Garen's Q does not remove attack speed slows. Why is this?

Garen's Q: "Garen cleanses himself of all slows affecting him and gains 30% bonus movement speed for a few seconds." This sounds much like Master Yi's ultimate: " For 10 seconds, Master Yi gains bonus attack speed, multiplies his movement speed and becomes immune to all slows." Despite this Yi's ult removes attack speed slows (correct me if I'm wrong there), but Garen's Q does not. Why is this?

It's probably just an oversight, either in how his Q was set up or in how the description is worded. It's probably only supposed to clear you of movement speed slows considering how the rest of his kit is designed, so it's most likely just an issue with the wording.

I believe this is the most likely reason as well. But I like the idea of Garen getting rewarded for when he uses Q; that sometimes It's better to hold q to cleanse an incoming status affect rather than to just run at them and hope to hit. I feel like choices such as this increase Garen's limited skill cap, and would like to see the ability do as it says.

Because most of your damage comes from spinning?

Yi still gets attack speed reduced even if he is in Ult. Idk about garen.

I thought his ult only disasbles movement speed slows

Yeah thats correct. His attack speed will be reduced if malphite hits him with his smashing ground move.

THANK YOU! That's exactly what I wanted to know. Garen also does not cleanse/remove malph slam.
