Garen is a pubstomper. I regurarly play him and 99% of the time completely anihilate the guy I lane against as well as his team soon after level 6. Garen is THE snowball champion, but the problem is you pretty much HAVE to rape everyone early and mid game, and unless you perform really well during these stages you will be close to useless to your team late game due to the lack of utility this champion provides.

Simple steps to rule as Garen:


 * Go in for the kill in lane, don't try to play at "Who farms the most wins"


 * Proceed to roam/counterjungle and gank other lanes whenever you are left alone. Garen has superb ganking power early on due to his enormous damage. Mid lane is most of the time held by mages who are less likely to use armor seals/itemize for armor, thus making them "soft" targets. Killing them will help a whole lot your own mage. Beware however: these guys are often able to dish out tons of damage/CC to a single opponent, and unless you want to be made fun of, you should avoid going 1v1 against them with low hp.

These two rules result in a win almost every game I play Garen, but I have to admit that Garen becomes extremely hard to play when enemies are not total dumbasses.

In any case, never, EVER first pick Garen.
