User blog comment:NicknameMy/My Garen buff, what and why?/@comment-24.142.58.74-20120331014944

Uhhh. Does no one get aegis at all on him, really? It's insanely good for the cost mid game, and you can still transition into fratma FoN/Maw with less of a bump because of it. Also, Ghostblade->Brutalizer. If you're fed enough, do it. The apen and CDR stack because they're different items. Beyond item consideration, Garen's in a fine spot scaling wise, bumping up his basic ability/passive cooldowns by 2s, maybe more on W, is all you really need to do. Being able to trade more often would be enough of a buff to anyone.
