Good build, and strategy. Hiding in the bushes does more than you know. It worries the enemy champions, because they don't know where you are. So they're less concentrated on the other champion in your lane.

Now that Garrens been slightly un nerfed, this build is even better.

I'd just like to point out that instead of sunfire cape, perhaps a thornmail be put in place? I mean, only if you're getting targeted whenever you're on the map or you're taking a ton of damage. Because with thornmail, some of that damage goes back to them.

And also, it's not always necessary to get the wards. Some teams never really gank. I would say get one or two in the begining, just in case, and if they're not ganking you, don't worry about getting more later.

very good guide which explains a lot +1

Garen is my favorite champ and i wont give up on him.

but to be honest, there is no glue that could patch him up at this moment.

Game has changed since Garen got nerferd ( well ridiculusly overnerfed but meh), champs have more hp, ppl play more defensivly with more armor and MR, and its hard to keep up.

Not to mention there are new melee carries who have better CC, embeded life steal, dash, skill flash, and so on and on.

I dont even think old Garen could keep up with that poor 3.5second silence and (now almost useless) Courage.

But, if there are still ppl like me who pick Garen anytime they can, this build might just ease their pain a bit.

+ 1 for trying to pick up the pieces. He is still one of the coolest looking champ. But he sucks now to so many of them. I think the nerf him to much, do u agree?
