This is a horrible build... garen is not a carry he can be good early/mid but thats it you ks from the carries and btw YOU ARENT A CARRY, you ks from the carries they dont get maximum gold and lose later on. I HAVE TRIED THIS BUILD i destroyed early and mid 7-0-0 at 20m mark and they decided not to surrender and keep it going, in which they did, my judgement dmg started to suck, they got me 10-8-3, this grants no survivability and also a **** move ksing all the kills remember he cant do good late so dont ks fgrom the carries and if you dont ks this build would be useless

-1

I'd play this garen with defensive masteries, you don't have enough survival.

And I'd replace the two PD with youmuu's and atmars, both give you very much crit chance, armorpen and dmg. All what you need.

I'll vote after i'll try it but it rly seems fun:D

Even though this is the advertised beginner's build. I find it better than the highest rated Merry-go-round killer build. Anyone who plays Garen a lot can tell shortly that armor penetration beats crit chance any day, based on guarantees over chance. Plus, with all that armor penetration watch what happens when you crit with decisive strike, then judgement = most die just from that, and all the rest from the following Demacian Justice. Also, With the dodge (I am still 50/50 on using that, just have to play Garen same build but more offense or more defensive, I call them aggressor or ganker) you can at least easily dodge minion with great chance and other champs at low chance, but that possible damage could be an attempted gank. You will never see this happen and max damage otherwise, but most do not play Garen 15 or more games a day on days they play...ha!

As a beginner on Garen, I have to say that this build let me down. even taking the learning curve into consideration, I just don't see how this is viable. I crumpled when I went against any heavy carry, couldn't last long enough to penetrate tanks armor, and I didn't have enough health to withstand a single hit of Lux's ulti. Definitely won't be using it again. Also, both teams ridiculed the build from the get go.

I like it man, I LOVE SPEED... and this build has it. Make sure and don't die and the stacks idea is great.

nice man +1 for sure

Looks like a very solid dpsbuild.

I have never played garen myself, but i intent to.

Wouldn't switching out one of the phantoms for a frozen mallet be considerable choise?

Im no pro, just wondering :)

Yeah this build kicks *** im owning everyone in every match but sometimes instead of infinity edge i kinda switch it out for frozen mallet for the slow.

Wow dude are you slow or ******ed? That would be a whole different build and if you think that's what it should be then go make the build rather then posting this garbage on an amazing build.

Well anyways I like this build so I'm going to give it a nice +1

Its sad they took the dodge out of the phantom dancers but it shouldn't affect the build significantly. In fact they are cheaper now which is always good. Its true it will not scale as well with your defensive masteries and if you want a strong option is to switch to a 21/0/9 mastery tree taking the experience mastery. It will just add to the snowball effect. But of course you sacrifice some defense doing so. My advice is try it (cause I do both) and see what you think.

Are there any changes you'd advise with the newest changes to garen's judgement as well as the many item (such as phantom dancers) nerfs? Or do you still recommend the same setup? I'm working my way through all the higher tier champions and I've just picked Garen up the other day, this build seems to work nicely but I was wondering if you'd recommend any tweaks now the new patch is out?
