@Meddler; Garen in 6.24 is terrible buffs
> As you may have seen in the 11/8 PBE Update, Garen currently has a PBE change that buffs his Judgement (E) to also shred 3-7% armor for 4 seconds, stacking up to 5 times.

That's really terrible way to buff the weak Garen. It doesn't translate Garen into the better play in the early phase but mid-late. There is already item called the Black Cleaver therefore buff doesn't make a sense. Do you want Garen to able to shred the tanks into papers? Fair? (The math is calculated as about 60% if E + BC.) But if not buy BC then what is his damage item then? GB is assasisin item now and Atma is already removed, Should Garen be tank... not juggernaut?
The correct way to buff Garen is
Base Stats (for early lane phase)
- Movement speed reduced to 345 from 340. (as tier 3 boot is nerf. SO without Deadman plate or swiftness then it's take some effort to chase or escape)
- Health growth gain to 90+ 84.25. (Poker like jayce, ken and other will attempt to stop the passive therefore no fun to stay under the turret)
Decisive Strike (for early lane)
- Upon the active Decisive Strike and ignore all CC. (It mean to capable to fear or trade against the opponent in safe and fair way.)
- Bonus movement speed gained to 35% from 30%. (Tier 3 boots nerf)
Courage (for late and teamfight)
- To active his courage to his team reduces incoming damage by 30% for a few seconds within 700 range. (That AOE... it would be improve his role as vanguard)
- 30% tenacity reduction ( Capable to ignore the supporter or poker)
- No capped after 30 armor and magic resistance but he will still gain .25 for every (ANY) units killed. As you know there is LW item that is already 45% armor reduction transformed 30 into 16.5.... Warmong will be the great core item for him.
Demacian Justice (and for better teamfight so they can focus on villain as Mini-quest)
- If Demacian Justice kills its villain, Garen causes all nearby minions and monsters to stun in shock for 3 seconds and;
- Enemies within the impact zone of 700 range are slowed by 35% for 1 second.
The heavenly sword is coming from the sky and will shock-wave everyone when it impacts on the ground... Does it make a sense to you? I meant look at Darius got cool way to kill his victim!
Garen needs to be cooler and fun as way as Darius is!
