Talk:Garen the Night of Demacia/@comment-3546228-20110816121312/@comment-4304118-20110816155950

You are a Tanky DPS, you role is to charge in screaming Demacia!!! trying to make the enemy team scatter trying to avoid your Spin, giving your carries the chance to move in and obliterate the enemy, Silencing and Executing a target with your Ult.

When you pick Garen, you know you won't be abble to carry a Game against decent players, the enemy team would have to keep feeding you to no avail and refuse to build armor, but with a great early game you can shut down a Snowballer, beef up, get some decent damage and draw away the attention from your AD/AP Carries, that's his role, if people learn to fear you early game, they will focus you instead of Ashe and Anivia frosting them to death.

Garen is very team dependent nowadays, he needs good carries and some hard CC, he is best following the charge of a real tank initiating, eating some damage and cc, dealing some themselves, like Tanky DPS are supposed to do.
