Garen will not be picked nor banned all Worlds...but still gets hated on

Garen is my favorite champ but I am more of a spectator than a player of this game lately, but sadly this game is less and less fun for me to watch much anymore. Other team first picks Riven, oh baby Garen is gonna be played here he comes......NOPE. Garen blows unless the team is 5 melees...I forgot. They nerf Garen because low elo can't deal with him, so now I don't get to see him in competitive play which to me is a failed champion update. Garen receives heavy hate by Bronze/Silver players but is a joke in competitive, how can that be seen as a success? He also got nerfed repeatedly while never being picked! Every new character gets to be OP, but Garen is most hated champ in Riot circles I am convinced of that fact, how can such an iconic character never be played on tv?! If you only watch LoL and don't play you have NO IDEA who Garen is, it's just sad

Fuck off, atleast Garen didn't become something unrecognizable that alienated all of his mains

Real talk who would actually want to watch Garen played besides Garen mains.

I actually made a comment a little while back that appeals to this.

We have our OP picks (Garen, Darius, Fiora, Mord, Skarner) these are banned ALMOST every game in solo queue, however are not contested or picked in LCS.

The comment I made a little while ago was..."what's to stop riot from telling the pro's to NOT pick said champs due to the fact that they outright know they are OP"

The pro's would have no problem with this because they would just play everything OP from the previous patch. Therefore it wouldn't be as apparent in a live broadcast like worlds that Riot has completely broken champs. We won't see season 3 Kass level bans for ANY of the FOTM that are currently 100% pick ban in solo queue.
