Nerf Garen's spin

I think Garen needs a nerf on his spin ability. It says it reduces armor, and I think it is overpowering even when I build a Dead Man's Plate and Thornmail in one of my games.

Or you could just build HP. Or kite him around. Garen has so many glaring weaknesses that RIot felt compelled to give him the armor shred buff to his E in the first place.

That literally just got added, it's not broken by any means at all. If you're letting a Garen run up to you, silence you, then land an entire spin without kiting away, you deserve the ultimate coming. Where else would you allocate this damage? His Q is easy to avoid, his W is damage reduction, and his ultimate is single target without any form of a reset, so why try to nerf his only "good" damage ability.

If you want power allocation, suggest something. Coming here saying "I feel X is OP, nerf plz" gers you nothing.

As a garen play i feel like this new buff is a step towards something good in the future. I really hate being kited to death. Give me more buffs.

i thought the buff was mostly useless.

when garen wants armor shred, he can buy it with cleaver. all it did, was make him snowball more when ahead, because he can now go into item 3142 immediately.

but getting ahead is one of his issues. not to mention, he cant always translate that snowball into a win. its a buff, it looks big, but its almost inconsequential.

like i still got outtraded by a goddamn nasus at every stage of the game recently. even though it was a stack nasus. just because i dealt so little damage early on, even on a damage build, that he easily out sustained it with his lifesteal. i couldnt even beat him later on when he was the villain and i had a ton of armor including thornmail.

i keep saying garen needs a way to sustain himself through fights, so he doesnt keep losing battles of attrition.
