Garen's Spin does not crit anymore
Flat out wrong. It still crits.
An early Phage isn't needed because most time, you have the movement speed advantage. And the slow proc alone is a bit wasted, because you need it at first hit.
- Well, this is a revamped guide and people which readed the old guide want to know what has changed.^^
- Actually, Bee knows it.^^
- Warding, well, first, a general ward guide could help you better than me at warding. Second, Garen is earlygame very item dependend and needs big farm. Because of that, he has very low potential to ward anything. If one, his own brush at all, which he most time doesn't need at all. Garen is one of the best champs to resist ganks.
- Again, Garen is very item dependend. You not only get the items for armor or magicresist, you gain way more important stats. You need the movement speed of Force of Nature or you will fail at Garen. And swap out Atma's Impaler??? Well...
- Well, that is not very easy to say. Garen's counters are actually not metagame based. But I could think about adding an section that describes some enemies you meet solo top. And people which could be hard for you in the overall game.
Thanks for your review
- I understand you want to go for 3 Doran's Blade but getting other items like Phage fatser might be better. As u have it you want players to go straight for 3 Doran's Blade, which I think is a waste unless you lack damage and can't seem to save more than 475 everytime you go back to heal. Should players go for other items before Doran's Blade if they have the gold? I think you should touch up on that.
- There really isn't point to show "old" Garen is there? Just stick to what the people need to know. It's making the guide look cluttered, and no one wants that :)
- You need to recheck your spelling and grammar, I found several mistakes while reading through
- Do you suggest warding as solo top? Yes/No? Get that topic in there if possible to go with your laning sections
- Make it easier to decide for other items based on the enemy team, ie. have a list of items read for:
AD Heavy team, AP heavy team, etc. This way a player won't necessarly need to spend time reading what to get if they're in the middle of a game and they need a quick look.
- Can you simply the counters to Garen section? Like a point form list of the champions and what to do, instead of just paragraph to read through
Please think about what I suggested. +1 nonetheless for the good guide.
And completly revamped my guide for it.

Rewrited it, I didn't notice that.^^
