Tips Against Garen in Top Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
Racz says “You can dodge his Q with W. Look out for his Q + E + R + Ignite combo when lower health. He will probably push lane after lvl 3. Punish him when he uses E. He can survive ignite with his W shield.”
0
CosmicTurtle88 says “No problem, don't get cheesed early and you're fine. Deny his passive by Q/Grasping him regularly and make sure you don't have boomer reactions to shield his ult. Good shielding just
means you outstat him at every point of the game. Only risk here is if he takes Ignite and Ignite-Qsilences-Ults you to execute while you can't shield, so don't be low HP around him. ”

UlisesFRN says “The thing with Garen is his Q. Even if you run Phase Rush, he can catch you using his Q, and he beats you badly at melee range. Later on, he becomes extremely Tanky for a Bruiser. Black Cleaver and Serylda are good options”

tacowo_ says “Not free, but easy. Garen has basically a worse version of your kit. His E shreds armor, yours does %MaxHP damage. His Q silences, yours stuns. ”

Farmer Cleetus says “He does even damage, will only outdamage you when going full crit or spin2win garen, but he'll eventually be squishy by that and can be one shotted by a single W.”

TENTAKILL ILLAOY says “Вы 1 на 1 ломаете ему хребет, но уже 1 в 2 или в тим файте Гарен просто вас контрит, ибо его комбо Q + R вообще не контриться, вы конечно можете взять стерак или часы от его ульты, но проблемы это не решит. Старайтесь не играть в олын тимфайты когда гарен идет сбивать вам броню и сносить с R 1200+ чистого.”

Maxpiku says “Довольно легко. На лейн фазе если руки прямые ,то Q заблочить и зайти в союзную волну во время его E труда не составит. Так же можно поставить грибы в кустах чтоб не хилился. На линии довольно легкий ,но в лейте этот урод будет просто бежать тебе в харю под броней мертвеца и даже если ты заблочишь его Q ,то его криты с Е + 1000 чистого урона с R никто не отменял.”

Taiquyorah says “Il peut vous faire mal si vous ne faites pas attention mais vous avez l'avantage dans le MU.
Attention à ne pas prendre de stuff trop squishy car il pourra vous dive s'il prends des items bruisers.
Mais s'il Q vers vous, kite le avec un barils. Vous pouvez le poke facilement mais pas l'all in lorsqu'il a tout ses HP.”

I Twisted Hate MyseIf says “If you go proper runes, and space correctly, hes not really that much of a kill threat. He outpushes you hard so you have no wave control, but TF dosent suck at tower farming, and you can poke him down slowly. Ask for jungle help”
0
THICCshake says “You can space yourself from him with q and w. He will never kill you if you have ult up. He will become a little bit stronger with stridebreaker + berserker boots so do respect him after that.”
0
NegativePhoenix says “Garen has always been an issue for most toplaners, this isn't much of a chance for Cho'Gath. Early game the lane is his if you let him get too close rather you Q him or not due to his E spin removing armor after a certain hit amount. His ult also executes off missing health true damage so be mindful of that at all stages of the game. Mid-Late game you won't have to worry about him as heavily but he can still damage you, it's more about how concerning it'll be when he goes for your backline. Silence and knock him up as fast as possible to give your backline the chance to make room and escape his range.”

Yiphen says “Jungle Diff, Doran's Shield. Poke him for the free Grasp procs. Q away when he Q's at you. Ult his Ult. Consider swapping Ignite for Teleport since you won't kill a good Garen player without a gank. Do not trade kills. Freeze wave in front of turret. Dance.”

BreadedBreadCrum says “A fun matchup, not gonna lie. Play around good poke, and use W and E before his silence to limit his E damage. Blocking his R after 6 with E is hard, but can be reason you live. ”
0
7EyesNoSkills says “You can harass garen so much, because garen is based on a simple trading, he can Q and run, thats all. But that is not possible against kalista since your everything is your AA. When he comes on you, AA him and keep following him, then deal some more damage and bonus dash with your Q, then E him when your job is done.”
1
WildSamu says “DBlade + Red Pot.
His only combo is Q+E, if he uses any of those 2 abilites, you can trade with him with your E.
You have to time your E recast to deny his Q or he will chunk you.
Look to W his passive away when he starts to regen.
He will probably look to all in you at level 6, so respect him.
If he has ult you can never all in him.”
0
wooverbo says “This matchup is absolutely dreadful for Garen. However if he gets you low and Qs > Ult before you can use your shield, you're dead. If you let him scale he'll be impossible to chase down since he builds a lot of movement speed items.”

PENTAKILL LETS GO says “Well this trucker can just stupidly run at you, do insane damages to you and can go back calmy to regen to try to trade again. His true damage execute (R) will not let you heal yourself back when you are low.”

Black Demon Ezel says “God I hate Garen. He's not impossible to beat but he's almost there. He passive regens practically all of his health in like a minute unless you hit him and stop the healing for 8 seconds. Keep on the pressure and attack attack attack!!!”
0
FuzzyPopkins says “Do not try to all in him when he has his W up. Short trade instead. Try to E every Q. Once you have whittled him down enough you can all in. Try to fight him in your minions so his E does less damage.”

DIOSAAA says “Free match-up unless you dash on him to engage.
If he come to you, simply W him to counter his full combo, afterwards beat him up if his abilities are on CD”
0
VituVonDoom says “Just be careful about his Q-Flash one shot combo, and you should be good to go. He has bascially no way of getting to you, and if he somehow does, Cannon E on your feet to run faster, and instantly turn to Empower Q him in the back. Take every page you would like besides Electrocute, every single one of them cucks him over in a different way. If you want to add some salt to the wound, if he tries to Q you, hammer E him away. The range on Jayce's hammer E is slightly higher than that of an auto attack, so abuse that”
0
KrazyKid1024 says “Garen is one of those characters that looks like you can kill him, but then you deal no damage. He's a big meatball, and you just kinda slowly chip away at his defenses. Run if you get lower than he does since his R is just a win button.”
1
HalexUwU says “Phase rush and ghost. You can simply run away from him. Not much of a threat at all.”
0
Michcio says “If u focus its very easy lane. He outdamages you by a lot and can outplay you with his R 1000true damage but if you place barrel next to you and kite him with Q and ocassionally barrels he wont do shit. He uses Q= you use barrel and run away till his Q is gone, then poke him again”
0
GG_pentacles says “A good garen can make it difficult for you to play the game.
With his R and ignite you can die a lot”
0
NegativePhoenix says “Garens kit is practically a whole counter to yours. His Q can chunk your health and silence you so he can avoid your Qs true damage, his E shreds armor and stacks conqueror fast, his W keeps him tanky without tank items and his ult executes with true missing health damage. Overall, there's not alot you can do against him level 2 and after since poking him is useless as he'll full engage you then heal with his passive. Mid-Late game is his too as by this point he will have built his attack speed items and melt you in seconds with his E. A heavily good perma-ban choice.”
0
AngySnek says “Garen has no trouble recovering from Swain´s poke. He deals more dmg to single targets at all points of the game, and will simply run away if hs is loosing the fight”
0
Galactities says “If you can Kite garens E you should be able to win the fight. Careful of his 6. He'll be split pushing and taking objectives all over the map so try to split push and CS as hard as you can.”

