>So, if the enemy team is very tanky, sell Brutalizer and make a Last Whisper?

It really depends on the enemy team comp and game situation. If there is a squishy ranged champ that is being a nuisance and teamfights are basically a bunch of tanky dudes standing in front of the carry and a support keeping him alive, then get ghostblade. Garen will have trouble with most carries that can run away from him. Ghost blade active + ghost + decisive strike speed boost, with courage on will allow him to dive on top of the enemy carry,silence them and then judgement them in the face. Count your 2.5 second silence, after around 2 seconds of judgement you can end it early be pressing E again pop your ULT on them and kill them while the silence is still active, DON'T let them flash away!

If the teamfights are a bunch of tanky dudes wailing on each other for 60 seconds then get the last whisper.

Frozen mallet in my opinion is bad on Garen, it is too expensive and garen will hardly be autoattacking or kiting. In most teamfights he will be spamming abilities instead of autoattacks. No phantom dancer either since garen wont be utilizing the attack speed.

The following should be prioritized on Garen

1. Movement speed/CC reduction

Garen can't do anything if he can't get close enough! HIGHLY reccomended that you use the 3 move speed quints for Garen especially if you plan on maining him.

2.Survivability (Health/armor/Mr)

Garen needs to be tanky enough so that he can get close enough and deal damage and survive. Judgement deals damage over 3 seconds.

3.Armor Pen

Garen plays similar to a physical mage so armor counters him hard similar to Ezreal, Pantheon and urgot.

4.Damage

Garen needs to be able to do damage, garen needs to deal enough damage so that enemies try to avoid standing in his judgement.

5.Crit chance

Crit chance only the BONUS as crits. What does this mean? that a garen with 6 avarice blades will deal the same amount of damage as a garen with no items. The infinity edge should only come in endgame after you picked up that atmas and last whisper/ghostblade and are durable enough.
