Um... What are you taking then from his kit? Getting more power for the sake of it while not tuning down any of his strengths is basically just needless buffing for a champion that is actually fairly balanced.

Garen is fine as a pick. You play him for his early game dominance and you get to be aggressive in teamfights thanks to his tankyness. You wont be killing much late game but you shouldn't really let it get there.

Plus his damage is definitely not low if you pick the right targets. Supports, ADCs, mages and assassins still get destroyed by judgement with even just one crit.
