Garen Rework Idea

1)An idea I had was change his W to infinitely scale every time you kill a minion or monster you gain 0.1 armor and magic resist. I thought of it after I read his lore and in it his armor is petricite which absorbs magic and damage stuff so it could be like he keeps absorbing and stacking it up permanently and it can release the stored power as well (Sylas does it in the comic sort of) so maybe on activation he gains increased armor and magic resist like normal but it drains the stacks of armor and magic resist it doesnt cost mana or energy it would cost say 10 (1 armor and magic resist) stacks to use and grant more but after the ability has worn off it goes on cooldown until he stacks up more to be able to use it. Upon level up he gets increased stacks from killing things but it costs more stacks to use it and hence it gives even more armor and magic resist.

In short it gives him some potential for great scaling and some skill expression with managing the amount of power your armor has absorbed and should you use a some of it to gain temporary defenses or keep stacking it up so you have more stacks later on.

I had an idea where his q would also absorb and stack it as well as kills with his ult giving a lot but that seems like too much though it would be cool since i imagine since his sword is made of petricite as well it would do the same thing.

2)The second idea is a more extreme version of the first garen would passively gain armor and magic resist with his w stacking over time 0.1 every minute as well as upon killing things (infinitely) but upon w activation (it is a toggle) he would output this power. It would cause all his abilities and auto attacks to deal bonus damage (each with there own cost) as well as giving him increased magic resist and armor at a passive drain rate of 0.1 persecond. (This applies only to the bonus armor and magic resist he has earned from his passive and killing things it is his resource) you can either toggle it off or it will run out and turn off on its own.

I like the first idea better but second one just came to me and it might be interesting to see as maybe a separate character since it is a bit magicy for garen

As a main garen, i would like to see a dash stun or a pull for his rework. Almost all top lane champs have a dash or a pull with a stun. Garen has nothing. He has his charge from his q but thats nothing if the enemy dash aways or pulls him and stun him. The rework should add a dash stun on his w instead of an e buff. His W should work with the Shiled bash runes too. I would keep the change on his ult. Garen is a tank and is made to go in and stun but he dosent have that in his kit. As i said all top laner has a dash, pull or stun. Riven, Darius, Mord, fiora, gnar, Pant, illaoi (slow), Cho, Poppy, trynd (slow) urgot (dash and flip(stun) Atrox, anyways u get the message. So unchange Q, W works with sheild bash and dash/stun, Unchange his E and keep the R change. Thank you i hope this makes it to Riot.
