r/GarenMains

Hey guys currently in silver I’m somewhat new to league still I feel like. I have a lot of games played but it’s mainly top as Garen. I really enjoy playing him never getting bored but as of lately it seems like he’s pretty pick or ban. Not sure of who else to take a I interest in. Wondering what all the other garen otp’s will lean to

I am thinking of having fun with Garen. I would like to do somenthing like the old days with 1k q damage garen at the same time with tanking, healing and good split push with demolish. (good old days). I do not really know abot the new season meta. What should I build for garen if I´m gonna use GRASP?

Title, and also, what's his best build? runes and items

yeah, cleaver was kinda ass even without the nerf... one of the lowest winrate items in the entire game

why not give that internal cooldown to ranged users? fucking over an entire class for some fotm ranged abusers is a terrible way to proceed about this, specially considering how underperforming the item is in almost all of its intended users (heck, most bruisers nowdays opt for grudge instead of cleaver because of how weak it feels). This item was intended at the end of the day for melee bruisers

Riot would rather fix a shit item than:

Fix it on a champ that insta stacks it from 700 range (Senna)
Fix it on a champ that insta stacks it from 1 ability and rune interaction (Small there)
Fix it on a champ that fully stacks it in a single autoattack (Graves)

But yeah, lets make its intended users (Aatrox, Fiora, Darius, Pantheon, Zaahen, Garen, Sett, Riven, Camille, Vi, J4, Hecarim, etc, etc, etc) all suffer because of range abusers

Many melee champs that insta stack it or stack it quickly will lose a ton of power (and none of those is particularly powerful in the meta RN, maybe only Garen and Pantheon)

While we're at it lets nerf trinity too to keep Ezreal on check

I'm bored and sometimes it's fun to make shit fantastic builds

I have been struggling whenever I faced Sion on top lane. He never seems to care about fighting and would start doing proxy and roaming around. If my jungle/mid doesn't gank Sion will always outgold me and the gap gradually becomes bigger over time. And when it comes to team combat he's just more mobile than me so I can't take advantage of that.

I tried building more damage items so I can clear minions faster and roam around to control the map but it just doesn't have the impact I need. So most of the time I have to wait for my teammates to make a difference and play well in team fights to win. I myself never seem to be able to outplay him in laning phase.

What would you guys do to counter Sion?

I fell in love with garen during the tank mets where you could have a great time making him ultra tanky and still do great
