Garen seem to benefit nothing from those new masteries change, SoA was honestly the best one for him and the one replacing it doesn't even work on him.
Do you think we could make his Q root instead of a silence or make colossus mastery proc on silence?
give him more ms from q or base ms? anything?
When the guy in Master/Challenger who is essentially a Darius OTP defends Garen, you know that a champion needs buffs.
Honestly would like what they did with gangplank to do now with Garen. Lore change, rework, Visual update. things like that.
5 base ms, and 5% novement speed on his q back on as compensation for the nerfs to dead mans, swifties and boot enchant removals.
infinite scaling on his w passive as compensation for the defense nerfs on his items.
if he still needs it after these buffs, an increase to his base health at lvl 1.
The new masteries look really awesome and powerful, unfortunately, they are all "Everyone BUT Garen" masteries, and will put Garen in an even worse spot than he is.
Fervor rework will help out everyone BUT Garen, because he doesn't autoattack much when he trades.
Courage of the Colossus will bring back League of Tanks top-lane, letting champs that already have shields double down on shielding. Just imagine Poppy charging you (Doesn't matter if you hit a wall or not anymore), getting a massive shield, then picking up her shield for even more shields.
Or Nautilus who will get double shields every single time he autos you.
MS/tenacity when moving toward villain.
They'd probably only add something to his gimmick otherwise he'd be 'too reliable'.
Or something like that. Riot doesn't like Garen being consistent.
I didn't take SoA on Garen (Stormraider's for me) so I don't see the problem with the Mastery changes.