TrinityForceYasuo says “Stay in Q range -> Bait his Q by walking away from him once he activates it -> Poke with Q and W when he walks up for cs -> Do your best to make his passive go on CD after trades -> Can use W so tank his Q or just damage in general -> Preferably do not stay and fight when he has his E active. Can use Q3 to go away from him when his E is active or your E until his E is done -> Once his abilities are down you win the trades (extended) -> Let the wave push to you”

TheKirkendall says “Garen's regen makes it hard to accomplish your goal of poking the enemy low and then combo'ing for the kill. Play more neutral and don't be disappointed if you can't get a lot of kills on him. Be careful not to get into an all-in fight, because Garen will usually win with his ult before you can.”
0
The Kled Mob says “Watch out for his R-Ignite as he can kill you quicker then you'd think. Make sure he doesn't hit you with his E while you are isolated. Always get minion advantage and pull him into your wave and AA-W to slow him down from running in his Q.”

JORGE OMAGO 74 says “WALK OUT OF HIS E,, save your E to his Q,, BE CAREFUL AT HIS LV6 R+IGNITE COMBO.
HARD OUTSCALE”

IcunoX says “Watch out for his flash+ignite+ult that can surprise you but for the rest nothing scary. Use phase rush to get out of his E.”

over_clouded says “If you played some riven you should win that but just use E when he's using Q on you ”
0
Potent213 says “Look for poke constantly to reset his passive, don't let him heal up.
Parry his Q in the early game as you can react to the animation and it isn't cancelable/
It's not the best idea to look for an all in when he has W, but you can bait it out and hold in the meantime then use your abilities when his W is over.
If he has ignite, use tp to your advantage it's huge.
Care when he has level 6, he can Q and then Ultimate so you can't parry it due to the silence.
Otherwise you can react to his ultimate and get a free kill.
Ironspike Whip is really strong here as well.”

Boptimus says “The only thing you need to look out for in this lane is if Garen can get on to you and Spin while your E is down. CSing early should be a breeze and once you get Lost Chapter throwing combos at Garen will chunk him pretty hard.
I've fallen asleep and gotten cheesed by Garen players who take Ignite and Nuke me with their ult, but you will completely take over the Mid-game after your Mythic.”

Scallywag says “Garen can't do anything since you can zone him with your barrels.
He can still oneshot you in one spell rotation and ignite when his ult is up.”
0
verikukko says “As a rule of thumb, Volibear wins every 1v1 against Garen from level 1 to 18. Try to combo your EQW ability rotation before his silence lands (Garens Q has a bit of cast time) but it doesn't matter much if you fail the combo cause you probably win every trade anyways.”

Atmoist says “Silence is annoying and he can be very good if he gets ahead. Farm hard if so, and if he doesn't try silence you every time you go for q you will destroy”

powerfullgeo says “Every crayon eating, glue sniffing child out there thinks Garen beat Riven. No he doesn't. Block his Q with your E. Your fast Q combo out damages his E. Don't stay close to him if you're low health, you can't out play a point and click execute ability”

Trundledaddy says “Lane isn't super hard, you win unless you int it early and lose level advantagenhis lvl 6 especially with ignite is scary even if you are 6, can get steelcaps tonease up the lane a bit, but divine is a BIG scale moment vs garen, he might just proxy you most of the game.”
0
queen_rane says “[Ghost + Flash] Just play safe early and don't trade too much hp during the early game because he just heals it all back up with his passive while you can't. At level 6 he can never really go in on you because you just press R and kill him. Or you just land 1 E on him, press R, and kill him.”
0
FlayMan says “Similarly to Darius, Garen is just to slow to deal with you. If he ever tries to engage, just e/w and wait out his q, then jump on him. Be sure to know his kill windows and make sure to poke him down before committing to a kill.”

Kurose0027 says “Parry his Q and you should auto win, Garen can never win in this matchup unless the Fiora misplays.”
0
SilverAvalanche says “Bully: You have to play this flawlessly to win while Garen can make a thousand mistakes and still sleep through this matchup.
You want to E his Q silence and poke him with Qs. Just be aware that if you are 70% Hp or below post level 6 then he will just flash on you can kill you, but garen should never be able to touch you anyway. post-6 you have to duke his silence with your E before you go in or you will die no matter if he is half hp and you are full hp, but if his silence is down then you just ult him when he spins and Q him down and kill him. I would advice you to poke him down a bit before you all in him though. ”
0
KyleTheConqueror says “There really shouldn't be an issue against Garen. His passive isn't good enough to out sustain you, you have harder cc, better shields, and an escape he can only stop with his Q if available.
Be careful though. Feeding him can be dangerous still.
(SPEED, DAMAGE)”

ShacoMagicTrick says “OMEGA STUPID melee all in champ. Just use your brain and your boxes to trick him. Poke with E. Remeber he has his braindead ult so he can execute you.”

Federals1 says “His Courage can deny dive options at level 6. Always try to bait it out before an engage. You hard win levels 1-5, but at 6 it becomes a bit more dangerous, especially if he has Ignite. He never wins 1v1 late game regardless of your build.”

Poke him all the time so he doesn't heal, parry his Q, try to bait his W and then try to fight him, if he has ignite you need to respect his early dmg.

///////////////////////////SPANISH//////////////////////////
Pokeale todo el tiempo para que no se cure, ripostea su Q, intenta baitear su W y luego pelearle, si tiene ignite tienes que tener cuidado con su daño en early.

gazibulle says “Very easy matchup. You hard outscale him. Just a farm lane, trade with W-Q-Q. If he ever tries to Q you, you can take a step back and Q him and you will ALWAYS get the first AA, thus your shield will eat his whole Q damage. Avoid trading when your shield is down, it's the only way Garen can kill you as he has low CDs. Make sure to W spam so he doesn't regen with his passive. Be careful lvl 6 as Garen players often take Ignite to do the infamous Q-E-Ignite-R deadly combo: if he ever gets on you while your shield and E is down, you are dead. The key to this matchup is slowly poking him down, and just farm it up: your champ is better than his in almost every way.”
0
Anothaoneforym6 says “This guy is my perma ban and not for the fact that he can beat you. It takes too long to outscale him and E rush does not work too well against him. Even after you are stronger than him in teamfights his ult can do massive damage to you his Q can negate your W and silence you. ”

Shewapa Dapa says “Dude is so tanky and so hard to kill
Focus on roaming”
0
MHLoppy says “Although he lanes fine, his scaling is poor and his trading is telegraphed. Play smart and safe; force him to take lots of minions damage by kiting backwards when he trades onto you. Make sure you pop W before you get silenced so that you can still return good damage while kiting backwards. Ensure he doesn't get too much mileage out of his passive unless he's willing to lose cs by chucking an axe at him when he's last hitting.”

