Suggestion 4 a Garen Rework
This is my first post, so please don't eat me........don't eat the help.....

Now, I really like Garen, I think he might be my favorite League champion but I noticed even though he does not use mana, energy or rage/fury bars he's not meta.
For while I just couldn't understand why, he's got movement speed boost, scaling magic resist and armor and even has a ulit that kills people, sometimes, when it’s not blocked by barrier, spell shield or canceled out by a last second heal.
Why isn't Garen considered to be a meta/Hi Elo champ and then I realised, he doesn't have anything that really makes him standout, hes just a swordsman.
There is so little in his kit to make him effective either as a tank or fighter, as a tank he doesn't scale as well as your Malphite or Galio's as a fighter he doesn't do as much damage as your Rivens or your Renekton and his kit is predictable and offers less utility than both tanks/vangards and your run of the mill fighters.
Someone once told me "main reason why Garen will never get to the championship stage is because everything he can do, another champion can do better."
I really didn't want to believe this at first but after doing bit more research, I found out it was true. In nearly every aspect of combat Garen is lacking whether it was in his team-fight potential, or his overall damage or general utility/practical applications of kit it was just lacking compared to your Kennens, your Dr. Mundo's and your Tryndamere's.
So what could be done to change this, what do be done, to make Garen more appealing, to keep the skill floor the same but to make him more rewarding for people who would like to master him, while at the same time not making him OP but making him more team-play focused?
Well here are a few suggestions
New passive
Momentum & Restoration This gives garen a brand new kind of bar, that “can” charge 2 things at the same time,
[(http://opgg-static.akamaized.net/images/lol/passive/Garen_Passive.png?image=c_scale,w_50&v=1)]
Passive Part 1 Momentum Garens maximum cooldown is increased by 5%, making his new maximum cooldown 50% and after Garen has been in combat for at least 3 seconds, he will start to gain Momentum while Garen deals or receives damage his movement speed is increased by 25% and his cooldown reductions are increased 25% scaling over 6 seconds.
Passive Part 2 Restoration Garens maximum Health is increased by 5% and when Garen has not been moving for at least 3 seconds he will regenerate 1% up to 6% of his health over 6 seconds. His health will keep regenerating at an accelerated rate until he starts move to again, during this point his Restoration will get gradually decrease.
Decisive Strike [(https://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/7/74/Garen_Poro_Icon.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/120?cb=20160208232552)]
Garen gains a burst of movement speed, breaking free of all slows affecting him, when in range Garen leaps at his target, His next attack shreds the armor of his foe, while dealing a % his base damage and silencing them.
Once you purchase your ultimate this is increased 25/30/45 per point invested into Might Of Demacia.
Courage & Perseverance [(http://scontent.cdninstagram.com/t51.2885-15/s480x480/e15/11184707_1416279735357165_1099731545_n.jpg?ig_cache_key=OTcxNzgwNjgxODUwMjY0NTU2.2)]
Garen passively increases his armor, magic resist health by killing or assisting in killing enemies. Garen activates AOE shield that surrounds him, any teammate inside the shield have his and their incoming damage reduced for a short time but the duration and size of the shield increases by 10% per teammate inside.
Once you purchase your ultimate the duration and size of the shield increases by 15%/20%/25% per point invested into Might Of Demacia
The Kings Judgment [(https://i.ytimg.com/vi/15_CkWRGDI8/maxresdefault.jpg)]
Garen rapidly spins his sword around his body for 3 seconds, dealing damage to all enemies around him for the duration and shredding the armor of enemy champions hit. Each rotation reduces enemy armor by 10 point, once you purchase your ultimate the armour shred is increased 15/20/30 per point invested into Might Of Demacia.
Might Of Demacia
Garen calls upon the might of Demacia to deal a crippling blow to all enemies in his path, Garen leaps toward a targeted enemy champion and after short duration reduces the sight radius of all enemy champions in “range” and turns the “ground” that targeted enemy champion is on into Demacian domain, reducing the movement speed, magic resist and armour of all enemies on the area of effect and dealing true damage based on the enemy's max health over 5 seconds.
So this is a targeted AOE blind that last 2 seconds the scaling reduction to the movement speed, magic resist and armour lasts 5 seconds and the true damage lasts 5 seconds.
Passive each point put into the Might Of Demacia, increases the armor shred of The Kings Judgment and Decisive Strike and using Might Of Demacia, automatically activates Courage & Perseverance even if the skill is on cooldown.
The main reason for this thread was to give a suggestion of what kind of champion Garen could be, if his kit was more team focused and if he had unique features such as being a tank buster, similarly to a Vanye or Kog'Maw but in this case Melee version.
Let me know what you lot think and thank you for reading,
