Laning as/against garen may not be the most fun, but he is by no means a legit, gamebreaking problem.

never said it was game breaking just legit uninteractive bullshit

Oh, for sure. Boring as fuck and when you lose, you don't feel like you got outplayed, just stat-checked.

considering you have nearly a second to use any mobility skill you have in the rare chance he does get to you with Q's animation time, I don't really understand how you can be anything but outplayed if Garen runs you down.

And by interactive you want what exactly? He is literally running at you and doing everything he can to get an advantage while leaving himself open to punishment. What more do you want from him? Learn to lane against him

In competetive games where you coordinate with your team he realy suffers but in solo q where your jungler might not even look top to see garen pushing he becomes an unfun experience

and? tell me why do i care? why should i care? he is a very binary champion. You know when he is going to all in you and you know when he is just bluffing. Whether it's SoloQ, Normals, Competitive or lvl 1 games. Garen's strength and weaknesses are the same. Sorry but you don't need jungler assistance to deal with him unless you got counterpicked/counterpicked yourself

Garen is an incredibly straight forward champion. If he knows what he is doing he knows exactly how every fight and trade will end up before he goes in. The same exact thing can be said about laning against him, if you understand him you know exactly how everything will turn out.

He has been like this since season 1 at a minimum, and his kit has not changed so much that very early guides to beating him would be unusable. There are roughly seven years of useful guides out there for you to use if you can't seem to deal with him.

I'm biased on this matter, since I'm a Garen main and have played him since I started back in season 1. I'm not biased because I want him to be good, I'm biased because I've known how to beat him for years and have both put that into practice against him and learned it the hard way by having others beat me. He can't make plays and only gets ahead if you make mistakes and let him, so if you really think armor does nothing and him building squishy means the lane is over you have more than a few things to learn.

If you have any actual questions I'd be happy to try and help, but if you're just going to vent about him you're going to have to put up with me venting as well.

If you want, a really hard counterpick toGaren , play Kayle The poor man, can't do anyting 1 vs 1, and it doesn't get any better for Garen. She scales so hard , that once Kayle has two items she will be able to just stand still and auto Garen to death, never mind even bothering to kite.

you'd be surprised how quickly that lane will go to shit for kayle if she gets ganked once tho. Her margins are quite small and if a phase shift garen gets to her he's going to stick to her.

If you buy a pink control ward and plop it down at river, remember to ward the other bush with your yellow trinket...

sorry whats your problem again? lack of map awareness?

Toplane isn't a lane for toplaners: it's a lane where one trick ponies with high ego (like yours truly), counter picking meta hoes (toplane has the largest roster of viable champion picks, each with different objectives in it) and pretty much every single game, is decided by which jungler ganks first.

Your point is invalid. toplane itself is uninteractive
