They did it because the scaling now includes base AD. So his 111 base AD at lv 18 is included.

Since it scales by 30% less, and 10/3 is the opposite of that, it takes something like 330 bonus AD for the changed to be a dmg nerf. At least, it WOULD if only the scalings had changed. In reality it is only about 150 AD until Garen's dmg starts falling off. A stupid change, it is like they want Tank Garen...

Full build Garen DOES hit you for about 700 each second, but not half second. Let me do a base dmg comparasin at lv18:

Old- 210

New- 120 + 111*1.1 = 120 + 111 + 11 = 242 base dmg. It was a necessary nerf, if you will.
