Garen's lack of an appearance at worlds is much more to do with how his kit doesn't really bring much to a competitive team. He has tankiness, damage and a 1.5 sec silence, but against the Darius's and Fioras being played every game he wouldn't stand a chance. I would have liked to see him played against Riven who was picked quite a few times, but clearly the teams hadn't added Garen to any of their compositions.

As far as soloqueue goes I think Garen is in a fairly good place right now. A decent player will get through laning, be quite tanky, spin on peoples faces and execute the villain. I don't think Garen being able to do more than that would be justified given how easy he is to play.
