Garen season 8 rework
As a Garen main,i hear all the time that this champ is unviable,not worth picking for climbing,etc. and i agree to some extent. You see Garen is an old champ and his abilites can not be compared to champs released in the passed 1-2 seasons.That's why i believe Riot should change him a bit,here is my idea :
-passive : the same
-Q : activating the ability once should do the same things as before ( m.speed,silence,more dmg ) but reactinating it on the 1st second should give garen a short distance dash giving him some close-gap and anti-kite potential.This would help against ranged champs and give him some mobility he desperately needs.To keep balance though,with the reactivation garen will hit his target with less dmg than the original and without silencing him.
-W: I loved season 7 rework on w, because its requires good timing,thus separating experienced garen players from unexperienced.So it should stay the same
-E: Again, activating the ability once should do the same spin2win as before with the applied armor shred but reactivating it on the 1st second should make garen stop spinning and instead doing a short range AoE stun for 1 sec or a little bit less. This way garen gains some cc so he can be useful in engaging teamfights.Thus the player gets to decide whether is right to damage his target or stunning him so the rest of his team can catch up.
-R : LOVE it as it is.
Overall i believe with this mini rework garen stays both the same and becomes different. New players in the game can play him as usual ( a super easy and funny champ ) but at the same time he can be used by more experienced players offering them more potential of making right plays. This new Q-E combo can be adjusted in both ganking and teamfighting. I believe this rework is balanced because its not buffing garen's kit but instead makes summoners decide between silence/close-gap and damage output/cc making experienced ones distinguish.Right now only split push garen is kinda viable but with these changes he can become more as a teamfighter so he can be both played as a tank with cc or a fighter.I hope Riot will consider this idea and make it happen.To all garen mains i say this : JUSTIIIICE! :P
