Garen, Garen, Garen Was somewhat balanced before your changes but now is getting banned 24/7 because you are not fun to play ageist and stupidly is op I will be listing of his abilities and some changes to make him fun to play ageist and more balanced I know most of these won't come into effect but hopefully Riot will at least glance at it.

His passive: Perseverance regenerates 0.2-1% based on lvl of his max hp every HALF a second when hes taking non minion dmg for 9-4 sec based on lvl at lvl 11 non epic monsters won't stop his passive This passive gives him lane sistane which is so annoying to play ageist when you don't have anything else than potions. here are my changes Change max hp to missing hp so it's easier to deal with and make its so minion dmg can stop his regeneration this way when Garen is low he needs to back off and play safe rather than just dealing with the minion dmg and charging you

His Q: Decisive Strike ACTIVE: Garen removes all slows on him and gains 30% bonus movement speed for a few seconds. BONUS MOVEMENT SPEED DURATION: 1.5-3.5 sec Additionally, his next basic attack within 4.5 seconds deals additional physical damage and Silences his target for 1.5 seconds. First off the dmg of this thing is insane it chunk's you hard in early and late game The speed boost is ok but take out the "removes all slows" on him and then reduce the dmg a bit for early game everything else is ok

His W: Courage Passively Garen permanently gains 0.25 bonus armor and magic resistance every time he kills an enemy up to a maximum of 30 bonus resistances Upon activation Garen reduces incoming damage by 30% for 2-6 seconds. Now this ability is basically ok but reduce the resistance from 30% to 10/15/20/25/30% as he lvl's up the ability

His E: Judgment upon activation Garen spins his sword around his body for 3 seconds For the duration, Garen cannot use basic attacks, is ghosted and deals physical damage in 5-10 based on lvl spins to enemies within range, increased by 33.3% when damaging a single enemy. Judgment can Critically strike , dealing 50%×1 + 2 × bonus critical damage bonus damage. After 1 second, Garen can reactivate Judgment to cancel it immediately, reducing its cooldown by its remaining duration. Now this ability is monstrous in laning First off make it so stuns and silences will stop Judgment and won't reduce the cooldown of it next reduce his 33.3% extra dmg to one target to 10/15/20/25/30% as he lvl's up the ability make so it can't crit that's just a no no

His Ult: Demacian Justice PASSIVE: The enemy with the most kills in the last 5 minutes is marked as the Villain. The mark cannot be assigned to another champion while Garen is in combat with the Villain. If more than one enemy has the same bounty, the enemy who received it first is marked as the Villain. Garen's basic attacks and each spin of Judgment against the Villain deal 1% of target's max. health as bonus true damage. Upon activation Garen calls upon the might of Demacia to attempt to execute the target enemy champion, dealing them magic damage. Demacian Justice deals true damage instead to the Villain. Now this Ult I like I say leave it alone it's passive is fun and unique this is one ability I really enjoy

Thank you all for reading my opion on Garen: the Might of Demacia Have a nice game And GG

I dont know what you mean by "banned 24/7", he is very rarely banned. Most bans go to Graves, Poppy, Kench, Zed, Xin, Fiora, Udyr, Mundo, Rengar, Malphite, Jhin, Illaoi, Lux, Quinn, Kindred, Ezreal, Lucian. To be completely honnest i havent seen Garen banned in a long long time. Even globally his ban rate and pick rate is very low. Also he isnt Bruiser, he is Juggernaut. Juggernauts can easily be kited and controlled, which makes them kinda useless. Especially Garen. Even Darius after all nerfs is more useful than Garen. Problem with Garen is that people want to kill him hard, so they just run while his team deals with objectives. If people focus properly Garen just falls off. Garen actually need to be buffed again to become kinda viable.

I dont see where you got garen bans 24/7 in your games. It leads me to ask you what elo are you playing at? Garen is by no means overpowered. He has defined strengths and weaknesses and in lower elos people simply dont know how to play around them. His villain passive can be a bit oppresive and limit your playstyle while it's on you, but he's fine to play against. Hes a good top lane bully much like renekton is, and wins nearly all matches, but just like other champions that are matchups, he is outmatched in and simply can't win.

This is literally "how to give a champ the lowest winrate in history"

I hate playing against Garen, but I'm in the B5 and the amount of times players pick champs with no regard to:

  1. Enemy Comp.
  2. Our Comp.
  3. Do we have CC?
  4. Do we have a tank?

So can you deal with Garen? Probably. I wouldn't know so I don't want to come down on one position or another. I will say he wrecks havoc on the low elo's because Bronze is defined by it's bad decision making in both the meta and the in-game choices.
