Garen rework

It feels like Garen deserves an uptade after all his suffering. with old champion design, boring gameplay and frustrating to play aginst he doesn't bring anything to neither competitive players or players who are just trying to play the game for fun. I just wish Riot would at least consider starting a rework for him and making him an actuall fighter type of champion. Low health, high damage scalings, and at least some sort of crowd controll. With dodgeble damage, mobility and high skillcap Garen would be funny to both play as and against instead of the complete opposite he is today. His W should be on a tank and not on a fighter who can pick up a ... lets say Youmuus first item and kill his lane opponent in one ability rotation while still being incredible tanky in a duel due to his 30 free armor and magic resist and 30% reduced damage active. His sustain feels really boring to play with and a ''combat sustain'' like Darius and Maokai would be alot better for gameplay. His ultimate feels really old and annoying when he can click on you in close range and almost deal half of your health. What if Garen's mighty Demacian sword became some sort of Gangplank ult but of course instead a sword that maybe deals damage, boosts ally champion damage or just crowd control. Then he would fit more in to both competitive and high elo. I think there is a couple of champions that got left behind when League of legends uptades and I understand that its hard to keep track of everything, but updating these champions would make the game much more fun to play and I think its definitely worth the time and effort.

His kit is already unique: No other champion in the game offers me the joy of DEMACIA!ing people like he does.

But seriously: He's fine the way he is IMO - a simple champ that is excellent for learning how to play top lane and the game in general. Not every champ has to be as difficult to play as Azir. Not every champion has to be a good pick in competitive.

garen is useless as hell if enemy knows how to kite, specially if he can't one shot em or doesn't use flash to all in.. wish they would at least give him a gap closer.. or make his q be immune to all types of cc, that would be cool, rather have that than a silence.

I was rather surprised that Garen's Q didn't get reworked in to a leap effect with the move speed on the back end.
