53.40% winrate across all ranks 52.27% winrate in plat+ 51.93% winrate in diamond+ 51.53% winrate in masters+ Now this may not seem bad, but lets look at his winrates individually Challenger - 50% Grandmaster - 57.14% Master - 45.95% Diamond - 51.94% Platinum 52.37% Gold - 53.11% Silver - 53.29% Bronze - 53.87% Iron - 54.79% Now considering 90% of the playerbase is gold or below, just think of how overwhelming garen is rn, even in grandmaster the simplest champ in the entire game, has a 57% winrate, FIFTY SEVEN PERCENT WINRATE IN GRANDMASTER now you might be thinking, what does that have to do with anything, well its quite simple, garens broken again, he's in every god damn game, can 100 - 0 someone with Q E combo at level 6 w/o even using ult, is tanky as hell with no armor or mr, is exceptionally hard to kite with his tenacity and speed boost... Like wtf riot, he was doing fine and then you buff him for no fucking reason, now i have to waste a fucking ban on garen because if i dont, the enemy picks him and we have to waste 30 min until they win because garen just destroys out carries and takes too many resources to kill, legit you cant let him be this strong, it doesnt work, there is no outtrading him and on top of it, now he can jungle aswell Yes this is coming from personal experience, every game ive had to play against garen (minus 1) we lost simply because garen won the game due to us not being able to do anything, we tried to play around him, doesnt work, he just destroys the carries, even with peel because his E cannot be interrupted and slows dont work on him, if you focus garen, you lose because it takes so much to bring him down that the enemy team just destroys you due to you not having anything, the only way to beat garen is to get far enough ahead that he doesnt matter or catch him out constantly....

Hmm I think it's too early to tell for sure. The buffs they gave him were huge but his winrate will fluctuate with a patch that just came out

I dont mind Garen being strong, but he's WAAAAAAAAAY overtuned,

Just did a match with him having only item 3078 and item 3087 and he was doing 1600 damage with Q and Spin at lvl 12 So stupid

Pls can we let Garen be viable in high elo for once?

I mean why balanced the game around player who don't know how to kite a champ who doesn't have a dash with the second worst MS Steroid in the game.

Also Darius, Morde and a lot of champ are already a threat in this low level so adding Garen here will make no difference.

he is in a perfect spot. the higher winrate at low elo does not matter and is normal for a champion with a simple kit.

people at silver gold and iron play difficult champions like yasuo or riven and lose games against champions like master yi, warwick and garen. what else is new?

his winrate at platinum and diamond is slightly strong but not strong enough for a nerf so far.

master is just lol. you are grasping at straws or have no idea how statistics works. how many games did garen have at masters when you made this post? 10? you need at least 1000 games to make real statistic.

his winrate decreases by almost 1% every rank tier when you go from low to high and suddenly is supposed to jump from below 52% to 57%? lol yes that makes sense.

JG Garen is great he can clear one side gank a side lane gank mid then clear the other side and gank that side lane all while never falling below 80% HP.

And sett as well and everybody is happy.

Now considering 90% of the playerbase is gold or below

have you considered that this 90% of the playerbase is just not good at the game and still learning to become good players?

you know all of this time whining and complaining that a champion is strong at low elo could have been invested into looking up what high elo players are doing better when playing against that champion.

but apparantly garen is waayyyy strong according to some iron and bronze players.