Jakkeryoyo says “he will bully you in early game cuz he got good mobility and high damage”
0
King Turtle says “Garen has tons of effects in his kit that totally screw you. His E has armor shred, his Q is a silence and cleanses slows, and if you think you can heal from 100 hp to beat him with your survivability from your kit and build, you'll have to pray he doesn't have R. He's difficult to kill and will always find a way to be a nuisance.”
0
LimitlessHavoc says “Very linear matchup.
Don't let him Q you for free.
His E does much less dmg when he's hitting multiple targets (inc minions).
Don't waste your burst/full combo on his W.
The key is to short trade and E before he can Q you, repeat and eventually all in.
If he hasn't taken damage for a while his passive will heal him for a lot, poke him with your Qs to prevent this. Level 6, do not be below 70% HP or he can 100-0 you!!”
0
Cryniu says “Juega neutral y con mucho cuidado, especialmente si lleva ignición.
Muy importante el combo Q+W cuando se lance con su Q contra ti.
Usa con mucho cuidado la E, Garen tiene mucho contraataque. De preferencia úsala para escapar o defenderte.
Evita el daño de su giro y prioriza atravesarlo con la espada.
Te recomiendo llevar como mínimo la tenacidad de la runa, su Q silencia.”

Kocykek says “Early on be careful of his damage.
Get Sheen and poke him a lot. Go for short trades. After Divine he isn't really a champion for you until he has 4 items. Then he's a champion again!”
0
Helzky says “Garen is the same as Cho, it's free money. You can farm level 1, level 2 you can E him for more gold, and you should just win, especially because of prowlers buy later on. Level 6 for him is scary so make sure you aren't overextending or else you lose the trade. The reason I rank Garen higher than Cho is because Garen has more damage and is way tankier with more sustain, meaning it'll be harder to solo kill him, however it's still possible.”

TheChoz3nOne says “Passive match-up, you can't kill him because he is too tanky. After lvl-6 he is more powerful than you with his ult. Bait his ult on your clone then finish him off. You can't win him in 3-lvl fight because of his annoying E and Q.”

Mushroomuwu says “He is easy to fight but he can also stop you from auto attacking quite easily and keep poking you with barrels so he can be a pain. Also most of the people that will be playing Gragas tend to main him so that will also make things a bit more difficult. The way I tend to beat Gragas is stack up passive and look for level 1-2 fights because he won’t have all of his abilities that help him trade back. He is generally pretty strong at level 3 due to his high base damage. You can also juke out his Q and E easily while trading with him. It is quite easy to outplay him but you have to be careful with how easy it is for him to disengage from you after chunking you heavily. So, I’d recommend only fighting him if you have minions set up to juke him out so you don’t have to worry about him bursting you and disengaging. Be careful when committing as if you miss anything he can easily run you down so make sure you hit your abilities/have passive stacked before going for an all in.”

Your Desired Username says “Easy match-up, he cannot beat you in an all-in unless you miss every q. That being said, try extending every short trade he tries to go for into an all-in, you will most likely get his flash, 75% of his health bar, or even kill him if he is dumb enough to commit to the all-in. Spam q poke him to deny his passive. Level 6 is almost always a guaranteed kill, again, if you don't miss every q. His best bet will be to wait at the wall and wait to get out of Brazil before you kill him and scurry to his tower. If you're not particularly struggling or behind go straight for your Mythic. Be careful when diving him, and don't sweat using the full shield, as he can dish out quite a bit of damage with q ignite ult and the tower shooting at you, not even mentioning that if he catches you by surprise and q's you before you w, you will die under turret, so when diving him, try timing your w JUST as he leaps onto you with q as to get max value off your shield while not "missing" it. Later into the game, if you're not several thousand gold ahead of him, i wouldn't recommend ulting him (unless you don't have a choice) as he can run from you quite well and even if you catch him in a corner he is quite hard to kill, meaning he might escape with a sliver of health and run, regenerating all of your damage with passive, while you sit in the middle of 4 people. Ignite is very recommended as he will also be taking ignite and it just makes fights very hard to lose.”

Command daisy to follow him across the lane and he's either dead or had to burn flash. ”

Anoying bro5 says “Do not fight him lvl 1 as he can chase you down with Q and the minions will eat you alive. lvl 2 get your parry and you always want to parry him when he Qs. It is pretty obvious when he is going to do it as well. Constantly Q to not let him heal from his passive. Make sure when you are low that you dont hold riposte for his ult, as his Q will silence you so that way you cant riposte in time. When he is Eing (spin) run away to disengage, and reengage afterwards as that is the majority of the dmg.”

Stinkee says “The recent rework to Garen makes it easier for him to apply Conqueror stacks. He should be stronger against tanks making this matchup even worse.

Sovereign Kitten says “Garen has been one of those long time easy match-ups for Teemo, however, with recent changes it made him a even match-up strictly due to the fact that he is much faster and deals much more damage. If you see him activate his (Q), you should activate your own (W) to keep your distance. If he manages to catch you hit him with your (Q) to prevent his (Q) silence. Keeping your distance and poking safely while out of his reach is a solid strategy. He gains more damage based on attack speed from his (E). So don't get caught with him spinning into you. Morellonomicon will help with his massive sustain.

BoilTheOil says “You beat him in extended trades so just run up to him when he goes for cs and auto-attack him, and if he tries to run away pull him back in. He's unnecessarily tanky with his W so save Q until it wears off. After level 6 make sure you save W for his ultimate, you can block a majority of the damage. Once he gets an item or two you probably can't fight him 1v1 unless you're ahead so play for teamfights after that.”

The_Unf0rgiv3n says “Garen is a tricky one, because he has a high base damage on his abilities so you have to avoid getting hit by his Q > E at all costs early game, unless he's around 50-60% HP, because then you can simply do your combos and AA him to death by the time his abilities come back. Make sure before you go in for a serious trade to bait out his W. It will make a huge difference in the trade!”

