What can I do as a support against Garen?

Worst Kench NA··1 votes·977 views

The last ranked game I played, I was doing pretty well until Garen did his usual thing where he becomes unkillable, which allowed for the enemy team to beat us after my ADC and I had a great laning phase. I don't really play top so I suppose all I could do in that instance is hope that my top laner doesn't feed, but when it comes to teamfights, what can be a good support pick to stop something like Garen?

people are downvoting this, so they might think youre trolling.

but in reality, its 100% a legit answer. if you cant peel or kite a garen with one of those supports, then youre doing something seriously wrong. like monumentally wrong.

at the very least in lulus and jannas case its literally just the press of a button.

Agreed. Garen falls off late game being able to only really focus down one target at a time and many adcs will have items item 3033 that can shred him. Combine that with Vayne Xayah Kaisa Jinx who can easily kite and shred him. All you have to do is delay his one source of engage which is a movement speed increase from Q for a short duration and you can literally pick any support with cc or a slow and counteract his engage and hard punish him in a team fight. There is no reason for anyone to be complaining about garen right now.

Hard cc Alistar Thresh Now the question is how good of a support player are you to stop the Garen.

you need to have some way of inputting commands into the game. preferably a keyboard. you might have some troubles if youre an amputee.

which support?

at least post your match history, so we can see what might have went wrong. first intuition would be that your adc didnt build armor pen despite getting ahead, and the garen stacked a decent amount of armor and his w, if you didnt do damage to him.

if this is the case, scream at him for pulling his builds off mobafire instead of adapting it to the current game.

I'm in Bronze 1 and I was Nami, so by one button, do you mean just bubble him? I guess I could, but that'd require me to hit it every time (which I can't hit it literally every time, but I think I do it well enough anyways). Is it just a matter of stuff like poor game knowledge and map awareness?

rylais and use your bouncing thing. or some other item with a slow active.

honestly, the jinx can just do it on her own if shes not stupid. a w from short range for the slow, into traps is easy on a target like garen.
