So who thought Garen was a good idea?

(skip to 26:20 in the video I linked, or just watch the entire thing and cringe as this Garen just sh*ts on this Riven)

Garen is the easiest, most skilless, most retardedly overloaded champion in the entire damn game, who's idea was it to make him manaless, have a speed up, a silence, an AoE spin, a shield, a passive that regenerates his health,an ultimate that basically means you can't be at half health near him so good luck farming, good luck winning trades because even if you are out damaging him, as soon as you have half health it's over, you lost, it doesn't matter, because he pressed R and clicked on you.

And even if you somehow escape with your life, it still doesn't matter because he has a passive that will just regen him back to full hp in a matter of a minute. Garen is disgustingly overloaded, who in the entire game has as much utility as him, while still being a massive tank and doing a f*cking stupid amount of damage.

The only TRUE counter is probably Trynd (maybe kennen/gnar), and that's only if you have good connection, if you're on anything higher than 100ms you're screwed because Garens ult hardly has a wind up at all.

And I know what half of you will say, "You can easily kite him" "Just counter pick him" "He has no mobility". Well, there's the thing, this doesn't make a difference when you're laning against him and not playing one of the three champions mentioned above you will get completely decimated, even if you farm under turret you are at an extreme disadvantage, you will lose cs while he gains a lead on you with cs and exp, and by the time it's late game, if you haven't managed to beat him, you will be completely useless, down on cs and levels there will be no chance of a come back, leading your team into a 4v5.

Why does he do so much damage, but not have to build a single damage item? Why does he have health regen, a speed up, a silence, an AoE ability, an ultimate that can pretty much 1 shot you if you're the villain (without building damage items)? Why does he have all this items at his disposal, but still be so disgustingly easy and brain dead to play?

If I could have the chance to do so, all I would do is remove his silence, that's all.

Edit: I am 1000% aware that rivens #1 counter is garen, I am completely aware that the video isn't 1000% relevant, I get it.
