Well i'm from Vietnam so i play in Vietnam server but i don't know what it called.
This guide is very good i use it in ranking game and because of it i quickly jump from Silver 1 to Gold 5
I beated a lot of top laner, even some make me have to "Hug" tower and wait for someone to gank.
So this guild help me a lot and i want to share it to the people in my country, but i just wonder that can we just make a guild but copy mostly everything from the original guild and just translate them?
i will wait for the answer :>

Enchanted Armor is more effective on Standard Garen (I prefer :) build than Adaptive Armor , as shown below.
For Enchanted and Adaptive to be equally effective, this equation has to be true. I suppose bonus Armor (Ar) is always higher on Garen than bonus Magic Resist (Mr):
<=> Ar/Mr = 1,6666
If Ar/Mr < 1,6666 (i.e. they are closer together than if "="), Adaptive Armor is less useful.
If Ar/Mr > 1,6666 (i.e. they are further apart than if "="), Adaptive Armor is more useful.
You can use this rule for any champion, just put in the numbers for Ar and Mr (on lvl18 for example) and compare. If Mr is larger than Ar, replace Ar/Mr by Mr/Ar and compare to 1,6666 as shown above. Note again that Ar and Mr are bonus stats.
So you only go for Adaptive Armor if you have 4/4 on Enchanted Armor .
Second question is whether we want Hardiness (with Reinforced Armor ) and Resistance (with Evasive ), or if we can sacrifice one for more Enchanted Armor , which scales far better with our tanky build. If so, I would sacrifice Evasive because it makes only 4% dmg reduction, as much as approx. 4 points of Ar and 4 Mr would (Correct me if I'm wrong).
However, Adaptive Armor is more effective than Resistance as soon as you reach lvl6. So you should
either max Resistance and take Evasive , putting 2/4 in Enchanted Armor and 0/1 in Adaptive Armor
or put only 1/3 in Resistance and go for Enchanted Armor 4/4 and Adaptive Armor 1/1.
