How is jungle garen now that they buffed his spin vs minons? He has no CC other than silence but he's fast as fuck, you could build him with some early damage in the jungle too with no repercussions.
In Hungry Hungry Hippos there are no such constraints—one can constantly attempt to collect marbles with one’s hippo, limited only by one’s hippo-levering capabilities.

If you were to get an offensive item on Garen, maybe BTRK is good ? I remember reading that for bruisers it was more cost-efficient than a BT.
The lifesteal might be a waste tho, considering Garen's passive.

Also Garen's spin adds up Cleaver's passive like Wukong's ult does right ? It seems interesting.


No, the one damage item Garen needs is LW. Get tanky first. If we're talking ideal builds, that is.


Wouldn't black cleaver be like... Way better? For several reasons - it's probably better damage against the targets that matter most (ADC/AP mid) who don't have a lot of armour, as well as having one of them on the team is fantastic for your AD's dmg late game so they can have the stacks + their own LW... and Garen is a pretty good candidate for applying those stacks, because his spin will incidently hit those targets even if you're trying to get someone else as the primary, or you can hit multiple close together bruisers with the express purpose of applying those stacks. Just seems like a way better item for Garen... Especially given that it builds out of a brut, which you can get early and hold onto until you want that one dmg item finished. Early brut + doran's helps Garen snowball a lane pretty hard and his dmg with just those is ridiculous, which facilitates going tanky well.

BC has 5 stacks and garens only physical burst is his Q and E which is 7 total hits. That means you get 2 ticks of spin that benefit from the full 25% armour reduction and then unless you're training targets with just your auto hits in teamfights (lol) BC stacks will run out before your CDs are up

the only reason to ever get BC is to focus tanks down lategame with your ad
brutalizer is still good though

LW is 40% all the time, BC is an average of like 10% or so for garen. Trash.
A large percentage of garens burst is his R and ignite anyway, you don't need to worry about building AD too much.

You won't be hitting tanks when you'r diving squishies, those lines are far enough apart. If you want to focus tanks in teamfights you can get BC but untl your ADs damage is far higher than yours (LATEGAME) LW will still probably outdamage your original Q and E and then you'll get him lower faster to ult him ASAP instead of waiting another 9 seconds for your next E.

Let me know how much your LW helps your AD carry/jungle in teamfights. BC spin to win is a guaranteed aoe armor shred on basically everyone on the enemy team, which boosts your teams teamfight damage way more than a LW could ever dream of. also your ult does magic damage and gives zero shits about armor pen. You're waiting for your team to burst people low enough to DEMACIA!

If your ADCarry autos anyone even once after you've thrown around 2-5 stacks on everyone, you're #winning

yeah because everyone sits right next to each other in teamfights right
if you want to focus tanks with your spells as I said you help your AD carry out with BC but LW helps you even more anyway and you're also assuming your jungle is an AD based guy who's also attacking the same tanks

why dont you just play wukong or pantheon if you want to play stack BC on tanks

Let me know how Garen works when you've actually played him. There's a difference between pure theorycraft and going in game and trying it. Try BC Garen and focus tanks, then try LW Garen and focus whoever the fuck you want. I promise LW is better. Not like you're spinning on 5 of them all the time.

Q poke keeps his passive out of comission and once jarvan hits his combo he just auto attacks garen with an armor debuff that scales better with garens resist passive and can peel him a ton and with nearly no effort late game with a passive that's going to wreck the warmog stacking garens.

That sounds pretty good in theory, but as Jarvan you want to q-e-auto-retreat into people to win trades to then all in them. You can't do this against Garen as he will w your combo and retaliate using q and e. You cant simply auto attack Garen as his spin deals way too much damage early. Garen is also manaless and has built in sustain. I can't see Jarvan winning this lane.

Mid and late game are different stories, as both possess good diving potential mid game, but turn into different roles late. Jarvan is a pretty decent peeler whereas Garen is just an annoying damage soaker.

q poke is hard as shit to hit if he's trying to dodge it and he can just chug a few pots and farm at tower
no way jarvans got the burst to really beat a garen in lane but if you play well you can probably get the lead, but you prolly run oom too fast. Garen can regen in a brush if he needs to anyways

if you wanna farm against garen any hero can do that because garens e sucks pretty hard now until level 9

God you guys make everything sound OP.

Next it's gonna be Karma so OP and strong at utility since her shield does AoE damage and is up all the time and she heals her whole team when they get harassed down.

This is true karma is really strong with some bruisers but she doesn't do enough damage to tanky teams

If a champion doesnt feel batshit insane op when you're playing it and you're doing well its time to play something else

It's amazing what happens when you open up your mind to new ideas. You'll be surprised a lot. Keep your head down and ignoring everything, and you'll be surprised by shit that works. It's ok, some of us can try shit out and find it strong while others have to wait for a pro to do it. As long as you're having fun, that's all that matters.

Q poke is easy as shit to hit have you ever played jarvan? If he hides in the bush you can just q the bush and abuse the massive hitbox on it. You can't just hide somewhere when someone knows that you are hiding there. Q pokeing is crazy cheap on mana ad garen has no ranged response that isn't a hevily telegraphed charge that doesn't last very long if you are e maxing. Just wait for garen to get low and then combo onto him and kill him. Garen powercurves harder then him a lot after 6 until you get into teamfights. I've played this lane a few times and this is how it works out for me at least.

The reason why bc garen is better then lw garen is beacuse it means that garen is getting a bruta in lane and relying on that for his damage while he builds tank.

"Have I ever played jarvan"
Are you serious? you think I just say a spell is easy to dodge when I don't know how it works? Jarvans Q is long and thin, if you're in the line of fire you just have dodge to the side if you expect it. You won't dodge all of them but if you dodge 50% of them and have a few potions you should be fine.

I'm not saying garen beats jarvan, but he can just start cloth +5 and pay attention and he'll be just about fine. Jarvans Q will hit creeps so theres no easy way to freeze the lane even if you can kill him if he stays in the middle.


The reason why bc garen is better then lw garen is beacuse it means that garen is getting a bruta in lane and relying on that for his damage while he builds tank.

Have you been reading this thread at all? I said you get brutalizer, but you don't finish BC until maybe last item or something, you pick up LW after a tank item or two if they are getting too tanky because it drastically improves your damage output greater than any other item. Often you skip brutalizer but it's a bad buy against anyone buying a lot of armour in lane sunfire is a much better option. Against something like jarvan you'd go sunfire, for example.

Why don't people play Malzahar more? His damage is unbelievable. Not to mention a 3 second silence wall and a % max health (especially good in this health stacking meta) AoE DoT spell. And the voidlings harass so easily/well.

I have never played as Malz, but playing against him was always a bitch. So what is the reason you don't see him in competitive play? Does he show up often in soloq?

Q hard to hit, ult hard to use, lacks mobility. Yes, he's strong, people hate dealing with those 3 things though.
