Garen's unkillable late game is cancer. Its time to nerf the big guy.

Darth Sidiouss··7 votes·5,158 views

All im asking for is to nerf his movement speed from Q a bit lower the base armor from 78.5 to 70.5 and lower his regen after lvl 16 and dont even bother to mention the win rate %%%% We all ban him.. lets be honest here ...

Being bronze does not make you wrong. I'm not saying I agree with this guy, but rank alone means little.

Darth Sidiouss1 votes

everyone has different situations for remaining ina league for me its ping. be more respectable of other players rank.

Harsh, but I respect it. I try to avoid complaining about game balance because I'm trash anyway and my problems probably stem from me not being good rather than the game being unfair/unbalanced.

The Bíg Ticket6 votes

Thats why low elo people shouldnt be allowed to post about game balance.

Fjiordor2 votes

dunno it differs. Generally speaking this is one of the better posts as he even tries to give a reason for his opinion. I just think QQ threats that dont want to discuss something and are just someone spewing out his opinion should be considered spam and as such deleted.

The Bíg Ticket2 votes

What reason is he giving rofl?

Angry Monster1 votes

Just cause the OP tires to attempt logic that does not mean it is a good post on balance. In fact i would argue that a QQ thread is at least more honest approach than what the OP is doing. This is really a " I am bad at this game and garen makes me mad post".

The OP wants to destroy anything that makes garen a semi viable pick. The OP shows a complete lack of understanding about positioning and and game play.

Has the bar been lowered so much that posts like the OP are not BAD anymore? Personally i can not take these boards seriously anymore. Feelings are the only thing that matters here, not logic and reason. IT is wrong to think that X is trash/low quality here.

That's why we need more moderation and bans for people like you.

For speaking the truth? Okay.

item 3036 item 3153 item 3071 This 3 item combo shreds any tank...

shyie1 votes

Ummm...

What champion can use a build with those items?

Veruka2 votes

You can put item 3036 item 3153 on your ADC You can put item 3153 on your AD JG You can put item 3071 on your top lane bruiser

Shred.

And Ashe can actually use all three.

He's nerfed in every aspect compared to prerework, got his items nerfed because of ADCs... yea. I can't teach you how to beat him, but you can surely find someone to do it for you.

Lugg2 votes

The problem with Garen is that once he does get item 3083 item 3065 he really is pretty much unkillable after level 9. The regen he has is almost like a permanent Mundo ult.

This wouldn't be bad if he didn't have so much damage.

{quoted}

9

This just shows you have no clue what you're talking about.

Lugg1 votes

Do you even know what happens with Garen at level 9?

Mickey Donnerudo2 votes

He maxes out one skill. Usually his E. That's literally the only thing worthy of noting.

At level 11 his passive gets buffed to level two, and his regen actually becomes something formidable (about 20 hp per seconds after 6 seconds out of combat). But that's not level 9, now is it.

Lugg1 votes

Very good, I usually manage to trick people with the level 9 thing. So well done there.

However, once he does hit 11, Garen becomes ridiculous hard to kill because the items make his regen AT LEAST 50 per second if he isn't taking champion damage. That's not even taking into account the extra armor and mr he gets from his W passive.

Mickey Donnerudo3 votes

Yeah let's convince people that I know what I'm talking about by spewing false information, and then congratulating them for finding out the "mistake"! That's a Great idea! Good going, me!

Lugg1 votes

And yeah, let's personally bash the poster because I don't actually have a valid argument against him. Good going you.

Mickey Donnerudo1 votes

You got yourself into it. Don't pretend to know something, then still pretend you knew something when you got called out on it. I have 0 sympathies for you.

trash sion1 votes

The argument against it is that unless he snowballs, he won't have 2 items by level 11 along with boots. If he skips boots for two items, then he can't catch you. If he skips cleaver for warmog/visage, then he won't do any damage if you're a tank. He's only a problem if you're a squishy melee, in which cased you asked for it because he's a counterpick in some situations like, oh, any champion.

Who picks Garen to kill tanks? No one. His job is too charge the backline and kill a carry, which his ult lets him do without any damage items. Once a carry is down, good luck killing him. That is why the OP called him cancer.

that's some garen...that's like 6k gold...you're lucky to have ONE of those items at level 9

Can't tell if serious or...

Hethalean1 votes

I never ban him myself. However, I am not sure why his Q breaks slows.

Darth Sidiouss1 votes

thats another thing. you cant catch him for shit and then he just walks back with full HP its the most unbalanced shit ive ever seen.

Ralanr6 votes

Hard CC prevents him from running away.

Poke prevents him from healing.

Darth Sidiouss1 votes

sounds good on paper.

Ralanr6 votes

As someone who has killed many Garen's and rarely lost lane against him, I can assure you it works.

SithesisLord1 votes

And ingame too.

Nothing better than going Kayle against Garen and essentially nullify his passive and his Q MS boost.

because slows are literally everywhere. if you dont have 1 or 2 slows in your kit, you can itemize into them on any champion. some items and champions even bring permaslows.

and garen doesnt have the pentakill potential of darius, which means hes not as devastating even if he gets into your team. so he gets to be a little bit faster overall.

plus, he doesnt have a hook or slow to stick either.

Erdamon1 votes

I seriously don't know where do all of those "nerf Garen" threads come from, I haven't seen him in like half a year

Ralanr2 votes

Garen kinda shits on people who have no escapes and can't out trade him. If two juggernauts come into lane and one is Garen, then Garen will thrive if he gets an early lead.

He's pretty easy to play around early though. You can mess up his Q pathing pretty easily and if you respect the damage of his E then you'll know to avoid it whenever.

The only thing that you can't really avoid is his ult. True damage or no, it is going to kill you when you get low enough. The trick is to not get that low when dueling Garen (unless his ult is on cooldown or you're Olaf).

His silence is a bitch if you play ability reliant champions. But most auto attack based ones won't be worried.

Angry Monster2 votes

its a NA bronze problem, Though the problem really is not garen.

Austin Covello1 votes

My smartass post aside, try Tryndamere into Garen. Ult when you get low, and you'll frustrate Garen no end.
