Playstyle Laning phase, come out of the brush to do the Q + E combo. Harass whenever possible, otherwise use Q to maximize your last hitting. For an early lane kill, Ghost + Q + E + Ignite, finish with ulti.
Late game, use brushes tactically. Q for silencing your target, then team focus fire. Pop W if you draw aggro. While primarily used offensively, E does reduces debuff duration, so retreat using it when necessary.
After you max E, alternate between Q and W. W gains Armor/MR based on minion kills. So it’s not ideal to max this last. Be aware of when your Armor/MR gains are near max for that skill level then invest another point into W whenever needed. W is even more essential now that Garen’s survivability has taken a big hit over the last two patches.

dodge seals #1 on Garen IMO. Boots -> Sunfire -> Mercs -> LW/Atma's/FoN is legit though. I still hate mallet on Garen and would rather get omen.

has anyone noticed garen punches people as one of his attack animations?

Judging from the stats, how come Garen makes it to T1 on virtually every list? He doesn't really have anything to close the gap, no imba burst and no CC/Taunt. What makes Garen so much better of a tanky dps than let's say Xin Zhao/Olaf?
|
wut? current lists put Garen at shit tier.
EDIT: he used to be high because he hit like a truck without any items that did damage so he could deal insane sustained deeps while being literally impossible to kill.
|
And it was a time when tanks were very prevelant and his ultimate is a lot better when the opponent has more hp (and thus has more hp missing).
Fyi Garen is still almost impossible to kill
|
Mogwai, for as far as I could find, Elementz and Reginald both put him on T1. What would you guys say is the strongest melee dps in the game right now? Xin Zhao? Or just strongest all round.

Not Garen, He's not even really a dps.
Xin Zhao, Warwick, Akali, and Irelia are probably the strongest melee dps. I've seen Master Yi be good as of late but hes really a lot easier to kill than the other 4.
Also I don't count pantheon really as a melee dps, he plays more like a melee mage.
|
I guess I deserve to be trolled, I have no idea where I read that. Is Akali really that viable? She seems so much like a pub stomper, but she sure was fun as hell to play. Also, what makes her jump from T1 in solo queue to T3 in Draft Mode? She doesn't seem like an instaban.

Akali is Melee DPS is Phrost's book but Panthoen isn't. DERP
Irelia is probably better than Xin in good hands (read: Atlanta) aand they're the top 2 guys who are undoubtably Melee DPS IMO.

Pantheon doesn't fit what one would expect out of a melee dps because hes more about bursting someone down in his stun or keeping his distance and Qing them to death.
I duno you can call Pantheon a melee dps too but it just doesnt feel the same because he sucks at chasing people when his stun is on CD.

unlike akali, who's awesome at it when she's out of Essence of Shadows. Or Xin when Charge is on CD. Or Irelia when Bladesurge is on CD.
Most Melee Deep have silly burst, Pantheon's may be higher than most, but Akali's burst is wtf bbq and she's an assassin Mage along the same lines of Kat or LeBlanc more than a Melee Deeps like Xin or Irelia by all accounts.

Do people still think Garen is viable top? Played him vs Irelia the other day and crushed her, sure his late game makes him basically a blob of hp but his damage early/mid is still crazy good, and he is still damn hard to kill.
I'd probably only play him vs a few select tops as he is still an average champ, but was wondering what the better players on here have to say.
