Garen in URF

A Sutpid Idot··1 votes·2,049 views

Is there any reason why over the years of URF being out Garen his e glitch/bug hasn't been fixed. He simply cancels and reapplies and it just multiplies the damage almost killing instantaneously. All he needs in swifties, ghostblade, some crit and ghost and he just spams e and runs around like a madman. Some may say "Malzahar will easily stop him." And to that I respond with "QSS is an item!". Its just sad to see games getting demolished because Garen was in it.

its not a bug. its a side effect of how the cooldown refund on his spin works.

the ability wasnt designed with 80% cdr in mind. its cooldown is simply so short, that its shorter than the duration of the spin. when cast and immediately cancelled, the remaining duration gets refunded and the cooldown goes into the negative. when the spin is activated in that moment, its cast twice.

the reason why it wasnt changed is, because everything is broken in urf. there are champions that are just as crazy as urf garen.

They remove Garen from URF then people will just find another champion who is “too broken to be in URF and want them removed, too.

I don't think he deserves to be removed. I just think his e is a little stupid how CANCELLING it increases the damage

I agree with you but, in the end, URF isn’t a serious game mode at the end of the day. Things are going to be broken, some more than others.

His E isn't bugged/glitched

It's how the ability works.

Should they have put a bigger damage reduction on him like zed/sona? Yea probably

Does he need to be removed? Nah not really

How is cancelling an ability and increasing the damage how something is supposed to work. If I am starving and eating a hamburger I just stop eating it 1/4 of the way through will I be full?

Again, there is no damage increase.

Look at Garen lvl 1:

His E spins 5 times over 3 seconds Once you click E, there is an instance of damage, it then procs another instance of damage before you cancel it, and another instance when you end it.

However, in urf, the cancel cooldown is reduced by 80%, so you can cancel it almost immediately. The ability itself refunds his E's cooldown based on the remaining duration (3 seconds).

This means you can keep spamming the ability over and over again.

So lets say you can activate his E, deactivate it, and activate it again in the span of 1 second:

Activation --> +1 spin Damage inbetween activation and end --> +1 spin End spin -->+1 spin Activation -->+1 spin

You just hit someone with 4 spins in 1 second

Garen's E level 1 is supposed to do 5 spins in 3 seconds (1.6 spins per second)

There's your double damage "bug"

Edit: But hey, I almost have 1mil on the guy, what do I know? ;)

Ah my bad. Just thought Riot had screwed something up with the mechanics. Understood now. Thanks!

-5% Damage nerf on Garen, by the way. [sg-miss-fortune]

True, URF Garen is AIDS, but he is extremely weak against champs with hard cc (this prevents him from canceling his e)

These are some examples which I have seen annihilate Garen Chogath Thresh Riven Quinn Nautilus