LiL Bunnie FuFuu says “Garen is pretty weak in the earlygame. You can bully him hard during this time, just auto him constantly and flay when he tries to Q you. He has an annoying interaction where he can Q even if you flay him a second too late so keep that in mind. His W soft counters your crowd control, although he can only cleanse one of the slows (from E & R) not both.
His ult will do a lot of true damage and this is why he is a 2 and not a 1. The main threat of Garen is he can always win a 1v1 if he is able to press R on you. Flay him away or box to make him useless in every teamfight.”

quinn adc says “After Garen's mini rework, the matchup is heavily one sided towards Quinn's favour.
The main thing to note is that now Garen's Q is programmed as an auto attack, which means that Quinn's E, Vault, can cancel the damage AND silence from Garen's Q, Decisive Strike.
You should play the lane extremely aggressive and auto attack Garen whenever you can to proc your PTA every time the PTA proc is off CD.
The only thing to watch out for is to only use your E to counter Garen's Q.
Whenever Garen presses his Q ability, you should react immediately with your vault because he loses the movespeed bonus when it's cancelled.
Keep in mind that his Q is an 8 second CD while our vault is 12-8 seconds, so he will have it up before your vault is up basically every time.
To maximize your effectiveness in lane, play back a little bit when your vault is at arround 4-6 seconds if you vaulted his Q in an earlier trade to prevent the good Garens from silencing you before your vault comes back up.
Post level 6 the only thing you need to know is that Quinn's Q can cancel Garen's R lmao.
How this works is if you blind Garen and you leave his nearsight vision radius when he presses his R ability, his ult animation goes off, but the damage is cancelled and his R is placed on a very short cooldown.
Keep in mind that his R will be back up in a matter of seconds, so if you are able to pull this cancel off, then don't get greedy and overextend because he will have it back up momentarily.
You outscale Garen incredibly hard, this is a dodge worthy matchup for him and arguably the biggest counter pick in all of League.”

Amphawn says “He can't really do anything against you. Just don't let him all in and play safe early game as usual. When he Q's, hit him with yours, and once you hit 6 just poke him to death. Start by leveling Q to 3 so if he Q's, you slow more than he gains. If he is somewhat low, it's worth poking him a bit even at lower levels to keep his passive from activating and healing him. Be careful of his ult, as it is an execute based on your missing health. So it might not be too smart to stay in lane when you're below 40% health, or just play under tower.”
0
PH45 says “Most Garen's just run Ignite and play to win the lane during early. The key in this matchup is to not fight him while his E is up. You can also just dodge his Q with your E. After his E runs out you can engage on him, block his Q and wait out his W before finishing your stun for maximum stun duration. You have to remember to keep his passive down if you want to wither him down, as otherwise he will regen his hp back up quickly. Also at 6 be mindful of his true damage execute on his R.”

At_Tar_Ras says “in my experience garen is nothing compared to the many other champs in this game. you need to W his Q and kite out his spin or hold W during his spin too. he's defeated rather quickly if you play lvl 1 right (cheater recall, tower-diving, etc as discussed in the guide further below) and once you get bork he kind of stands zero chance. i understand if you struggle with him though and think he should be higher but it should be said garen's kit is ULTRA basic and is nothing compared to something else that's scarier like darius. also; when he uses W either dis-engage and re-engage when it's on CD or simply power through if you're winning the trade already.”

SunFalk says “He his very tanky. He will spin into the wave to get that CS. He will run fast. He will jump on you. His ult is an executer. He has a silence. He deals a lot of damage. - Garen will be a hard lane to go against, play it safe and CS, if you see him run at you, just heal to run back into safety. Don't forget he has a silence.”
0
PH45 says “The new reworked Garen is a bigger threat during lane phase due to him being able to stack Conqueror fast with his E. Be careful to not stay in his E or you'll notice your HP dropping very fast. They tend to build squishier though so if you can catch him off with your jungler or just able to keep his passive down he shouldn't pose too much of an issue, especially late game you are much more useful due to your CC.”

LoLReal says “This used to be a Darius favored match up, but in his current state Garen is just too strong.

Be sure to buy grievous wounds in this matchup, or Garen will just keep trading over and over in lane and regen with his passive.

You want to trade against him with Q whenever he walks up to CS as you can out range him in the regard. He has to walk into you to trade which is to your advantage. Extend the trade if he tries to walk away to come out on top. --- Both of you want extended trades and can ramp up damage quickly till your opponent is low enough to execute.

InYourWayToHELL says “You can kill him pre 6.
Go for extended trades

Drake6401 says “This feels a bit like a counter to Renekton because Garen has an answer to just about every strength Renekton leans on. He has a silence to stop abilities, innate armor, and passive healing to out sustain. Try to deny him his passive heal with Q every chance you get. I found it effective not to run from Garen if he engages on you. Auto-attack him as he does his spin since you likely can't outrun it anyway, then once his damage is fully over, stun him and trade back. Before he stacks attack speed, you win these kind of exchanges. If he leads with Q, this works, if he leads with E and Q's you as a disengage, it will not. If he leads with E, just kite out the spin since he won't have the Q momentum.”

Rhoku says “TL;DR - EASY LANE. DON’T GO EVEN IN TRADES. ALWAYS EXTEND THE FIGHT. DON’T EAT FOR E COMBO. CARE FOR HIS IGNITE+R. CONQUEROR RECOMMENDED
Garen is a very easy matchup for you. The only time he even has a chance of killing you is through some ignite+R cheese he can do level 6. His ultimate is stronger than yours as an execute on a single target but that should not matter as your kit hard counters his. If he steps up to CS, make sure to chunk him out hard. The only point in the game where trading is a bad idea is level 1 IF he goes for the Grasp -> Q max build. If he goes the normal, E max damage Garen, then it will actually be so free as he will be very easy to wear down. A great way to screw him over is to save your W or E for when he silences you. This way, you will CC him long enough for the silence to wear off, allowing you to dumpster him. Ideally, you should try to kite out his E while you try to Q him as it stacks up Conqueror really quickly but even if he hits you with every last bit of his damage, he still loses. MAKE SURE TO KITE HIS E WITH YOUR GHOST POST LEVEL 6 IF YOU ARE EVEN WITH HIM. OTHERWISE HE KILLS YOU WITH IGNITE + R.”

RivalOCE says “Riven wins level 1, don't be scared to trade into him after he's Q'd you. Short trades, Q AA W E away, try and bait W. Garen scales really hard now with his new itemisation, try to get a lead in lane.”

The Rock Titan says “"[Grasp w/ Bone Plating, Doran's Shield, W > Q] - Start W and go E next and get Q lvl3, you can easily trade with him starting lvl1
- Once you get some HP and Armor, he cannot trade with you anymore
- Keep on Grasp W him, you can kill him when he's low enough
- Make sure you E him before he silences you, press E and W together, they can activate at the same time
- Make sure you don't get too low trying to harass him, he takes ignite and can all in you easily"”

Quinncidence says “Immobile!
I never have a problem with Garen, farm, throw in some grasp AA's when he goes for minions and just enjoy a fairly easy lane.

