He used to be viable. Now he is just outclassed by many bruisers. And believe me, it saddens me to admit it. I already started to play J4 and Riven over him, and now that Darius is coming out, I'll probable never play Garen again unless they buff/rework him.

Moreover, it has always been kinda hard to build him properly, and now it has become even harder because of atma's nerf (which is significant, despite what I can read on this wiki).
