I think if Garen gets ahead, Panth too has a bit of a hard time. Yeah, he has got the advantage of being able to poke from a distance, but if Garen gets to him, I think he would be toast. Panth´s passive does not block E damage, a swift autoattack before Q guarantees that Garen´s Q Damage gets through as well. And since the jump for the stun is a bit predictable, Garen can still activate his W and E before Panth lands, effectively doing damage while stunned.

I think it´s a skill matchup in terms of positioning in lane and knowing when you can trade and when you better stay behind those minions and farm.
