Courage useless? LOL

Both passive and active parts of the ability are great. The passive makes every defensive item that much greater on Garen. Also, it synergizes greatly with runes and masteries.

And the active part. You pop it and incoming damage and cc duration is greatly mitigated. A VERY underrated ability.

The only ones that you should fear of making the bonuses negligible is the adc carry of the enemy team (which is the main target of Garen anyway) and maybe the enemy ap carry (but not that much). But Garen aside from tanking well, also does pretty good damage.

And the shreds don't matter? Sure. Tell that to a Jayce who uses level 4 Hyper Charge with an Infinity Edge from Cannon (which applies 25% shred to armor and magic resist)- ouch...
