If you play Garen a lot, I wanna know your opinion.

I do not think Garen needs armor reduction, I'm thinking some changes, but I want to know the opinion of those who play a lot Garen (who have high ELO, platinum+).

Garen new pasive: Garen heals himself every 10/8/5 s 5/8/10 % of his maximum life, If he is in combat only heals 5% of the life missed, the cooldown of the passive is reduced 1s for each enemy champion hit with his E. And change the stacks of the W to critical chance stacks when using the E, when using the E in the villain, Garen doubles the critical chance of his passive (and remove the True Damage System in the Ultimate and E). He is a juggernaut, it does not make sense that he helps allies with armor reduction. His function is doing damage while surviving on the front.

I think something like this or something similar is what he needs.

Anyway, I'm not a Rioter.

Honestly I only think Garen needs minor number changes to be better right now. Either a bit more defensive power early on to make up for his weakish lane phase, or a bit more speed to allow him to avoid those early fights a bit better.

That said I like the idea of Garen healing in combat, but I'm not sure that's the way to do it. I'd rather see it replace the True Damage from the Villain passive, where if Garen kills the villain his passive stays active for X seconds regardless of damage taken. Maybe give him a much weaker heal, or shorter duration, if he kills a non-villain to not too heavily suggest he target the villain in a team fight, if that's even necessary.

It feels like Riot is trying to force Garen into a niche that is too similar to other champions. I'd honestly like to see him returned to a state that feels like how he was before the Juggernaut update, but that's just me.
