That's just it, being hard to kill without any real CC options makes him a bruiser, off tank at best, like Mundo. He doesn't have the CC options to close down a team like Nautilus, Malphite or Sejuani have.

Granted Lee sin, Skarner and Wukong don't either. but they come closer to filling the role then Garen ever will, just because they DO have AoE CC.
