To people that hate tank garen with a passion:

a while ago tank Garen was the only viable build b/c judgement scaled with 70% of his total attack damage. Now judgement scales with 140% of his bonus attack damage, the tank Garen build is a lot less viable han he used to be.

People who build Garen tank are either people who were used to play tank Garen, or people who simply followed the recommended build.

Off-tank Garen is what I build, with IE, atmogs, Last Whisper and defensive items depending on the enemy. Pure AD Garen with 0 defensive items will get you killed instantly after mid game against any competent enemy team, so please explain to me how pure AD is more viable than off-tank.
