Can we stop pretending Garen's %true damage is a big deal?

1% per auto against a target he has no way of controling, post-6. Irelia does more true damage on her autos than Garen's.

"But muh spin" he barely has any ticks on his E until level 13 and requires his target to eat the entire attack over 3 seconds. Vayne procs her Silver Bolts twice before Garen is done with his spin, while a single Vital Proc from Fiora will out-damage his true damage as well.

Not saying he is bad or anything, but his %True Damage is hardly impressive. His ult hurts like hell tho.

I've had a garen ult me as villian and it did 1000+ true damage. So yes, I believe the true damage is humongous.

900-1k true damage is kinda a big deal.

granted that damage is done on oppoenets that are at 100-200 life anyway kek.

i think people are more mad that its point and click with no real way of avoiding it if he gets on top of you.

PASSIVE: The enemy with the most kills in the last 5 minutes is marked as the Villain, causing Garen's basic attacks and each spin of Judgment against them to deal 1% of target's maximum health bonus true damage. The mark cannot be assigned to another champion while Garen is in combat with the Villain. If more than one enemy has the same bounty, the enemy who received it first is marked as the Villain.

pretty sure he deals true damage to the villain with way more than just autos
