Garen, the "easiest champion", should not be allowed to be meta

He's currently the second best top laner at 52% winrate If he's so simple, why is he so strong? Same with ADC's. Jhin and Kai'Sa are fairly simple, and they have had somewhere around 10% pickrate and 52% winrate for the past week Balance team needs to stop nerfing assassins for being unfun, and nerf the actually strong champions

Garen is a cancer ass champion and shouldn't even exist. At least his sister Lux takes an actual brain to play. Garen is simply too OP at no skill.

An easier champion to play should be easier to counter or less abilities to use in some situations. Garen stats are so high that it makes up for his lack of utility since he can tank and out dmg a lot of champs cuurently

The assassin heavy meta favored Garen's kit. A tank heavy meta where everyone's building magic resist would give him a much harder time

Garen's not something I would describe as a meta pick,

y'all can't forget that he has a 54%+ winrate in every rank below masters That's not acceptable

If he's so simple, why is he so strong?

because he's simple and makes up for his lack of versatility by having raw numbers? easy champions that are balanced will sit on a higher average winrate even in the ELOs where they stop actually being good.

"If he's so simple, why is he so strong?"

You'll find shotguns are pretty simple to use. You'll also find there are situations where they are effective.
