I'm not a fan of the Heal, it's useless late game, while you could have a more useful spell such as flash, ghost or exhaust, and also if you build warmog's then have the sanity to build atma's later for armor damage and judgement extra damage, ALSO not a fan of the thornamil, sunfire cape is a good item on garen.

1. Your build sucks
2. If you speak English as a primary language you have no excuse for how badly written your guide is.
3. There are better tank options out there. Garen should probably be played as an attack damage player.

-1, mostly because of your grammar.

Try out Amumu if you want to tank.

Sry but heal....u can't make heal look viable. Maybe it's get picked 1 time out of 100.
Your lanemate will be nice, he has some summonerspells too for escaping.

Some more con's for your list: Lacks at initiating, Gets ignored in Teamfights, Weak CC.
U just can't play Garen full tank. Thanks to the point that he has only ONE cc, he is not a viable tank. And if u rush Randuins, why are u bulding the HoG so late and not in early game for even more gold?
Quoted:
I know that a Garen without AD would make anybody think he can't help in nothing, but it isn't truth.

Ofc its true...atleast, you can swap your Guardian Angel with an Atma's for some damage.

sry, but -1

For grammar and spelling mistakes I'm sorry but I'm not an English expert.. :P

Related to spells, as I tried to say before, I know Heal looks bad on any build but you can do the same build despite the spells you choose. I guess I would be hypocrite if I had put there spells that I don't use.

About items list I guess it's a matter of preference. I did good almost all times I played with this particular build and just tried to share it. I know that a Garen without AD would make anybody think he can't help in nothing, but it isn't truth. It can really makes some difference.

Since it is my first build I apologize for any errors and mistakes in it and expect to improve the best way I can. As soon as I have more stats and results of this build to share I will post them here so it can explain better what I tried to do.

Thanks!

Full tank Garen doesn't work simply because he gets ignored... He has only one hard cc, his damage will be awful, and he simply doesn't have the cc to be anywhere near a good tank. Change it, change it, change it! This simply doesn't work... I'm not downvoting, the build is fine, the guide is fine, it's just full tank Garen can't ever be competitive or viable!

With this build you won't have any damage to stop the enemy team, so they pretty much will just ignore you and kil your entire team.

The first thing u see are the spells... just no... The second thing u see is the title and items... a full build garen is just fail... If u are rushing warmog, atleast get Atma's at some point. The description looks nice, But also there are WAY to much spelling and grammer mistakes. i recomend that u copy paste the guide into word, and just fix them red and green underlines. I'm sry, I have to -1. this build need some work. good luck :)

Yeah but either way they just wouldn't focus me.. As a Full Tank Garen I can just stay ahead of my team and even go into mid of enemy team and do as much damage as I can cause cause if they try to pass me to get my mates they will just die.. With this build you can push almost alone and leave my team safe behind me..

Thanks for comment!

You realize that Guardian Angel is a worthless tank item since once you get it, nobody on the other team will even think about hitting you instead of the carries.

It just depends. I usually play with Heal & Ignite cause its a powerful combo in first levels of the game. It could be the difference between die or not, just like Flash, but Flash only works for one champ and Heal can help an ally too. I'm not worried that I can die, but laning with Ashe for example, makes her a very fragile champion and Heal can make the difference.

But all this is my opinion, and like I said summoner spells is the part that is more likable to change depending on player's preferences. :D

Thanks for comment!

No need to take heal if you are enough safe player and not so greedy, take flash and ignite / ghost and ignite, thx.
