@Riot what is your opinion on Garen?
Because literally every toplaner is a better choice than him and is weak in early and late game

I think garen is awesome and stupid strong. He can tank, there's that crit garen build going around, and late game that ult can legit do 1000 true damage; i've had it happen to me before.
Never again......
Plus Garen counters Riven, and Riven is showing up a lot more right now. Great pick in low elo. Also, Darius counters garen, so if you're saying garen is a lesser darius because garen losses to darius, I think you might have this a bit twisted. See, Darius can use all of his abilities before garen can get a silence down to cancel them. You activate your W before the silence, E that garen toward you, use your Q before the silence, and them prock your W before the silence. If you have phage/black cleaver/ghost/stormraiders surge, you can even get away from garen's spin to win if you're not ready to keep trading.
But yeah dude don't be fooled, Garen is good and might even get you to gold. I'd say Riot feels the same. They'll update Aatrox before they give garen another rework, so get comfy. He's here to stay.
Garen only one trick pony, Platinum 3 here.
There aren't many people like me, but Garen is in a bad state right now.
He deserves movement buffs to compensate for the rylais/frozen mallet meta, indirect nerfs to his core items.
Garens a low elo god...

In brackets Mid-Plat and above.
He's balanced in Low-ELO, which is probably why this post got so many downvotes from Low-ELO players frustrated because they don't yet understand how to counter Garen.