The Real Fake says “Levels 1-3 you should be able to win pretty easily if you stack your Q. Afterwards you need to punish his Q cooldown by baiting it out and punishing. Once both of you hit 6 things get difficult, especially if he has ignite. Things get really hard once he gets stridebreaker, as you can't kite him out as easily anymore.”

sock217 says “Is a threat if he has ult and if he is a level up you. If you are a level up on him then you win pre-6. Easy to bully but can turn send you running to your turret just as fast. Killable, but he has an execute so be cautious.”
0
Rhoku says “The Garen matchup is in your favor. You outrange him heavily which lets you poke him down, and if the fights last long enough, you will win the all ins. The bad part comes in the form of him being WAY better in shorter trades. His Q and E do tons of damage and his W can negate your Q damage if he uses it properly. Early on, you shouldn't be fighting him for extended periods of time. Only using your Q to poke him down. If you are capable, the combo of e->q and then backing off will be very strong as you will continuously chunk him down. Land every single last him and make sure he suffers for every CS he takes. Know that Garen with ignite, has a pretty solid shot at killing you at level 6 so be careful of that. You insta win the lane once you get Rylai's though, provided you haven't died to him many times already.”

You q, q, q, r ignite, you get him to 3/4 HP but then u realize he's spinning on you and dealing more damage then your entire combo with 1 fucking ability and he clicks R.

Avelon6698 says “freelo, wait for him to waste q to get to you and just use E, he will disengage. if he doesn't. just q knockup auto w and he should be outtraded. Also gotta try and get him to waste his W so you don't do reduced damage, but shouldn't be a problem regardless”

Psychopathic Top says “After Garen rework this matchup became incredibly hard. Garen’s Q spam is very low mechanic and does a ton of damage. Do not trade vs it at all early and let him shove with spin. If you stall, the lane becomes easier. Just avoid trading vs him ever in the early game, let him shove slowly and be patient. With spin adding conq stacks the new Garen is very hard to out stat. He is tankier than you late game, which isn’t good, since he can stop split and go even with you in 5 v 5. Look to out macro him and try to rotate around the map.”

Olaugh says “Try to bait his q and run away by hitting him with axe when he comes to close to you(sometimes if he is that hungry and desperate to hit you with q he will maybe activate W and reduce ur Q slow and manage to hit you which now means that he hasnt q as tool to run away, he hasnt W as tenacity and shield which results in high chance for you all in him as soon as he comes back for few seconds to finish few last minions, also when he goes with his q for cannon,do your q+e or e+q combo, that hurts him a lot and often baits his w but then its too late for him, again he used W , now, look at map look at him ,use chance to get kill.
Take care of your mana, you will see him spinning with E and q ing minions every second but he has no mana so be aware and dont let him control your laning phase”

Gospodin Bure says “This one is tricky, Garen can mess you up in a blink of an eye if you allow him to get near because he can cleanse your barrel slow, so just stay back and wait for him to Q first and start running, THEN throw a barrel at him and run for your life.If you manage to Q him once or twice during this time you're golden.”

DippyDan says “Pretty easy matchup for Fiora since he has no ranged abilities. Can kite easily with the extra movement speed from passive. He can win the lane with ignite and if he gets good trades.

fishybearo says “Garen has always been a strong counterpick to Renekton, his sustain is strong in lane and his silence allows him to chunk you without the chance to trade back which is very problematic on Renekton because most of his damage comes from abilities.

Note: Doesn't everyone just hate dying to a Garen R with Ignite?”

Unmasked Kayle says “[Standard runes] The problem with Garen is that he will likely take ignite and his trademark outplay (flash Q ignite E R drool on keyboard) is not really something you can survive in most situations.

Whenever he Qs towards you, just walk back, using your W and Q if necessary. He will never be able to touch you.”

-Dorans Blade
Build:

Easy Lvl 1 with your passive. You might just get a free kill due to Garens no expecting a Kayle to be able to fihgt him.(smol brain warriors)
Ignite might also be an option due to higher rank Garens also taking ignite, but the risk is there that he might jsut go TP and out Macro you.
You want to Max E so you can keep his heaing passive down as much as possible.
Late game: Garen is a full juggernaut now and can kinda run you down even lvl 6 if you dont pay attention, but as long as he isnt on top of you, you're safe.”

JaxIsAHobo says “With the advent of stridebreaker changes that happened a little while ago, Garen isn't as good as he used to be. However, he is a somewhat difficult lane, in that if you fuck up a handful of times(he smacks you with his Q(silence), he spins around you and you were texting your girlfriend and half your health is gone, etc), life is gonna kinda suck. This is a skill matchup, in that you need to not get killed early and give him a lead. If you feel confident, build botrk vs garen. If you don't have 100% confidence, go for building sunderer. ”

Fryx says “I used to think this is easy but it really is not. A good Garen will time his W perfectly to block your harass even if you time it differently and his signature Q into E is deadly on you. Since his Ult does True Damage you can be destroyed very easily.
But don't worry! There is a way to win this! Take Grasp and control the wave perfectly. If it pushes back to him, get him to harass you since his e will shove the wave and push it back to you. Since he has no TP you can use this to your advantage to get good resets. Don't focus too much on tping away since he will crash waves to your tower fast and will destroy the sidelane. His weakness is his teamfightpower so make use of that.”

After that just slowly run him down, and if he hides back behind his minion wave to heal just E towards him and throw your Q to stop it. Garen is only dangerous when you are mini Kled but if you have Stoneplate and Sterak's Gage, you will be fine. Abuse his weakness early.”

Safolet says “This is one of my favorite matchups, because Garen literally has nothing to do with Gnar, you just have to stay away to roll basic attacks and a few Q's to wear him down. If Garen tries to get closer, you jump with the E and you have already freed yourself, if he tries to get closer with Flash, you can always jump with the E and then slow him down with the Q. If you are in MegaGnar and you are close to Garen, you should only use the Combo : R, Basic Attack, W, Basic Attack, Q and then you escape with the E.”

Most Garens run ignite so it's super obnoxious to fight them, but if you're equal in gold you win against him, but if either of you gets ahead it's super snowbally. Garen can easily spin behind you during your W so make sure to stun him with your E or position far enough away so he can't do that. No matter how much you poke him he will regenerate pretty fast, similar to you, and if you throw out a W when he's disengaging he will use his W for a free shield, pretty much negating your W true damage. You are at a disadvantage if you can't kill him, he can run away easily. Be wary of his ult if you have low HP, you will just die. His splitting is very scary and he can easily escape, try to match him as best as you can. But generally in team fights he's kind of useless VS you, just ult him into his team during his E animation, or wait for him to try and engage, then just peel him off your team. Consider going Stridebreaker and or Dead Man's Plate if you're even or ahead to catch him. Take Executioners if you have a lead, or Bramble if behind. Go Death's Dance eventually, it will help when fighting him.”

joelspaho121 says “Easily one of the easiest matchups for Darius. DBlade start with sorcery tree. The only thing you have to be mindful of on this matchup is that his Q breaks slows so he can avoid getting hit by your q by cancelling the w slow and getting away. Garens extended fights are really bad as opposed to you so if you take some damage at first it's fine because you beat him on every extended battle possible therefore you will indefinitely turn the fights over to your favor the longer they go for.post 6 you are still really strong but be careful of his all in especially if he has ignite dont let your ego overcome you and respect his level 6 damage esp if you dont have R.
Most garen players get extremely cocky when they outdamage you while engaging on a trade and will probably not start positioning away which is where you start turning and killing them.”

