Watching HotShotGG go 16-1 vs team AoN etc really makes me wonder why Southlight and co. think that he's not all that good.

HotShot and the Koreans are the cream of the crop in the NA servers, there's no denying that. What turns people off from HotShot is that he'll have bad games and doesn't take blame for them. His Nidalee is bar none, the best out there. There is a big ass gap between his Nid and whoever you think is second best Nid. In a 5v5 setting, Nid is typically not a ban worthy champion and if you snipe his Nidalee, you're giving grandjudge or Chauster something imba.

People tell me to play DPS Garen instead of Tank Garen because Tank Garen's damage is absolutely horrible. I feel like the problem there is that I could be playing Xin Zhao instead, who seems like he does everything Garen does in terms of damage but exponentially better.. I just want to play Garen and be effective at something. I'm asking your opinions because I feel like looking at the LoL forums for advice about Garen is like looking at the bnet forums for advice about playing Zerg. I'm too low level to get runes and stuff, but is this a decent list of items for a tank Garen?

Start with regrowth pendant
Boots 1-> Merc treads (rushing a sunfire after boots 1 if you have the gold is also good)
Sunfire Cape
Force of Nature
Guardian Angel

Needs more HoGs.

Don't get FoN, it's pretty terrible (at least, if it's not your sixth item) against anything that's not 5 magic damage heroes.

The health gen is ridiculous on that item, why would you not get it as a tank? Maybe not first item, but 2nd or 3rd

EDIT: 40 hp regen + .35% of your max HP

I still think stacking Sunfires is the most effective thing on Garen. And yes on FoN if you need MR. The +MS and MR is great but the regen is fucking fantastic since it synergizes with Garen's own passive.

Only real DPS I'd get (especially at high elo) is Brutalizer early on. You get it not so much for the DPS but really for the CDR.

Merc Treads
Sunfire stack
Fon (and GA) if you really need the MR
Youmuu's is ok late game because of the active. You literally turn it on and gun for their DPS carry.

Edit: you asked for an item build, so Boots + 3 hp pots => Giant Belt => Merc Treads => Sunfire. You definitely need more HP early on since you're melee and you draw aggro. So at least one Sunfire is needed. From there, adapt your build according to their line up.
Early game, last hit with Q and harass with E.

That's what I've been saying. Mid vs HS nidalee (and lilballz udyr) was the worst experience in my LoL career. people don't understand how good it is but i've seen him rape the SHIT out of Maknoon's red-pot pantheon before he randomly switched to corki. i wish we had more bans lol, TF/ezreal/nidalee/udyr/kassadin for jiji/chauster/HS/ballz/judge premade haha.

god i log in to this game and log out 10 seconds later since i just have no motivation to play.

I watched that too, and he got fed a lot. Even he said he didn't even have to work for kills. Also, nobody said he wasn't good, it's just you seem to be the only person in this thread who worships him like a god.

no there were some discussions earlier in the thread(s) that implied his nidalee was anything short of amazing. honestly HS nidalee is very near the top of the list of scariest characters to face along with the ones i mentioned in my last reply (except maybe grandjudge kass since he's not as specialized as the others). also, LOL @ l0cust in top 5.

Hmm, don't laugh. You and I might not think much of L0cust alone but his 5s team is way solid. It's definitely up there with AoN and CLG.

hi cow :3

Also, I just played a game were I was veigar and the opposing team had a veigar too.

Most fights were decided based on which of us could ult the other one first lol, and then abuse nuking the other team to hell. (no real DPS on either team).

Pretty fun.
