Even smurfing is garbage.

Still the same thing as in normal elo. Game decided by botlane. Gold Vayne and Leona carry the game because hurr durr adc counterplay adc mechanics. People in gold can use vayne to her fullest potential. Lets nerf Garen

Welp by carry i mean hold their own against me...

Then tell your team to ban her or pick her yourself

Vayne is not hard to play, especially in her current iteration with fleet footwork/relic. People need to stop pretending like it's so difficult to position in soloque when you get a free ranged alistar headbut, invis, and a small dash on an ADC. This is coming from someone who actually plays vayne as well.

If you can't 1v9 you shouldn't be smurfing

Not like garen isn't broken as hell atm. He causes more problems right now than a Vayne ever will, due to his insane Tenacity Stacking, Healing, Damage. You just can't isolate and kill him anymore. He can just destroy all your CC and run away if in trouble.

tenacity is irrelevant. His healing is a bit obsene but w/e one auto cancels its. His dmg is only overwhelming if he gets a full E on a squishy ( he wont EVER...) or via his gimped passive

I want to know your strategy for making Garen so irrelevant that he doesn't need to be 4v1'd, can be killed before he escapes, or can't escape.

I mean.... I main champs that used to actually box Garen in to where he could at least be 2v1'd.... and gave him overlapping cc. Now..... he gets away from them all:

Karma Morgana Zyra all repeatedly apply item 3116 I can land Karma W and Q after W Q on Garen and by 3 sequences, he's far enough away he can escape. I can Q Morg, Ult him, Soil him with the pool being behind him, and he can get through all 3 cc's with no problem at all. And he can do it chain after chain with no misses.

And, I can't get both item 3165 and item 3116 by the time he has this capability, because I generally play support. By the time I encounter him, he's got a 2-3 level advantage and 3 items. I can destroy him if he's on Lethality, but if he's tank, he just.... never dies, even if my team is 4v1ing him.

So by all means. explain your point of view as a rengar player.

Dunno what you are talking about. I don't see Garen aproach anyone in the midgame without getting blown up. The only use of his i've seen is a good peeler for carries with the silence and shred. He is useless outside 1v1's .And even 1v1 he can be beat unless you got vilain on you. As for lane phase i litterally rolf stomp Garen on my smurfs everytime i see him( As Reng considering i quit darius cause he is attrocious atm) and talking about smurfs cause nobody gonna pick him above d4 ) His tenacity is USELESS cause everyone and their mother has knockups. You won't see a team without at least one or two knockups/displacements in a game.

In other words, you're saying he dies because the other team has knockups and enough punishment to kill him in 1 second, soley due to the skill level of the elo putting fights together and tight.

I've played Plat/Diamond, and I've played Silver/Gold, and here's what I find:

Yes. At high elo, players know how to collapse on someone immediately when an opportunistic cc hits them (just had a Diamond game this morning where I Jungled Leona vs a Xerath, Ashe, Zilean, Gangplank, Lee Sin. I spent the entire game pretty much just ulting Lee Sin and Ashe, and as soon as I did, even if I was out of timing, our mid Lux was just blowing up every stun, even though Lee was being a slippery devil. I couldn't get a lot of Q's in because Zilean and Xerath were Zoning my Leona with slow after slow along with Gangplank barrels, but that didn't stop my Lux from just destroying them).

I'm sure most of your Garen games also have an early game item 3123 , but in Mid/Low elos, a Mage just can't get Garen low enough to proc Grievous wounds, and no one really builds Execution there.

He also is tanky enough that if you ignore him, he has Demolish and pretty much 3 shots a turret, and most teams don't have consistent enough knockups. Since I do Zyra, I do occasionally have one Knockup, as with Nami, but those don't really seal the deal vs a Garen who always has a item 3065

Nah mate.Never bought a excutioner vs Garen lol. He healing is pathetic till lvl 11 where he unlocks his passive.

Again.... you're talking as someone who lanes top, not the team who inherits him from a top.

For all intents, let's suppose you're a new perfect top player, and only a top player.

I need a top only player to look at the Garen a team inherits if a perfect Top player like you doesn't exist, but instead slightly wins his lane and is level 13 by the time the other team inherits him. He's level 17 by the time the other team is level 14, because he just never gets stopped from farming, and never misses anything..... perks of a poor top laner who didn't really feed..... but couldn't stop him.
