Pure DPS Garen is viable. Even if you don't invest in any defensive items, you'll still be as durable or more durable than the majority of the cast depending on whether or not they invest in armor. Garen hits 100 base Armor and MR easily through runes and his Courage Passive alone. And spin cannot be stopped by CC, so flash Q E is extremely devastating in teamfights. And seriously Garen's damage isn't good? Garen is one of the top 3 physical damage characters in the game. He DESTROYS squishy characters in like 2 seconds after acquiring an infinity edge. Tanky characters can be nuked for about 40-50% of their health after he acquires last whisper. Anyhow the point is Garen's damage is seriously seriously good ever since spin scales at 1.4 bonus attack damage.