Godidi says “You win lane by default. You completely delete garen, legit, he can do anything against you. You can poke him for free because he cant get away due to him having no mobility, his Q is just negated by your blind, he cant get you with his E because you are faster than him and many other factors. Take the runes for hyper poking and enjoy the free lane.”

Kaizin says “The most important notes for the Garen matchup are that your passive lightning will keep his passive from activating, try to use this to your advantage. Try not to use all of your abilities at once unless his W is on cooldown. It reduces his damage taken and grants tenacity. Building early health pre 6 is very good into Garen as his R does flat true damage plus missing health. Just a ruby crystal will be enough to tank that flat true damage at level 6. If Garen starts spinning on you, try to position an allied minion between yourself and him, his spin deals 25% extra damage to the nearest target. If he is running at you with his Q and you know it's going to get you, use W on him before he gets to you, it'll cast even if you're silenced as your W cast time is very fast. From here you can auto attack trade and drop E and if he commits you'll be able to get a W2 cast.”

deathwalker7119 says “Garen is a more complicated matchup then you would think. Take conqueror always into him and avoid trading in his wave at level 1, his Q auto reset will fuck you. Only poke at level 1 if he uses Q on a minion or walks up to CS you can Q right when he autos the minion. You MUST watch out for the R one shot with ignite, this makes healing off ult very hard. You MUST ult at the very beginning of any 1v1 or else he will absolutely shit on you, nothing you can do. You have to look to parry his Q or his R. The problem with garen is, if you parry the Q you can't parry the half hp ult one shot, and if you want to parry ult, well he silences with Q so you can't parry at all. The best option is to run when he pops Q, then turn with R and all in him. He will sometimes stay in it and you will win if you parry the R (If you are both 1v1ing and are both half and he has ult up, get ready to parry the Q + R, as he will use both in rapid succession sometimes so you might be able to parry both). I'd recommend shield and revitalize + second wind into him to try to keep up with his passive.”

top is high impact XD says “big stone wall, if the garen isn't a moron you won't be able to kill him and he has no mana cost and good sustain, plus great wave clear so backing is hard but you're almost always going to have to back first, you beat him level 1, go even level 2-6 and win post 6(if he hasn't built tabis or bramble) and you can dodge his q with your w(kind of), you're a lot more useful than him even when you're even, but the fact that it's pretty hard to get ahead without help from jungle makes the matchup annoying”

Womsky says “Scaling set up, easy money for the most part, all u need to do is bait him to go into you, not for you to go into him, so u can advantage of your super sustained damage against him, like, for example walk near him, let him for confedent to Q you, kit him abit, let him hit you, hit him once to active your lethal tempo then wait his ilence to end so u can spin and lay down the hammer on his head, level 1 and 2 u can be agro with fury, u scale way too hard on first item plus boots that u run him down so hard he cant do much, after that when he stacks armor he becomes harder to kill, all over its an easy matchup, can be rough if he gets a lead.
One last important tip, if u want to stop his healing "passive" you can land a W slow on him if he ever turns his back for you, it will stop his healing just like attacking him.”

1. Good wave management
2. Hit him occasionally to prevent him from building that advantage.

teemodumbstupid says “Garen has a good winrate against Nasus, but in reality if you are a good Nasus you should be able to destroy him with just Sheen. You won't win if he has ignite and you have no items. If he walks up for a minion, you can Q him until he isn't able to walk up anymore. Most low elo garen players don't use their brain and will perma push the wave which then you can freeze. Do not go E max build because he has regeneration with his passive. Do not max W just for him because his Q removes all slows on him.”

Draconic56 says “The Garen matchup is in your favor. You outrange him heavily which lets you poke him down, and if the fights last long enough, you will win all ins. The bad part comes in the form of him being WAY better in shorter trades. His Q and E do tons of damage and his W can negate your Q damage if he uses it properly. Early on, you shouldn't be fighting him for extended periods of time. Only using your Q to poke him down. If you are capable, the combo of e->q and then backing off will be very strong as you will continuously chunk him down. Land every single last him and make sure he suffers for every CS he takes. Know that Garen with ignite has a pretty solid shot at killing you at level 6 so be careful of that. You insta win the lane once you get Rylai's though, provided you haven't died to him many times already.”

You can start with Doran's Blade and "W" for early progression and even early kill or first blood. He can't do much in early game. You are one of the champions that is so powerful at Early Game. You can just outdamage him. Make sure to use your "W" if he used his Q or he will just use his Q and run away. But if you have apprehend and if he used "Q" to your "W" just pull him. If he used his "E" for minions, trade him or even all-in him. One of the Easiest Lanes for Darius.”

SanLourdes says “Garen is very tanky for you to out-trade early game. His ability after level 6 can execute you on low health. The same as Darius, you should initiate the duels with Garen and build anti-tank items. It is really hard to avoid any of his abilities. Try to E him at the beginning of a duel, so that towards the end you have another one ready (helpful with any champion really). His best ability to counter you is his E because you are a close quarters combat champion and his E will deal continuous damage around Garen if you don't back off. Try and initiate when his E is on cooldown or force him to choose between farming minions or defending against your initiations.”

SpartanDumpster says “Pretty much all extremely close ranged champs will be the same story, and some of these are based purely on speculation since Gwen is brand new.
He doesn't care about your W at all, everything he has to damage you he needs to get inside your W for in the first place. Maybe if you time it well you can dash with W up to get him out of it as he's ulting, but it'd require some split second reactions.”

You don't fight him until you got lots of stacks or until the jungler comes to help you. He will be a pain in the ass with his Demacian Justice, but you'll be fine if you play it save.

Nowadays people play Trinity Force crit Garen which means you'll have a good time at oneshotting him in the late game.”

GrGamingTeo says “Believe it or not, Garen can dominate you even if Darius is superior early because whenever you use your Q a good Garen will use his to run full speed at you, silence you then spin and walk away. Even is you use your Q and your W successfully he will use his W and regen back to full health with his passive. Also 95% of the time Garen will have ignite so be carefull with your health because once he hits lv6 he will just Q, E. ignite, ult and then you die 100%. You need to respect his lv3 power spike and every time he tries to get a last hit you can pull out a sneaky AA, W, Q on him and you win the trade. Garen thrives on going for those really short AA, Q trades so if you manage to get him in a really long, trade and land your Q properly then you win 100%.”

