I can't really agree with your build. Garen built like a tank just isn't threatening at all. The silence isn't enough to warrant much fear, the spin really doesnt do enough to make any intelligent squishy fret, and the ult....well, still useful, but is generally used to finish off an enemy, and tank garen doesnt really need kills.

Building a sort of AD/Off-tank Garen seems to work better. You need the survivability (a la courage, sunfire, etc) to stick around but you really need the damage to be a threat at all.

I really wish he could be good as tank Garen, but the reality is that he is missing everything a tank needs (outside of beefiness) to be effective. It may work in low level games, but practically anything at level 30 it proves to be useless as you are basically just a brick spinning in circles while the other team destroys the rest of your team.
