Super easy, the only thing that really sucks about him is his e poke, but apart from that its easy going.
Camille
She can be difficult, but if you play it right and constantly poke with your q and e its a pretty easy match up
Cho'Gath
For ap cho this is an easy lane, he cant out damage you and he's not tanky enough to stop you from doing anything. But if its tank cho, hope for an early kill then farm, you wont kill him, and he wont kill you.
Darius
He beats you pre phage, then after 4 items, depending how stupid he is. Just q and e harass, just make sure you proc your thunderlords then leave. Otherwise extending trades with this dude is suicide.
Dr. Mundo
He isnt a threat easy as he does nothing. Later on he becomes a problem as he just becomes super tanky but thats about it. Post 6 because of ignite you effectively stop his greatest strength. Or just get executioners calling and that'll also stop him.
Fiora
Honeslty i dont know where to put her, she can beat you hard cause of the true damage, but if she stuffs up you destroy her hard, it really just depends on the Fiora player.
Galio
Basically the same as cho'gath if he build ap you smash him, if he goes tank, you do have a better chance of beating him than compared with cho however.
Gangplank
Another easy lane, you out damage him early and his w really only memes your ult, but he'll probably use it to stop your silence on him, which then makes it easier to kill him with your ult.
Garen
Lmao go to ranked fam
Gnar
I haven't played against a gnar alot so i cant really comment, but if he goes aggressive with his jump in mini form, go demacia on him.
Gragas
Both of you probably wont die if he goes tank, but watch out for his ult if you push him under tower, and ap could suck depending on how good he is.
Illaoi
Really bait out her ult then finish her, otherwise your gonna get assaulted.
Irelia
I always ban this champ, so i don't know how good she is or isn't against Garen.
Jarvan IV
He beats you early, if he goes tiamat into black cleaver then your in luck. Because you rush black cleaver you then beat him after that until he finishes his black cleaver, unless you get super fed of other lanes.
Jax
Honestly this guy is probably up there as the biggest counter to Garen. His damage is insane, he still gets super tanky, and he kills you fast than you can kill him. You best bet is to hopefully kill him early then roam.
Jayce
Can be really hard, unless the guys a moron, if he goes aggressive on you and switches to melee stance, just **** on him, if he never changes then you may as well farm under turret and get help from your jungler.
Kayle
I never see kayle so i cant really comment, but it'll probably just be and even lane, both of you will just farm.
Kayn
Lmao he sucks top, just **** on him fam. Unless he somehow gets a really early darkin form, then just farm.
Kennen
Another farm lane, wait for jungler and roam thats about it
Kled
Another champ up there as the biggest counter to Garen, his w damage is insane, he stops your healing with his q, if you get him off skarrl it still doesn't really help, your best bet is to keep on q and eing him down, then go in to kill him, but he basically out damages you and is still really tanky.
Malphite
Both of you wont die, just hope for a kill early and roam.
Maokai
A bit like malph, but its far easier to kill him because he doesn't get a **** load of free armor like malph does.
Mordekaiser
Just poke away his shield, then go in. Wait for black cleaver then you'll be fine against him, especially if he goes tank.
Nasus
Early you **** on him, whenever he goes to stack just e all over him and q, although later on he will just destroy you as he does with everyone
Pantheon
This actually isn't as bad as what you'd probably think, max your e and if hes an idiot and stuns you, then aa him then q him for a **** tonne of dmg. He also falls off really hard later on as well so if you beat him you'll be loving life.
Poppy
Really easy, she cant really do anything to stop you, her ult can meme you a bit, but apart from that its a really easy going lane.
Renekton
Yeah nah, i dont like renekton, his stun keeps you there for long enough to get his damage off without you being able to do anything, he then rinse and repeats that over and over again. Just farm under turret and roam.
Riven
If you can beat her to your first item you win. Hopefully get a kill pre 6 then just farm till you get black cleaver. If its a good riv then well, hope for the best I suppose.
Rumble
This ain't great either he constantly stops your passive, has a good amount of damage and is really hard to get onto thanks to his slow. Just wait for him to get too much heat then engage.
Shen
Another easy lane, just watch out for his early q damage, but apart from that its pretty easy going.
