Garen counters more laners than Olaf. And he can actually snowball harder out of it.

Ignore him, the moment Nickname sets his "mind" on another of his screwed up ideas he will just continue to "I am right! I am right! I am right! I am right!" the whole time, no matter how reasonable and overwhelming the arguments against him are.


Garen: Tanky dps, falls of pretty bad late thanks to skillset, early ok, wouldn't survive on an AD carry build, blahblah you can now stop reading and start spurting nonsense again.

^False.

A fed Garen can still be kited to hell and back.

A fed Olaf means your carries AND tanks are dead. And iirc nothing counters true damage.

Edit: people need to stop posting stuff while I'm typing my responses.

Recently garen has become pretty popular combining judgement and an infinity edge.
i tried it myself and it works, but i wouldn't try it on high elo rank.

Half of you are dead wrong. Garen has a monster lategame when hes built properly and does chase carries out of fights effectively. Olaf and garen are completely different champions, and olafs lategame is horribly overrated.

So I was half right and not dead wrong? ;p I only play Garen. I suck at Olaf. I only say what I said about him based on my experiance learning to ADC with Ashe and getting murdered by Olaf D: Ragnarok > Enchanted Crystal Arrow.

Well, in the video, elementz says exactly what I said, Tanky assasin, flash+q+e+r and any carry is dead, tanky without many tank items, creates a whole new role.

That is only partly correct... if you go in for that combo you are going to get exhausted by peelers, and if you don't instagib them in a Q E R rotation you won't get a second chance.
