Alright so, I have a question for you guys. How effective is this build for Garen?

I know CInder Hulk is ridiculous but it's pretty insane on Garen with some other items.

Skirmishers Sabre Cinderhulk, Randuin's Omen, Spirit Visage, Warmog's, Merc Treads/ Ninja Tabi, Black Cleaver.

The Challenging Smite lowers the enemies DPS aginst you by mitigating their damage while at the same time boosting yours with true damage, which starts to make up for the damage deficit you run while playing Garen.

Randuins needs no explanation for why it's good, especially with the passive on CInderhulk and Garens W basically boosting every aspect of this item. Plus the active is nice.

Spirit Visage again almost needs no explanation, Health, Magic Resist, Cool Down, and it's passive makes Garen's Healing Passive even more powerful than normal and with a Healing Potion you can recover about 19 Health a second.

Warmogs needs no mention for it's place.

Merc Treads or Ninja Tabi depending on team comp.

Black Cleaver because of how it synergizes with basically everything in this build. More Health which is always good, more CDR which helps Garen to spam his abilities more (Especially Q and W to maximize survivability) as well as a passive that like the Challenging Smite helps to make up for Garens Damage defecit by the way of reducing enemy armor and giving a small amount of AD. Plus Rage is a decent passive.

Thoughts? I know this is just a very slight variation, or perhaps no variation on standard Tank Garen but I would like the opinons of some people who probably know more than me.
