And still most people can't use him effectively. Not using his W to block burst and CC with it's initial 60% increased tenacity happens regularly. Or abusing hit-and-run tactics because of his regen. Also chasing to ult squishies instead of the tank/juggernaut that has a mark on them. If a tanky character has Garen's mark - go for them. At just below their half HP, if you have level 2+  R, they will most likely die. This is especially important against tanks - you are potentially one of the biggest tank shredders if they have the misfortune of getting that mark on themselves. Being able to kill just about anyone at half HP, your targets should always be marks, or at least - you should always be trying to chase those marks. Sounds stupid? Why chase the tank when the carries behind them are the real problem? The tank isn't going to run away from you - in fact most will engage you directly and before they know it, you've blown them up and are moving on to the squishies they were supposed to protect.

He is basic, that is without doubt. He IS effective, though. And it's fucking hilarious watching people rage over losing to a Garen cause most people consider themselves above that. It's especially funny when people who play Renekton, Jax and Illaoi call him brainless.
