Unicorn Twinkle : You Obviously don't know what you are talking about, I'll just ignore your post. There are not many items that suit Garen in this game, and Atma is probably one of the most important and if you do not build it you are clearly doing it wrong. I have already exposed my opinion a billion times about how I play Garen: It was already hard to play him against decent opponents, now it's just becoming impossible.

There is a reason why he is never picked by pros. Last time I saw one play Garen, it was Wickd like one year ago.

Even if one disagrees with my opinion about atma's nerf rendering him useless, I also want to point out that the upcoming champion, Hecarim, bears similitude with Garen's gameplay, but with waaaaaaay better initiation and disruptive power. Volibear and Riven already have better versions of his ulti in their kits, Shyvana is more mobile and versatile... Seriously, Garen might be one of my favourite champions, I see no reason to ply him over these ones.

I guess here comes the time where I must face the truth: Garen is joining the "non-viable-champs-club".
