Will we see some changes to Garen to make him better soon?

I think our spin to win juggernaut need some help!

Like a Rioter said switfies nerfs and rilay, frozen mallet being so common now Garen is having difficulty dealing any damage:/

Reverting his nerfs would be a good start.

Maybe trade his spin crit for some other buff, it is just not the same now that Yoummu doesnt have crit.

Maybe if it didn't feel like the only Juggernaut with a built in speed boost was also the slowest I'd be playing more League right now...

Seriously, it's getting annoying how often he can be outran. I've started bringing Ghost on him just so I can properly close the gap and deal some amount of damage before I get kited to death.

Maybe when they finally figure out that giving people kiting capability also allows them to permanently chase down low mobility champions and balance things accordingly things will be a little less frustrating. Maybe then I'll stop missing the old, more reliable Garen who fell off late game and had a decent early game.

Once again, TrueNoxianMight campaigns for Garen. It's weird.

But yeah he can get kited to death. I played after the nerfs so I don't know what he was like before.

Personally I like being the hero to stop the Villain, but yeah I've heard old Garen players don't like it. Something about it being a kind of compensation for his nerfs.

I'm on board for a mini rework or change. There are only two things I want to stay.

Spin2Win.

Giant Sword from the sky.

Garen is fine

No, Garen's in a really good spot right now. He can't be pushed out of lane, even against his supposed counters. He deals a lot of damage for building Cleaver + all tank. You can minimize being kited by either split pushing/avoiding teamfight or focus on absorbing damage/peeling for carries rather than chasing their carries. You won't solo carry the game, but can hold a lot of the team's weight on his shoulders.
