Easy Garen Fix

How about in addition to the upcoming change to the villain mechanic, you switch the passive on his W with his R.

Lets get in to the details. As it is Garen's free sustain should be enough for even a beginner player to survive even the most determined poke until 6. Meanwhile adding the villain mechanic to his W makes Garen an early global threat, but at the cost of early tank stats. Now they actually have to choose between sunfire and cleaver, rather than simply rushing one item and winning lane. However after 6 Garen will be able to quickly stack his passive armor and magic resist just as he had before.

Not only would this create counterplay for Garen, but it opens up choices that Garen players didn't feel they had before. Flavorwise it should be a simple change. And most importantly it doesn't fundamentally change the juggernaut rework. Everyone wins.
