Views: 3682 Top Facts -49- Garen
|

Champion Overview:
Garen is a tanky Dps champion with a dominant early game that can completely shut out some champions. Garen is the original champions to possess Spin 2 Win which is his trademark skill. Garen likes brushes as if he is in them and the enemy walks in he can typically burst them down and kill them. Garen does have a falloff lategame, but the falloff can be somewhat mitigated IF Garen builds right. Garen is relatively low skill cap and can deliver good results (Even without runes) so he is the champion I would recommend for new players trying to learn top lane.
Skills Overview:

This will act as you sustain in lane. This passive is a threat of sorts as it states "Come in range and stop this or I will heal". This will force the enemy to either: A. Use a ranged move on you to knock it out, B. Come up and try a trade with you to turn it off, or C.Let you sustain your hp back.

An on next hit silence that does decent damage, the primary use of this skill is to use before you spin so that enemies cannot use their blink/escape ability to get away from you.

The passive on this skill is REALLY strong, it allows you to get 2 rune pages of flat armor and MRs worth of runes after just 50 cs. The active on this ability allows you to be able to build some damage items and still be extremely tanky in endgame teamfights.

SPIN 2 WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This skill is your main damage source, it acts as a cleanse from slows as well as your main damage tool. This skill can crit too, you will know when it does as you will hear a sound and a small sword will appear on the enemy.

This skill is your KO move. When an enemy gets below 40% hp use this and you will probably kill them. This skill does MORE DAMAGE based on the enemies hp missing so building hp DOES NOT counter this skill. It also does magic damage, so the enemy will not be able to build against it or they will be destroyed by your physical damage.
