Any champ that has a similar kit counters him. Truly its the skill of the player not the champion

Trundle counters garen by out sustaining him in combat, out DPSing him in a fight, and stealing all the stats that Garen stacks (AD, health, and resists). He is literally designed to counter AD fighters, and does especially well against immobile ones since he can kite them and stick to them better than they can to him.

Renekton is also a good one since he has such strong early laning. You have to play aggressive to keep his passive from turning on, but his E>W>Q>E trade combo is really good at chunking Garen out while keeping his sustain up. I don't know too many of the finer details of the matchup since I haven't played Renekton in a while, but I know it has always worked pretty well.

Olaf is also good against Garen because he can bully really well and has good sustain. You use him a lot like Trundle in this matchup. The only issue is that Olaf likes to play at low health which is potentially very risky against someone with an execute ability.

Disagree with Renek, if Garen has half a brain he will silence and spin into you whenever you dash in as Renek and out-trade you every time. Used to main Renek and Garen was the one guy I dreaded.

Fair enough, I always just queued up W before W-ing in so that I would guarantee getting it off regardless of being silenced. Then since he's stunned you can either dash out (if he didn't silence you) or walk out if he did. They also nerfed Garen's silence duration pretty handily (only 1.5 sec at all ranks) so you can usually get the combo off now even if it is a touch delayed.

We can give you a ton of names, however picking a counter you can't play is a sure fire way to feed. Would you care to tell us what your champion pool is like first?

Also there are websites that can help you with this kind of thing without having to wait for replies.
