DFGaren would be proud of these changes if he had lived to see them

I have a feeling that secretly, Rito knew that they couldn't buff the cooldown while DFG existed, because it would make wizard garen (already a magnificent specimen of the magical practices) into the most powerful being in existence. He would make the game explode through his sheer mastery of the arcane.

RIP Wizard Garen.

He only ever learned one spell, but its name would come to be feared throughout the land... Justice.

Fun fact!

Garens ult has a cast time. (for counterplay right?)

If you zhonya during garens (you know the way you would to avoid say Syndra, Veigar, fizz, Darius, ults to name a few) his ult doesn't go on CD.

Garen then ults you a SECOND time, as soon as your zhonya ends.

It also has a short range.

The potential of getting escaping still exists.

Except that if he begins casting it, it will always complete. If you for example hourglass during his first attempt, and then flash right after you come out; if he managed to click on you before you flashed (smartcast ftw) he will still get his ult off. #counterplay

Oh yeah. Except his ult requires you to be low health, for him to land the worst execute in the game.

You know. That's counterplay too.

LeeDark1 votes

Yeah, you're worried about the counterplay against a magic damage ult on a physical tanky champion that requires you to be low enough to execute you.

The counterplay is actually pretty obvious. Or, I should say, counterplay options, since there are MANY things you can do against it.

Lissandra Bard MasterYi Shaco Fiora Vladimir Elise Fizz Zed ?

also technically RekSai can go untargetable, but there's a channel time before that actually happens. And Kalista can give untargetability to another champion

And Tryndamere Kayle Zilean can all negate the ult

RoyaiChaos4 votes

Zilean doesn't negate the ult, you still take the damage.

Literally all they need to do now is remove the self-slow on E when moving through units and I would ask for nothing else.

Now lower Quinn ult timer to 120/100/80, lord knows she needs it.

Doesn't Quinn need a lot of things?

Yea but reducing her ult timer early game would be a great place to start really.

Doesn't matter. Hexdrinker cooldown is 90 seconds so his ult still can't hurt you.

I really doubt Hexdrinker is going to save you from 525 + 40% of your missing health

It doesn't have to stop all of garen's damage just some of it to be worth buying against his ult

Just wait, they're going to change his silence to an interrupt in order to compensate.

Don't fucking do it, rito...

Xx420n0sc0p3sxX3 votes

Although he isn't op, I really don't want these buffs to go live. He's gonna have it every time he gets back to lane now, and Garen himself is pretty toxic early, mainly cause of q>e.

Just my opinion, obviously, but I feel there is a good reason why its high early game.

Verxint6 votes

If Annie gets to stun-tibbers-dead you within 20 seconds of you walking into lane, garen gets to silence-spin-dead you just as often.

But liss can do the same thing and noone bats an eye? Hmmmmmm.

Liss doesn't do it from 700+ range like annie. Most people seem to forget that Lissandra has very low ranges on her abilities except her e. which is pretty easily avoidable if you juke correctly
