Not really, Garen's recent tweaks prevented him from falling into the same problems as Udyr. For example, his slow removal was removed from Judgement and moved to Decisive Strike. Now you don't have to blow your main damage ability to get rid of slows; in fact this is better because Decisive Strike doesn't just remove slows, it adds speed at the same time. Trying to engage and get hit by a slow? Press Q and close the gap. Trying to escape while slowed? Press Q and sprint away. As for dash abilities, that's not a big deal because you can't dash while silenced (you can dash before Garen hits you, but his Q usually has a shorter cooldown than any escape ability so he'll come at you again before your dash is back up)

And his W gained 30% CC reduction during the duration, too.
