Garen's In Game Appearance

I was doing a few matches with Garen, since I had not played him in a while. I then realized that, unlike his visual representations such as spash art and comics or videos, he is really thin in game. His armor is big and heavy, but when I look at his arms, they are super skinny. Why is a guy who is supposed to be big and muscular so gosh dang little in game? His in game appearance (body style wise) does a poor job of representing his appearance from the splash and other media. It is so weird. I know there are bigger problems, but shouldn't champs have a proper visual representation that matches their other media and descriptions in lore?

Old crappy model. Don't think anything of it.

My guess would be that it is a comprise to make him look better from above. His shoulder pads and the armor on his arms aremade bigger to be better readable, but they had to decrease his arm size to compensate for this.

It probably has to do with recognition, by having a bulky silhouette you know who he is and what he probably will do, if you've never seen him before or theres a lot going on.
