Garen isn't spectacular mid to late game, which is his main problem right now. Your best bet is to rush, then build tanky, going into either a full tank build if your team needs a tanky frontliner, or a bruiser build if your team already has a tank. Garen's mainly made to engage: run up to the enemy, try to silence their spellcaster and then try to get in as much damage as you can. If you don't feel like you can be an effective frontliner, you can also stay next to your own squishies and peel for them if an assassin comes up to burst them down. Garen's base damage is pretty good even with a full tank build, which will also make you extremely difficult to kill, so if you can get the enemy's attention you can keep them occupied for a long time.