Singed
I don't know, if he proxies then don't follow him (of course) just farm your self. But if he is in lane then just wait for black cleaver as well, and go in for short trades as well.
Sion
Another tank, another easy lane. Just keep harrasing him and you'll **** on him easy.
Swain
Wait for ignite before you engage on him, or get executioners calling early. He can still be a pain with his q but thats about it. But you'll both probably not kill each other.
Teemo
Ahhhh little old satan, he ***** on you early, I'm not gonna lie. Max e then make sure you dont die too much, get bc then you can easily engage on him, he will most waste his blind when you run up to him, so e instead then after use your q. Should be easy after your second item.
Trundle
Because your not building tanky, his ult isnt that good for him. This is a bit like a darius lane, just q and e and back out after thunderlords procs, dont extend fights cos he will beat you.
Tryndamere
Early he wins, and late he wins. So just do small trades and make him waste his ult. After that go back in ad finish the job if hes low enough.
Urgot
Pretty easy, he wont have enough damage early on, and he also wont be tanky enough, so just harass then go all in.
Wukong
Max e. When he goes for his own trade follow him and do your own. As hes used everything and youll probably have more damage than him, it'll be a breeze.
Yasuo
Really easy, you out damage him early, can meme his potential ult chances with your q, and he cant really get away from you once your on him. Late game though, he wins.
Yorick
Early you'll win if you don't get trapped by his w with ghouls on you, otherwise prepare to stay back and lose lane, he out damages you if he gets his tri first and can be a real pain with his maiden.
Hello readers and welcome to my full lethality Garen guide. Im a G4 recently turned Garen main.
This build works from bronze to at least gold, ill update to see if it works in plat.
Now straight up your probably wondering why on earth you would ever play Garen as full lethality and not tank, and i have a few reasons for that. Tank Garen is ****, it is the worse version of Darius, who can just get Black Cleaver and go full tank and still be a god. Garen doesn't go so well in my opinion, he is worse than a normal tank like Cho'gath, but still do less damage then a Jax for example. Meaning hes in this hole of being meta slave of tanks.
But if you go full lethality, then boy, you are gonna have a great time. Any immobile adc, mage or support is gonna be begging for your mercy, but you just demacia over their *** until they either ff, say your **** at the game for using a "****ty build" or just get their nexus and win. Also with your e now shredding even more armor, its even more lit.
Runes
Runes
I go lethality marks and quints, health per level seals and mr glyphs.
The extra health is very nice, and the mr compensates for the no mr your gonna buy during the game.
Masteries
Masteries
Basically everything that gives you extra damage in both trees, but mainly you just want thunderlords.
Items
Items
Black cleaver, duskblade, Youmuus, mortal and edge of night all give you that spicy lethality and armor pen. Then the sweet dead mans gives you some health, move speed and armor.
Skill Sequence
Skill Sequence
I personally prefer maxing q for some reason in most cases, i know im different but it works for me so sue me. Then e of course and your ult at 6/11/16 then your w last.
Spells
Spells
Always go flash, i dont have explain why i hope.
Ignite is always better, it sucks when the opponent lives on less than 100 health.
Also if your team complains enough chuck on teleport so they don't complain too much at your ***.
Pros / Cons
Pros / Cons
Pros
High damage at all stages
Still tanky af with only one tank item
DEMACIA!!!!!!
I'd probs bang Garen and im a male
Manly
Wants to smash kat so thats a bonus
Cons
If he gets super behind then you are practically forced to play tank
Tank sucks
At this point Jax is super popular and so is Cho, the 2 things i hate seeing
Kat wont smash a ****ty Garen
Creeping / Jungling
Creeping / Jungling
Pretty simple, if the other laner sucks at farming under turret push the wave with your e. Otherwise just last hit.
Jungle Garen is also broken af, don't play it there either, get duskblade first and mobis, then go black cleaver. Once you get mobis gank bot or the villian with ms and duskblade your damage is insane. Your silence stops their flashes and if you have a morg, leo, ali, blitz even its at least one kill your gonna get if not 2.
Also always ks if possible.
Team Work
Team Work
Legit pick off one of them in the jungle which you easily do, then either stay there or push a lane. Garen doesn't team fight, hes too manly for that ****.
