I think i'm not the only one who dislike the "unclear" mechanics of garen's ultimate.

All the ultimate related to execution got some easy way to calculate their damage :

- Darius : just check counter and fast calculate in mind the true damage done on max stack ( without need of deep math )

- Chogath : An usefull indicator .. and again easy math.

- Zed got a wonderfull indicator who not only tell your when your damage is enought to kill him ( taking in account resistance of enemy ) but also refresh itself on enemy heal

- Even champ with increase damage for % missing health got an easy way to calculate the damage one will do ( being that damage in function not of flat hp missing, but % hp and being that "hp tooltip of enemy " enought accurate to give you an indicator ).

Instead i got the feeling that Garen ulti lack this easy and fast way to estimate his damage, due to being an old champion.

So what about giving him some sort of interaction?

Could be ..

" Enemy inside vision of sight got a small indicator when garen is ulti is enought to kill them "

or even better a new mechanics that split ulti in 2 different component :

A first one who make him able to cast ulti on target, marking them for 4/6/8 seconds.

And a second one who make appear above the enemy head a mark when he suffered enought damage to allow garen to execute him, pressing R again "

The first part, during the 4/6/8 duration, could be used to add some buff to his mechanics, solo or team oriented.

Like ... "  When garen mark the enemy, all the allies around him on the moment of cast gain a burst of speed of 20% ,30%,40% for half the duration of the mark and a black shield base of a % of garen hp, able to soak cc until popped "  ( this way you make garen the a front line charger usefull even with his linear approach : he pop ulti, everyone follow up with a burst of speed and get one/two spell cc mitigation before the bonus shield goes down.. Full tank garen give more utility in form of more cc reduction in term of raw shield hp )

Or ... whatever kind of buff you could  imagine :D
