One of the most important things in the game is farming. It's an easy and safe way to get items and carry the game. You can see more about wave management in the bottom of the guide.^^

Other things that might help you climb:
Focus on your own mistakes not your teams mistakes
Don't use the chat, it will only distract you
If you die a lot then buy more pink wards to prevent ganks and look at the minimap more often to see if you can find the enemy jungler. If you see the enemy jungler bot, you can play aggressive without the risk of getting ganked.

Hello guys this is my Garen guide. I have been playing since season 2 and have been Challenger the last 4 seasons. I got 2 accounts in Challenger at the moment and I'm trying to get my 3. smurf to Challenger. Right now I focus only on toplane where I play Tryndamere most of the time. You can join my stream if you want, would love that^^ https://www.twitch.tv/kurtdenstore21 . Garen is sometimes in high elo so you should come watch my stream and maybe you are lucky to catch me against a Challenger Garen - Garen is pretty fun so you should try him^^

There are other builds/runes to Garen that works so you need to figure out what works best for you. You could use my build every game but I would recommend you to form your own builds that works with ur playstyle.

This is my Challenger accounts

This is my greatest winstreak of all time in ranked

This is 2 of my smurfs

Have a great day!

SUMMONER SPELLS - FLASH: Garen should have flash every game, because I believe that is his best summoner spell, it helps secure kills and survive ganks. IGNITE: Ignite gives you the ability to secure kills because it deals true damage and it makes the enemies heal less.

Doran's Shield: This is the most used first item as Garen. I would recommend you to pick this item everygame. However if you feel like other items works better for you feel free to change it.

GAREN
THE MIGHT OF DEMACIA
Born into the noble Crownguard family, along with his younger sister Lux, Garen knew from an early age that he would be expected to defend the throne of Demacia with his life. His father, Pieter, was a decorated military officer, while his aunt Tianna was Sword-Captain of the elite Dauntless Vanguard—and both were recognized and greatly respected by King Jarvan III. It was assumed that Garen would eventually come to serve the king’s son in the same manner.

The kingdom of Demacia had risen from the ashes of the Rune Wars, and the centuries afterward were plagued with further conflict and strife. One of Garen’s uncles, a ranger-knight in the Demacian military, told young Garen and Lux his tales of venturing outside the kingdom’s walls to protect its people from the dangers of the world beyond.
