I loved him before they "remade" him. Honestly why would they put a slow break on his gap closer if the slow break doesn't last throughout the skill? Like hurr durr they are going to slow you AFTER you speed up obviously, and there goes that part of your kit. Lmfao.

Honestly, I think he would be OP if his Judgment would still remove slows. Actually, his Courage is so strong...

After looking into this thread I played Garen again.
And I have to admit, he is truly strong now. His Courage is really REALLY strong. I played him as a jungler for TONS of damage :P. But seriously his clearing speed is fenominal and his ganking potential is not too shabby either. I could see him doing this good on top too.

I will soon release a guide for this Garen-playstyle. I also found out a build that works even better, which replaces Frozen Mallet/ Warmog's Armor with Hexdrinker into later Maw of Malmortius.

Problem is you build damage and end up doing nothing because you die instantly in a teamfight, or you build tanky and still end up doing nothing due to having ****ty damage and scalings.

Foolish answer from someone never played Garen with the new Courage. His new Courage is a combination of a minor Olaf ult and a minor Alistar ult, 6 seconds active with a 12 seconds cooldown. As long as this is on, you are very hard to take down.

The main thing in playing LoL is to play a champion u love. Most champions are viable and ppl who under estimate them are fools.
Garen has a strong kit in his QWE and his ult is a finisher not the best finisher but its pretty good.

Play the champion u love or because having tons of champions u only like makes the game boring.
