Will garen come back into the meta with the armor shred buff

Ah yes garen the classic #spin2win champion. It's been like that since the very beginning. I haven't seen too much of him lately. He's an easy top lane to play like I said before. #spin2win. He's currently a preference pick but not like a meta pick like Camile, Vi, shyvana, twitch, etc (not by any particular role). Garen normally goes black cleaver for the cdr and armor shred . That's a total of %55 armor shred. This isnt lethality. It's pure armor shred. Do you think we will see more of him next patch and will we see more of crit garen as an unrelated topic (fun). Edit: that already happened so no.

it's closer to 40% shred

Probably not, he still has no unique reason to play him other than he's enjoyable to play

Well if Riot's claim is to be believed, Since he shreds the opponents armor rather than simply ignores it, it would offer more team oriented power, particularly on an AD heavy comp. Those buffs were designed to give him more team oriented power, and give him a niche in a team comp.

That probably won't make him meta though, as it would require such a comp to be meta.

Also, since he is shredding armor, he might be a good pickup against tanks who scale with armor. (perhaps a counter to Malphite or Rammus. )

The only way Garen will be meta with such a flawwed kit that he has now is if he is downright broken.

Right now Garen is a mediocre champion
