I don't understand how you can argue that Garen isn't broken

He's a 55% win rate with a 15% pick rate and 17% ban rate.

What's even worse is when you look at his win rate chart for game time.

http://www.lolking.net/champions/garen#/statistics

His win rate before 25 minutes is over 60% and even in the absolute late game (40-50 minutes) does he drop to even 50% and then he shoots back up in the extreme late game.

His kits broken period especially when his is literally just press Q and run at someone and if you land it press E and W to mitigate any damage they can do to you while instantly winning the trade. I honestly think the free armor and MR on his W for farming needs to be cut in half and his E needs to bonus damage for hitting a single target removed because they literally gave him a free armor pen built into his kit making him not have to worry about building it. His W literally gives him a free item 1031 and a free item 1057 for a total of about 1500g worth of stats aka 9.375 extra gold per minion kill until 160 CS when he already has a damage reduction activation on his W.

It's just the meta favoring him. He isn't broken, Zoe is

Whoever says garen is broken needs to train their skills. Champ with the most counterplay

Did you just say Gnar doesn't counter Garen?

lol.

Garen can't even deal damage to mini Gnar without his flash being up.

In a world of damage

somebody who can press a button and have flat negation for a long ass time is gonna do good.

garen isnt broken, he just feels broken because of how simple he is. he favors mechanical knowledge over "herp derp press some buttons and you're deleted" he's a big fat tank who can dish out damage at higher levels.. i hate fighting him, but i love having him in the game.. winning or losing feels fair with or against a garen.. idk
