Yes it may be more interesting but at the same time it's kinda overloaded and the situations where you just can stay back and rest somewhere are really rare since League is a reactive game. Instead of this passive you also could just go to base, it would have the same effect. Garen on the Hand can still roam/ do something while he triggers his passive. Also this passive couldn't be abused by enemies because of the spellshield and damage reduction. Imagine you're playing against a Xerath and you find him under his tower and he is in his coffined state, it would be hella frustrating that you can't even dive him or something like that.

A passive like that would have little use in a fast and moving game like League and for the enemy it would be awkward to play against.
