Garen Needs A Nerf. There I Said It.

Its that time of the year when Christmas spirit is high, Gifts are here, and post of necessary nerfs start conflict.

Merry Early Christmas Bitches and lets start this holiday off with wtf league has been up to, or rather what they haven't been up to (which are nerfs)

Hey rek'sai how you doing down there in the dumpster? Remember when I use to own the map with you? well that's done for along with the bazillion other champs that were once beloved by me and other rift walkers. But I digress.

Garen holds a pocket warmongers, a silence that also cuts armor, mobility for days, a breed of tankyness and damage that I genuinely am struggling to find another champ to even relate it to, as well as a true damage ult that is truly devastating, Like the pun? no? well I apologize for trying to add a spin to this rant post.

An example of just wtf is league thinking with this champ, is nunu.

I started to main him because he looks cool and to be honest that's the only real joy I get out of league anymore.

as I started to play nunu I realized that this is how you make a champion. possibly OP under circumstances and skill wall, but can be countered and has blind spots so to say. With that being said nunu does not belong in league of legends. Hes to balanced (and I'm not being facetious when I say that). Ult CANT be coupled with zhonyas and literally can be broken by just about anything but if its not broken then believe me it will be flashed out of or dashed out of.

But honestly the above paragraph is neither here nor their. The real reason I bring up nunu is because of a engage I had with a Garen.

I held 310 armor as Nunu given just about every champ the opposing team had was AD, Im lvl 18 with 4,000 health and I found myself in a bit of a tussle with Garen while defending the last mid turret. This Garen was also lvl 18, held mainly all tank items with the exception of last whisperer.

Now this Garen proceeded to use his E. This one ability half healthed me. It genuinely brought me down to half health while I sat there under turret laughing at first at this Garens feeble attempt or so I had initially thought intll I began to become worried.

Then he Ulted and finished me off the rest of the way....HE FINISHED ME OFF THE REST OF THE WAY.

Let me simplify this for those of you who are still chuckling about the clever pun from earlier and might've missed this.

Nunu lvl 18, 310 armor. Garen tank build lvl 18, last whisperer. E, R, Nunu dead.

How in the world is this okay?

I know people are going to comment on this thread and defend Garen. But in the face of this what leg can you stand on?

Like honestly a piece of me is posting this just for the asinine comments defending this as balanced. I really wanna see people get in Garens corner and mention how the 7 people in challenger don't play Garen because hes bad in that elo.

When I last checked he had the highest win rate, to no surprise to me.

You know what I change my mind don't even nerf him and as much as id love to see him deleted off the face of the planet, I will settle for a rework.

now I know with thousands of games in solo normal que that garen thrives in this environment. But can we just all come together this holiday season and revel in the BS that is Garen. The ability to just flash R then W out of the situation, maybe ge gets cc for a moment and then uses W to get out because unless you have extreme damage youre not gonna kill him while he runs past your entire team.

at the very least agree with me that its just a bad way for people to start this game. Garen is just so stupid strong and excels in way to many areas that the newbies that are broke in BE that give him a try and feel like the best player ever is not instilling the actuality of the game and are ultimately hindering the novices to the game. And I say this not blindly but because its been observed and tested.

I constantly check the toxic Garen profile after the game and see his match history. and all the games he didn't get top so no Garen for him they got completely stepped on. they don't hold the core strategy and smart engages in there mind simply from maining this champ.

and if you read this and cant find it in your heart to agree with me on this matter, then let us atleast come together on how bad fallout 76 is.
