Can AD bruisers and tanks go top, mid and everywhere around the fucking map and it's okay but take a mage other than Liss and Vlad top and they completely get fucked because they cannot contest against the sustain and mobility?
Had a Garen mid that was able to just completely outsustian me and they won the game. Albeit, more so because of their jungler and our useless jungle and top laner. He was just able to sustain sustain sustain and keep pushing.
What the flicker
if you lost mid lane to a garen, then thats on you.
garen doesnt even do well against mages because of the constant poke and their superior waveclear pushing him in, giving them time to roam around the map and snowballing the game while he just sits there grabbing the couple cs he can get.
hes more of a counterpick to ad assassins in the mid lane.
i know riste played garen mid lane two seasons ago into a lot of matchups including mages, but he did so by getting constantly pushed in and forfeiting cs just to survive until he could do something midgame where he won purely off macro play. currently that doesnt work.
