She is mobile, and can charm you when you run in to try to combo her. Really all you can do is get a good flash combo for a kill, or wait for her to miss a charm.
Akali
If she hops to combo you just press w, and then use your combo. Very unlikely she will be able to trade at all. Easy match up because she is a squishy melee assassin.
Anivia
Pretty darn difficult, the wall ruins your day, her stun ruins your day, her aoe slow ruins your day, her egg ruins your day, her damage ruins your day. Day is ruined.
Azir
He can zone you pretty well with his soldiers. However, once he uses his q to get them into position, then you can attack him, just debuff his slow with your q and combo him. His ult is also a bit of a killjoy for this build as well.
Brand
He has the stun, which sucks, and the burst to kill you, which sucks. However, if he misses his stun, you can one shot him pretty easy. He isn't a long range mage. No mobility, which is your friend.
Cassiopeia
Cass has some good damage, but no mobility, so if you catch her she is done. Her ult can shut you down pretty well, but pre 6 you can work her over with a good combo. Just do your best to dodge her poison.
Diana
Diana is a squishy assassin that relies on bursting down her opponent. Unless you let her snowball, you should be able to one shot her every time. Melee assassins are your friend with this build.
Fizz
Another melee assassin. If he ever hops in to combo you, just silence that fool and one shot him with your combo.
Galio
Actually such a laughable match up. You can remove his slow with your q, and he can't build magic resist against you really (well ultimate does magic damage, but your q, e will drop most of his hp). Also if you ever fear his ult coming in, just press q, it will make you attack him and instantly stop it. Pretty darn funny to watch.
Kassadin
Again, a melee assassin. Kassadin has to get right up on you which makes it not too difficult to pull off your combo before he can kill you. Just make sure he doesn't poke you down with his q first.
Katarina
Laughably easy. Melee assassin. If she hops you she dies. Your q stops her ult, and your w denies a bit of damage. Plus, she can't survive your combo because she is squish AF.
LeBlanc
Hard to play against. High burst, and high mobility. She should never lose this match up. Hope that you can get a q on her before she can return to her w and you can kill her. Don't ult the clone.
Lux
A good lux will be able to do fine against you. She can keep her distance, and poke you down, and also has a binding when you try to all in her. Plus her combo is devastating. However, if you get mercucial scimitar then you can just get rid of her binding, and run at her even faster! Pretty good item on Garen overall. Fortunately she has no mobility.
Nidalee
Pretty darn easy, but she can do good damage with her Q and is pretty mobile. However, your silence keeps her mobility down, and because she is so squishy you can probably one shot her before she can run away.
Swain
Dodging his root isn't too hard, and you can just use your Q to negate his slow. With ignite, you can combo him real easy and negate his healing from his ult. Plus you do so much damage so fast it is basically irrelevant. He has no mobility which is your friend.
Talon
His ranged poke gets old, especially because of the slow, but just use Youmuu's active to bait it out, and your q to get rid of the slow and you can 1 shot him easy. Just don't let him get ahead. Also buy pink wards, that ult is annoying and will save his life if you don't kill him right away. He is a melee assassin which Garen is great against.
Twisted Fate
He does have the yellow card, and range, but that is it. Besides that he won't one shot you unless he is ahead. Just wait for him to waste pick a card and combo him. He has no mobility, so you can dumpster him the second he wastes that card.
Vel'Koz
His range is pretty annoying, and he has tons of damage, a knock back, and a slow. However, if you reach this tentacled freak, he is dead. He can't do anything once you get your combo off on him. Just be careful to dodge the skill shots and save your q for when he hits you with his slow.
Viktor
I would say skill match up. He has crazy burst, some mobility, and a slow/stun. That gives him the ability to kite you, and burst you. However, you are much faster, and also have good burst. If you catch him, he is done for, just don't let him get an early lead on you.
Xerath
Lots of damage, lots of range, a slow, and a stun. That isn't good for you. However, all skill shots, and no mobility are a huge advantage for you. Garen's speed with his Q and Youmuu's is amazing and pretty easy to dodge skill shots. Dodge his E and you kill him easy.
Yasuo
I would say skill match up. This can be rough if he gets ahead. He does a lot of damage with just auto attacks, so the silence isn't the biggest thing ever on him. He is rather mobile, and does a lot of damage up close. However, you really have a surprising amount of burst, and if you get a slight lead you snowball on him super hard. Advantage is that he has to be up on you to fight, and that lets you be able to combo him.
Zed
Not too difficult. If you are smart, and time your W when his burst is coming in, and return your combo, you can 1 v 1 him pretty easy. He is mobile which makes it a little difficult, and he has really high burst. However, I have found that I can kill him when he tries to ult me because I can combo him before he can return to his shadow.
Early Game
-Focus on last hitting.
-Try to dodge abilities.
-Get your Q + E combo on them whenever they step up.
-Take advantage of your passive, and sit back to get some health back.
Mid Game
-Roam and smash kids whenever your ult is up.
-Finish Youmuu's and start IE.
-Once you get your ult it is a huge spike, try to snowball.
-Try to catch out their jungler.
Late Game
-Focus on getting on the carries.a-Look for picks whenever you can get one.
-Try to flank around the side.
-Wait for your team to go in before you do.
-SPIN and WIN
You Get Harassed... but
You Get Harassed... but
With this build you are going to be constantly harassed trying to get farm. You have your passive to help heal you up, but I would still recommend starting Doran's Shield because it allows you to regen more and take a bit less damage from harass. The biggest thing to remember is that this is to cheese people, and make them frustrated, you will get stomped until you find the right opening, which is usually a gank, or a roam on your part. Make sure to save your Q for when a slow or something hits. You should also just flash right onto them with your silence if you are confident that you can kill them. You will need to snowball for this to work at all.
