Garen, He needs you rito.

He needs to be as viable as other top lane fighters. He can't do that right now.

Garen is very good at diving one person. After that...he tanks damage. He has no hard cc. His ultimate is countered by anyone building mr bc why would he build mag pen. So any mr built by the enemy diminishes his ultimate scaling. His qis probably his best asset in a teamfight. the 2.5 second silence is quite powerful but everything else is quite lackluster as far as team fights go

He has no hard engage other than run in. and he has no way to peel beyond his silence. so he can't go in bc any hard cc ruins his initiate. He cant hang back bc hes not effective at peeling. So what does he do? He eats damage and ults one person. Nothing more. Nothing less.

ya he isn't fast enough, and also doesn't have enough free stats and regen. he could use another execute as well, I've been having trouble getting pentas lately

Darius made him to do what Garen can't pretty much anyway

I hope Garen's on the list of reworks for this year.

The issue is garen's binary playstyle. If they buff him enough to make him powerful, he,ll just spin 2win and stomp every elo. IMO, he needs a retune/rework.

If he is so "boss" where is the high elo play? No where. Bc he is outdone at every facet of what he does.

He's in the same boat as vlad and morde, riot really doesn't care about them and there's not enough collective bitching at them for them to do anything regardless. Unless the lot of them are going to be part of that toplane initiative morello talked about, we're not seeing anything being done for them anytime soon.

See this is what I am hoping for this thread. That eventually it will get big enough and a Rioter will see and realize that these champs are played. And that people get frustrated when fun champs like Vlad, Morde, and Garen aren't able to make as big an impact as other champs like Renekton.

Garen's Passive is called Perseverance, but works like it was called "Sew Wounds".

I means Garen's Passive need more presence in the game. I think if it is called Perseverance it would be like "Garen's Health Regen increments by 1% for each 1% of his missing health."

Thats a little extreme but I definately agree his current passive is only good for sitting at tower while they push. In the mean time you are missing cs. Bc if you are playing against a somewhat intelligent lane opponent they will not let your passive begin if you're in the minions farming. So his passive needs a little bit of a tweak. And then I'd like to see his w and r reworked as well.

I don't think his abilities are a problem. However, Garen is opposite playstyle of Darius. But I think Garen,s passive would be more powerful against a poke lane. That is why I said that. If Garen costs 450IP, he is a pick also for learn how to play LOL. I think Garen should to be a good pick in EVERY situation. I tell I play LOL by 2 years and I never understand how to use his passive.