HoftheGreed says “Garen es mas peligroso que Darius por 4 razones:
1-Silencio por su Q (ah que jode no poder usar la W en ultimo momento)
2-Reducción de Armadura por su E (el beyblade es su pasión, y por lo tanto también lo es hacer mas daño)
3-Escudo y Reducción de Daños por su W (créanme, es de lo mas irritable tanto en early como late no poder bajarle mas de la mitad de vida a ese feo, en especial si se comienza a tanquear rápido).
4-Ejecucion por su R (si bien no es una ejecución como tal como la R de Urgot o Pyke, en esencia cuenta como uno porque aunque mitiguemos el daño con la W, aun así le puede ser posible destrozarnos si tenemos muy poca vida). Contra este campeón yo recomiendo encarecidamente usar botas de mercurio (SI, MERCURIO) para no vernos tan afectados por su Q y armarnos objetos como Cercenador Divino o Cuchilla Oscura para castigar el efecto que obtiene con su W en lo posible, además de usar Corazón de Hielo para disminuir su Velocidad de Ataque y por lo tanto, los impactos que hace con su E, teniendo mas oportunidades de que no nos afecte con su reducción de armadura. También recomiendo que si se ve con intenciones de pegarnos una Q para despues comience a girar como trompo con la E en lo que estamos silenciados, intentemos estar cerca de minions enemigos para tratar de aturdirlo al mismo tiempo con la E y cuando el nos pegue la Q, así el que perderá tiempo será el aunque estemos silenciados y podremos defendernos con mayor facilidad de su E (ojo, nuestro aturdimiento no cancelará su E, así que por eso recomiendo usarla mejor con su Q)”

Olaf Only says “Be careful at lvl 6 if you don't have
Steelcaps as he can kill you in one rotation with ignite.
Garen has great sustain in lane so focus on farming.
Olaf is stronger in Midgame teamfights as Garen can be kited easier.”

LunaticDancer says “The match up starts out in his favor, similar to Darius, and his passive heal is annoying, but you REALLY win in the long run as long as he's not fed. His Q gives him a speed boost and a cleanse from slows, so hitting him with E after he hit Q is very punishing and frustrating for him. Make sure to hit him every few seconds to disable his passive. If you can't, farm safely when pushed in. You generally win after lvl 6, but still be careful in duels, don't let him get you below 1/3 hp, or he'll surprise R you.”

lolkayleee says “[Conqueror/Grasp + Trinity/Divine]
[Flash/Ignite + TP]
Start W or Q. Don't walk up next to him with your passive on CD while his Q and E are not. When your passive is off cooldown you can just do whatever you want and your shield will absorb all his damage, but back off before your shield wears off. Try to W him to keep his passive on CD. You can even Q him under the tower with your passive up to keep his passive on CD but make sure his Q (silence) is on CD or E away before you Q him (in mechanics chapter).”
0
TheMegam5 says “Always slow him (w) after he uses his q.
Edit: I changed this matchup to grade "even" because if he builds tanky he can freefarm even if u poke him with low hp and he can kill you at long trades so try to avoid him.”

SpyDaFX says “try to stay away from his Q's and play safe level 1, or you'll end up being under 50% health at level 2 and u will not be able to trade. level 2 and level 3 are easier to do big trades, try to bait his W by E'ing and waiting for him to use it, just like teemo's Q or fiora's W, because when u W when he W's he gets barely no damage and u will lose the trade. level 6 is kinda risky if you run conqueror but if you run press the attack you should be good unless you make a mistake, usually try to get a lead before level 6. go conqueror”

Ravenborne says “Easy Lane. Do not start the trade off with your E because he will just Q and run off. Either start with W or Q, then wait for him to silence you and walk beside him. Just simply pull him back in after the Silence and automatically win the trade against him. Starting the trade off with your E will not net you as much damage due to his Shield and the Q silence, sometimes not allowing you to get the W slow off.”
0
Kil4fun says “You can usually outrun the guy. I suggest cleanse into Garen. Flash Q ignite R is a horrendous combo. Cleanse to get rid of ignite if he took it and the silence so you can ult before he deletes you.
Once he gets stridebreaker you need to be extra careful to not be in range or his E will chunk you for 70% of your health. ”

Bear24 says “Top 3 most tilting champs. you have to pre q, w, e before he silences you. Then you win the trade. If he maxes w it is impossible to kill so freeze the wave. His ult can kill you at 25 health soo. He's too fast to catch with your q too. Remember to use your passive on the wave to prevent him from healing if the wave is not frozen. Misplay twice its gg”

MarkFromSingedMains says “Garen slaps hard, flinging him isn't that useful because it just means he e's the wave and you. His true damage ult cancels your tankiness for the most part but in teamfights throwing your W on him is usually enough to stop him from being effective. Awful lane though.
09/11/19 Bumped Garen up to 5 because his Conq build is extremely strong.
24/05/20 Bumped Garen down to 4 because his Conq build has fallen out of fashion”

Whobick says “Garen used to be pretty easy to beat, but this changed after his rework. He can crit now while spinning, so you can't just use Vicious Strikes (W). Just poke with Undertow (Q).
TIP: Reckless Swing (E) has a higher range then an auto-attack, so try to get it off before he silences you!”
0
Devilofthewest says “I put garen at major because a good garen will hide their Q speed boost and empowered auto within their spin. They will spin behind your E and then land Q . if they bring ignite you have to factor that their ult will do a good chunk of damage and ignite will do a decent amount as well. For this match up you need to poke him often to keep him off the minions but also to keep his passive off. once you hit level 2 start doing short trades with your W . If you have poked him down enough, stay aggro and he will lose. lastly dont underestimate his scaling .”

If he hits lvl 6 before you play a little bit safe because Garen's ult is super OP”

kingchas2 says “Very kitable. Make sure you save your Q until after he uses his Q. If you agressively use your Q he can cancel the slow and get on you pretty easily. His R is very telegraphed and you can use your R to block the damage. If you do this it should be pretty easy for you.”

chokoryu says “Garen can deal about as much damage as you without a mythic. If you have Bami's Cinder+Bramble+Plated Steelcap, you can outtrade as long as Q hits. Garen can heal fast, so if you see a feast opportunity, you must hit Q and flash in before he heals back.”

