It's funny you say that, Vahldeer, because I've been thinking about building more tanky on Garen, which is something I'd never, ever do.

Bottom line is, I'm low, and games don't last long enough for me to build a 13k gold build.

I've always felt Garen did better with multiple mid-tier items rather than one or two big items until late game, too.

I've been considering a Triforce/Guardian Angel build on him. Triforce may not be the most gold efficient item on Garen, but it's a combined offensive/defensive item that includes Phage and synergizes with his Q, and that IS very efficient.

So in short, I'm considering building him more like Jarvan now.
