I'd disagree on your opinion to be tank Garen - he can only silence a single target, be slowed before getting close enough to do so, and quite possible have his target use all their abilities on a desirable target (which would obviously not be Garen) before he silences them. As well, physical carries if targeted are fairly free to keep autoattacking his allies even while silenced. Lacking damage, his value in teamfights against opponents who've at least build a Chain Vest is small as they ignore him and put down his squishier allies.

AD Garen has more damage, but suffers heavily from how he'll can killed very fast against a competent team, quite likely before getting in close range to even damage anyone.
