@RiotRepertoir: Can we do something about Garen's early game
This champ is so bad right now. He probably has the worst early game right now, even worse than Nasus. And what is even worse is the current top lane meta, making Garen a guaranteed loss pick for your team. Can we please consider shifting his late game power to his early game. A lot of my former Garen main friends and myself, that have played Garen regardless of the meta, hardly play him anymore. What was once considered blasphemy, is now true, Garen is trash tier.
How to fix this: Change the scaling on Garen's spin. For example, at level 7 his spin would do X damage, at 7 ticks. At level 16, his spin would do the same X damage, but at 10 ticks. Thus, the only purpose of the increase in ticks is the quicker armor shred from cleaver, and the villain passive. I currently max his Q first because of how weak his spin damage is. It is almost better to just auto attack them pre-level 10. What values can we change the scaling on his spin to? His pre-rework values. Garen currently only out damages pre-rework Garen at level 16. Thus, implementing his old scaling, which would max out at level 9, would not be a problem since many people thought that Garen could easily be ignored in a team fight. However, with the villain passive, he will still be an anti-carry.
Can we please try this on PBE and if it doesn't meet expectations, we can have feedback as to why it is being scrapped.
