Despite building tanky, a Garen still does a tremendous amount of damage.
AP Amumu is still ridiculously tanky and also does an proportional amount of damage for a 3k health bar. :/
I think these two build paths reveal aspects of the two champions that have to be addressed and fixed. I could be wrong, and would love to hear opinions, but this is what I've gathered from my in-game experience so far.
Tank Garen does less damage than supports. He literally does 0 damage with 0 damage unless he pushes R on a low health target, but that's all tank Garen is useful for and his melee auto-attack silence.
Garen is garbage.
Until they're game breaking, it's not bad that they have different build options.
Definitely good that you noticed though. Some people champions as "this or that." Tank or damage, for example. You're noticing individual champion strengths that relate to itemization options. Basically, diversity
Haha, yea. x_x I think it's going AP/tank Amumu a really strong build path, maybe just a tad too strong, but not enough to need a big nerf. Maybe lowering the ratio's a little bit. I can understand the 70% AP ratio on his q, because it's a long range skillshot, but the w and e scaling is kinda.. super powered.
Ah, and you're right. Great input, thanks for helping me clear that up. That's a really good perspective on the whole deal, but I'm still going to run away at full speed if I see a crit Garen coming at me.
