Garen is very easy and straightforward, that makes him predictable and his main counter is being Outplayed, it's as simple as that, that's why he is not played at a competitive level and will most likely stay that way, also his killing potential goes down when his ult is not available which can be daunting to estimate when it's time to cast it to maximize it's damage and has such a high cooldown compared to better executes other bruisers have, he is a champion you use because you enjoy him and want to have fun, not because he outrades/outsustains/outscales every other bruiser in the game, in paper he can look pretty intimidating but he is held back because despite being pretty tanky, he can't leapfrog across the field as most top tier bruisers/assassins do nowadays.
