I feel its not garen that's weak but teleport. Teleporting bottom usually gives away turret first blood which is not worh imo.

I take smite on the top lane, start raptor/wolf with help from mid and talisman, and show up to lane with a powerful level advantage.

Pick up cinderhulk first item followed by serated dirk or giantsbelt + spectres

Final items might look like Cinderhulk, youmuus, randuin/deadman, spirit visage/thornmail, duskblade/malmortus

Also take flat arpen reds and you'll have 50 flat arpen, true damage to priority targets.

Going back to take the red buff and golem during laning phase will help you secure turret first blood faster than your bot lane can fail.
