I have a friend with Dyslexia. He uses a spellchecker on his browser, and he puts in his own terms as well. Not an excuse.

Where is Damacia located on Runeterra? Is it nearby Demacia, or a little further up North?

-1 because spelled 'Demacia' wrongly.

Wrong runes. Correct runes for Garen should be armor pen reds and either flat AD or movement speed quints.

Wrong masteries. Correct masteries should be 9/21/0.

Also, you left out one crucial defensive item - Spirit Visage, which is a great MR item for Garen because it boosts his regen.

Thank you for your reply, soo many people watching no one writing. So I really apreciate your writing.

At first I don't use barrier I only state it is a valid spell to use. I agree others are better suited for Garen. Exhaust and Ghost are a bit wasted on Garen since he's speedy enough to catch up as it is.

Secondly the way you are describing Garen is more as a bruiser and not tanky at all. If you are the main tank in the team you will need this sustain. With this build it's Garens role to be an agressive tank. Dealing a lot off damage but mostely get assist rather then getting kills

I will add a section for teemo and a section on how i play this champ.

But the main role is being Tank and not an ADC 3k hp 100 armor/mr is just too easy to kill.

Well, respect for writing a guide after a couple of months playing the game :) I was thinking about it and decided that I'm rather unexperienced to dare it :)

Not gonna get into details and rate the guide, couse it must be improved a lot, but here some points I don't like/agree with:

- Health quint not needed when starting with Doran's Shield
- Decisive Strike is better to put the first point into, you dont really do much dmg with judgement early on
- Replace Teleport and Barrier with Exhaust and Ghost. Teleport can be useful, but is very situational and since Garen should have high MS it is not really necessary to waste the spell slot. Barrier is wasted on Garen, he is tanky enough and has enough sustain to survive early on. Late game the spell becomes useless.
- I wouldn't start with Dorans Shield normally, Garen is an aggressive champion and has to be played that way. I still prefer boots or Dorans Blade. The runes must be adjusted though.
- Buld is way too tanky, more dmg is better, because you should be focused later and not be ignored. Garen can still perform good with less defensive items.
- Pro's and Cons to the beginning of the guide
- Playing vs Teemo section quite out of context, attach tactics vs other champions or delete it
- Since you build him so deffensive, write how to play him well, because I actually don't know how to play Garen deffensive early on, he is just not the champion for that playstyle, imho.

...those are just a few points that cought my eye, will check the guide later for more ;)
