Garen is supposed to be a simple champ fun and easy to play. But he seems to fall a little short in higher levels of play. It is possible to make him more viable and keep his gameplay near identical.

His mighty spin to win.. make it no longer crit but apply on hit affects.

Mobility creep? Frozen mallet on the spin.

Ult then could be so much better think of garen wits end. His q and his spin would proc that 42 magic damage every tick while lowering enemy magic resist for his ult and also making Sun fire one of his core items stronger as well.

Prolly would need to special case the cleave from hydra to not proc tho I could see that getting ridiculous.

Life steal on the spin could im sure be tweaked to only be one third as effective like spellvamp if it proved to op.

idk if this would put him over the top or not but I atleast think this should make it to pbe for test run. It could be a strong step in the right direction. So please riot if your reading this atleast consider it.

I'd like to see it at least apply lifesteal. Not really a big deal but it would create some cool build paths.

lifesteal on his spells would make him insanely op considering his already high regen. I'd say buff his judgment damage but eliminate his crit possibility, I main as what I call a "Wet Noodle Garen" Tank with brutalizer or mercurial scimitar, some cases both if im not the only tank. Also I have a design for the skin wet noodle garen that i'm working on.

Life steal would be great on it. Imagine botrk percent current health passive to help him wittle them down faster for the big execute.

His already high regen doesn't persist through damage in the thick of a fight he should be able to lifesteal back up. heck the elixir of wrath already lets him do this. a buff like this would be more for wits end or botrk percent current hp damage to help him wittle his opponents hp to low levels more quickly or give him penetration for his magic damage ult.
