Ist Garen good rn?
Hey fellow Spin-to-Win enjoyers,
I’ve been away from League for a pretty long break, but the itch is back and I’m looking to grind my way back up to Diamond. Before my hiatus, Garen was one of my main comfort picks, and I’d love to use him for the climb.
Since I haven't kept up with the recent bin patches and systemic balance changes, I wanted to check in with the experts here:
How is Garen looking right now? Is he in a good spot to consistently carry and impact the map in high Platinum / Emerald to push into Diamond?
What is the definitive build path these days? Are we still auto-rushing Stridebreaker into Phantom Dancer, or have things shifted? What do the situational items look like?
What are the go-to rune setups? Is standard Conqueror still the king, or are people running alternative setups (like Stormraider's / Phase Rush variants) depending on the matchup?
