Dear incompetent design and balance team. You've ruined Garen.

I know this is difficult to find the time to fix between the lines of drugs and hooker parties you get up to. But you need to fix Garen.

Garen was nerfed during the juggernaut rework. His early game was gimped, his E and silence gutted and then you shortened game length. He was absolutely guttered. His E isn't even viable in teamfights anymore with its reduced damage.

Garen was then systematically nerfed further via buffs to other champs and itemisation and ever shorter game times.

You then gave Garen a token 20 DMG Q buff then removed it months later when the noob low Elo players cried because Garens pick rate rose and you didn't give the community time to learn his weaknesses.

Currently the following champs gimp Garen:

Teemo Darius Renekton Keenen Sion Nasus Trynd (yes Reddit tryndmains list Garen as EASY. Thornmail doesn't work Vs conqueror) Vayne Lucian Jhin Heck even a good Riven now counters him!

Speaking of which have you laned as Garen vs any ranged now? With minion pathing being useless and damage so high it's a joke becoming a game of survival and praying. Juggernauts like Garen should have bully or at least surviving potential v ranged but after you gutted his E and Q all a Garen can do vs a good ranged is hit a little and run away before he is burst down......

It's also well documented at Gold Garen hits a wall where it's almost impossible to climb. Garen used to be viable higher before the jugernaught rework.

It's so bad Garen can't even counter Riven anymore. Again, just visit Reddit garenmains and see just how bad it is.

Garen is a dead champ. You killed him.
