"We want to encourage Garen's tanky builds, so we're buffing all his base stats"

Are you insane? Have you forgotten Season 6 already? Do you REALLY not remember what happens when you give a champion that's intended to build a specific stat extremely high base stats?

You're saying full damage Garen is too dominant, so... You buff his base shield as well as his AD scalings? Effectively making him a LOT tankier innately, without having to build defensive items?

It doesn't strike you for even a quarter of a second that this will go the EXACT opposite way intended? You're making Garen tankier. Innately. He will no longer have to build ANY defensive items whatsoever as his base stats compensate.

Hello???

the 10% ad bonus on garen q buffs items like item 3053 item 3071 on him.

the shield was changed from 10% total hp to 20% bonus hp scaling and is much larger when garen builds more health this also adds a buff to the steraks gage and black cleaver build without buffing attack speed builds.

the bonus 10% resistance increase is extremely small unless you build tank items that have bonus resistance stats.

you have no idea what you are talking about.

if they buffed the q base damage by 20 and the w resistances by 10 flat and the shield value by flat points you would have been right but that is not what they did. all the buffs only give garen bonuses if he builds black cleaver and steraks gage into tank items.

garens strongest builds are almost no attack damage, health, and resistance stats.

everyone is building item 3006 item 3078 item 3046 items on him.

now look at the buffs. they do almost nothing if you have this build.
