Garen is a bad one trick pony. His whirlwind is op at the beginning of the game but during late game it does nearly no damage. His ult it situationally good against tanky teams but his ability to chase isn't good enough to garen-tee his ult all the time.

Also my "tier" list is not really a gauge of how strong an individual champion is but a combination of criteria that i feel rates how strong of a pick or ban a champion would be.

The criteria was:
1) ease of use
2) strength of champion over the course of an entire game
3) strength and uniqueness of their spell kit
4) difficulty to play against
5) necessity of support to be effective

I think a lot of people have something 'personal' against you. Hmm.

I actually said that you should always take smite as chogath, then said that a better route is this and this, and then gave that video. If he takes advice and does it faster, it's good. It's also good for everyone who followed his guide and then figured out that that way is faster. What are you asking me to do? What have you done to help anyone? Nothing. Who are you, even? I actually do help and try to help many people despite being an asshole. You on the other hand just appear out of nowhere and... what?

EDIT: Strangely enough Garen is quite popular at higher elos and he has an amazing early game combined with aggressive and threatening tanking. I think he's a solid pick.

Also, what about a champion's synergy with one or more champs in the tier list? Should that affect their 'competitive viability' also?

The more champions a certain champion has synergy with the more viable + higher in the tier list they are. For instance, Taric has loads of synergy with almost anything that attacks and loses health, so he's really high. Janna has synergy with many popular picks so she's high. Teemo when used to counter a Tryndamere/Tristana/Ashe kind of a lineup gains a lot of viability as a pick but seeing as most teams don't really run many DPS carries at all, his viability is kind of low. If the metagame shifts into a more dps-carry oriented playstyle, his viability goes up and so on. His problem is that he's a hard counter to something that's not all that popular and amazing(dps carries), and it generally is a waste to get him. Kind of like Veigar, it's normally a waste to get him instead of getting some other mage, but if they have many casters he becomes really strong.


EDIT: The highest-elo Garen users I know, Chauster and Sabertiger, are a combined 43 wins 2 losses in Ranked mode with Garen. I know that's a small sample, but I really think he's a good and viable champion.

Garen is a snowball pick and requires a strong team to support him. He's not going to carry but its not impossible to win with him. If you're playing in a lane against a bunch of idiots that don't know how to shut down garen then you'll probably win. I think he's just as effective as eve tbh.

eve is bad because she is countered by oracles. When a 400 gold item counters a champ, you don't play it. Garen has a 4 hour long silence and I think hes a pretty good tanky damage soak.

Yet to see 96% winrate in ranked with Eve.

Yep many people do, but him and HazMat are the most obvious ones because I totally hurt their feelings one time. A prime example is this HazMat poll right here, it's totally obvious there'll be a million no's. Just read back my post and count how many times I've helped someone who asked a question about something, for instance. Most high-level players will hate me because I question them since I don't take anything for granted and most new people will hate me because it seems to be the "in" thing to do and since they mostly follow the high-tier players' opinions.

Personally I'll vote no in the poll, but if you yourself haven't written newsposts for teamliquid, I'd like you to look at the mirror before you vote no.

There could be some that don't hate you but get tired of when you argue for or against certain things after the facts have been laid out against said opinion(though obviously you aren't the only one who has done that)

I guess to start off, yes I agree with smite for jungling route and sniping random buffs/dragon. I rather have feast saved should I be stealing buff/dragon from an enemy standing right there. Then again, I'm also a terribad Cho, so what do I know?

Oh look, the cavalry has arrived. Yippee~


Oh man, Messiah is so hilarious. He's semi-quit and just trashtalks Grackis on the stream and Grackis gets so irritated. Messiah is my favorite Taric-player by the way, really liked his Taric back when he played.

I like Shikyo because he reminds me of Dr. Mundo <3

I really like your tier list for the most part, Phrost. I feel like Alistar should be tier B. Akali seems like tier D material on account of her being Xin Zhao without the tankiness or slow, but I don't know much about Akali. Ryze could be tier C, but again it's all subjective. Kog'maw might deserve to be higher, but I see him so rarely that it's hard to really know. Why exactly is Kennen tier D? He's a huge skill requirement for underwhelming results, but I think he has his own niche in terms of reliable repeatable mass stunning. Finally, Mundo should be tier MUNDO. Mundo.
