Builds BC and straight tank, does more damage than adc lategame while running around with 4k+ hp and 300+ armor and borderline impossible to peel away thx to swiftness boots and innate cc deniabilty. Good job Riot, really. claps

Juggernauts meant to be kited. How can you kite a fast-moving juggernaut (Garen & Skarner)?

Rito? -.-

I'd fight Darious over Garen any dag, at least if you stomp him in lane he's rendered semi-useless, he has less sticking power than before also.

Garen now is just so trolly, u can stomp him in lane and still get ur *ss handed to you because of riddiculous scaling and free true damage. Ofc

You make it sound as if he's harder to kite post rework instead of easier. Which is simply not true, since they nerfed his silence, his movement speed buff, and removed the 30% tenacity on his w active. Just get used to the fact that you have to respect him now and cant just outdamage him while sitting in his spin when he catches you in melee range. Yes, he deals a lot more damage. Riot also made it easier for you to kite him, maybe play around that.

Deadmans plate, which I rarely see Garen pidgeonholed into buying, gives him all the extra mobility he needs to stick to evasive targets. So just no.

Also, it's hella hard to focus anyone else on the opposing team when you have to spend ridiculous ammounts of cc just to keep Garen at a somewhat safe distance from your carries, a plan that generally backfires as he actually has other teammembers too.

He simply takes too much to deal with right now and he's making too good use of the new items sets and thus needs to be toned down.

The thing is many champs like irelia, wukong, vi, jarven, rengar, and many more work the same in that they are meant to dive the backline and kill your carries. In teamfights you need to use both CC and your carries must kite to escape but most melee champs have this playstyle in teamsfights not just Garen, while most have better tools to do it.
