#Thoughts on Garen?

good against actual top meta, harder to play than most people actually think

Easy to lane against if you have a brain, but when you don't play top yourself and the Garen gets fed it feels miserable to play against. the ultimate 1v1 machine.
If you play a melee character into a fed garen then you don't get to have fun until you fed enough to roll over him. Bonk + spin + 30% hp execute lol.
But like Garen is like the "assault" class in FPS, its the basic character that everyone starts on to learn how to play he game and then once they know the basics most people move on to a different class or playstyle.,

garen main copeing

Flash R to shutdown the 100% hp 10/0 enemy adc 🗿

Minor inconvenience during lane, useless afterwards
Since he only has 2 things he can physically do without the potential to outplay, you can just play around it

He's fine but the ms buff on Q feels bullshit to play against when you're trying to chase him

bro does not die late, q + e + r usually results in a kill

Simple champ are harder than complex champ
Because they are predictable
And champs like Tryndamere,Garen or idk Malphite does one thing and that's all
Most of the time those champs don't outplay they just play and wait for their opponent to resist them
And if they don't they die
(i'm not a Garen enjoyer i'm even far from it bc i don't like ad champ)
As a Example let's imagine a 1v1 between Garen and a Riven
Lvl 1 he loses and has to conceed CS or trade health for it
Lvl 3 he loses and conceed more or gets denied CS and exp
Lvl 6 he technically win but Riven has more mobility so she can just not fight him

I mean if you know what a Garen can and cannot do how do you die in 1v1
If you play a champ with a good early (idk if sett has one ) you can zone him from cs so he loses the exp of the 3 melee CS
If not wait to see what spell he took lvl 1 and walk up or not in consequence
In lane simple champ only kill dumbasses and greedy player
And if he doesnt win lane it will be hard for him to flash R and kill your ADC
And if he tries to flash Q E R your fed ADC then just Peel him you can predict that Garen only wants to do that so just react and don't cry about his simplicity
(i say that but yeah if he gets fed for any reason he will be stupid but like every Bruiser because this class is like that)
Also maybe some people doesnt know but the Q of Garen cleans slows and his W increase his tenacity for a little time so it's kinda like a parry for cc's
TOS : this is the opinion of a random Gold 3 player so feel free to tell me to stfu

I mean if you know what a Garen can and cannot do how do you die in 1v1
perhaps flash + R at 35% hp? after losing every trade but regening back to 100%?

Don't trade and wait for your jgl so you can kill a champ with no mobility