Dannala says “Top: His early damage can be outsustained, if he keeps away to heal you can freely heal on minions in spider form. Trying to keep his passive from activating is pretty essential if you aim for a kill. If he tries to go in on you simply Cocoon, walk away and poke/Rappel until his spin ends and reengage on him with your spiderlings intact. If you get hit by a Q you may die then and there, depending.
Jungle: An invading Garen should be easy to manage unless he's fed, simply play the same way as in top.
Late: As he builds generally squishier since his E update it's much easier to handle him late game.”

ineptpineapple says “Ugh this guy is so annoying! he can use his slow removal stuff to still go in on you as much as he wants, when he does that root him and walk away. He is really annoying becuase he has so much dmg resist and he regens like a god but if you get to 6 you can most likely kill him if you have been poking enough. IF YOU FEEL LIKE HE IS GONNA ULT YOU ULT YOURSELF FIRST. If you ult garen when he ults it will still go through but ulting yourself you should be safe.”

iZeal says “Garen has no tools to evade your Q unless he can cleanse your W slow with his Q. Stack up your bleed if he silences you (or buffer AA+W+Q when you see him running at you with his Q) and E him if he wants to disengage from a trade or to setup your Q heal. Remember that Garen's autos are pitiful compared to Darius so even if it looks like he is winning a trade his entire damage is gone after Q+E until he gets you into Ult range while you are only getting stronger from bleed damage and the AD steroid from Noxian Might. In teamfights you have to be careful as Garen can execute you from around 30% health no matter how far behind he is (Sterak's Gage is recommended)

You have the better champion.

NickCola Tesla says “Surprisingly, Sion fairs quite well into Garen! This should be a skill matchup slightly in your favor. At least, this is until the passive on Garen's W, Courage, starts to grant him enough armor and magic resist to negate a good chunk of your damage.
Remember, in order to trade, Garen relies on using his Q to close the gap before using his E for DoT. His Q only breaks him free of slows effecting him, not slows affecting him! This means that unless he's in AA range of you, there should be no way for him to reliably trade! Every time he tries to trade with his Q, slow him with your E and disengage.
The reason why he's an even threat, however, is because of his presence in teamfights. If you're sitting around 30% of your health in teamfights, Garen is able to execute you no matter how far behind he is! This is honestly the only time he should be able to cheese a kill off of you.”

Play safe until 3, if he tries to Q you, negate it with E and unleash a combo on him. Save your Q to go back, once you do your combo, you can Q back to safety. You shouldn't have too much trouble.”

TheMightyNinja says “Q: He gains movement speed, his next basic attack gets empowered and will silence you. You can counter his Q with your W.
W : Gains a small shield, reduces incoming damage by 30% and gains 60% tenacity.
E: Spin to win, his signature move, try to stay out of it when you can.
R: His R will deal some damage + bonus damage of the enemy target's missing health as true damage, make sure you don't engage while below 50% hp.
The matchup itself isn't hard, just make sure you take short trades to keep it to your advantage with your empowered basics and grasp then get back asap. If he drops below 50% hp, you're healthier than him and his W is on cooldown you can kill him.”

Frostyfps says “This matchup is straight forward but can be a nightmare if you fall behind (he can literally dive you at will). Try to avoid his Q with your E early, when he runs at you stun him and auto and then back away. You don’t need to let it crash to your tower, auto the minions back to keep the lane in the middle. Once you hit level 2, stack your passive but maintain your distance. Once you stack your passive you can E him and Q to him or Q a low hp minion to maximize your autos. Start autoing him and stun him when he turns on you (easiest time to land your E on anyone really). He will do a good chunk of damage but you will outdamage him in a prolonged fight. Do try to get free autos in before you all in him. Post level 3, use your W on his Q before it hits you and you will have a major advantage in this lane. Post 6 it gets a little harder as you do have to watch your hp but as long as you chunk him a bit with your auto range, W his Q and land your abilities (E/R) you will come out on top. I would avoid fighting him post level 11 if you do not get ahead of him.”

Build: Trinity Force or Duskblade
Very easy lane. You may never be able to kill him but you can poke him out of lane and keep the minion wave in a favorable position. Trinity gives you extra movement speed and AD that is great for chasing down an opponent. Keep Garen at max range and he will never be able to trade with you without flashing. Not anything special past a free farm lane.”

ArmandChad69 says “Unlike Darius, he has no easy access crowd control to bring you to his kill range, so that makes him an easy target to your bullying. Same thing applies to him that applies to Mordekaiser, he can scale well so don't get cocky and take poor trades and fights.”

SnarkyAlpaca says “I lOATH GAREN PLAYERS.
Hear me out, his passive that infinitely heals him after he leaves champion combat for a period of time is the BANE OF MY EXISTENCE.
Simply continue to poke him, his Passive will start to heal him about 6-10 seconds out of combat. So, even if you can't hit a vital, you should still tap him with the intent to stop his passive healing.
Also, his "Q" is the ability where he'll leap into the air and smash you with his sword also silencing you. When you see him start to gain movement speed and hold his sword up chasing you (this is the animation), Riposte him at the last second. You won't be silenced and it will completely waste his burst damage.”

McSoupape says “Garen's for me one the the hardes matchup as illaoi, indeed, the pasive regen of garen will allow him to just regen from your poke, illaoi's regen is stronger as you are low life, at this moment garen just have to use his R and you can't do anything, his silence will also delete your W avoiding tantacle to hit ”

Penguinoverlord1 says “This matchup tends to be a pretty skill based matchup, just watch out for his Q>E>R combo as it can burst you done in no time. A good note is that his E won't kill your grunts early on, so you can abuse the grunts to win trades.”

YoungTact says “Can be a hard matchup if you don't respect him but general rule of thumb is to play to farm and apply lane harass combo. IF HE Q'S AT YOU, YOU Q HIM + W to disengage.

ERNESTSAURUS says “CONQUEROR / SPELLBOOK SETUP - DORANS SHIELD / 3 REJUVENATION BEADS + POT =
Garen kit is made to make short trades thats why previous to his mini rework, he used to play with Grasp of the Undying, but since his mini rework, it became a harder matchup. Nasus will win the extended trades so as Nasus look to farm as safely as possible, Garen will look to do short trades and disengage and whenever you are low enough he will force an all in into you, they will usually start a trade with Q to get movement speed, Q and silence you and then E and W out. Try to bait his Q so he has to Q a minion and shoves the wave towards you, or punish his cooldown if you have enough stacks. One really important tip to win an extended fight is to look to Wither him after his Q, since his Q removes all slows, and If you see the cast animation of his ult, you can ult while his animation is going so you get the bonus HP to tank his R, You outscale him, but he can snowball really hard so give minions early on if he is really aggressive.”

Grayified says “Lethal Tempo Runes and Build. Ignite + Flash. Long sword refillable potion start. The problem that a lot of people have with the garen matchup is that they do not know how to force an extended trade. What garen will do is set up his grasp and then q you. His Q is on a 8 second cooldown. Tryndamere wins the extended trades, Garen wins the short trades. Early game build up fury, and when you have a good amount of fury built up, look to auto attack him and move forward towards his escape path in between auto attacks and then spin on him after his silence is over and you can get an extra 2-3 auto attacks to win the trade. Post 6, be mindful of Garen's ultimate which is an execute based on your missing health. It has a very long cast animation though so you can usually wait to ult until you see the animation for his ult coming down. You can ult even if you are silenced so dont worry about that. Another tip for laning phase is if you w and slow the garen it will stop his passive from healing him. If you w and dont hit the slow then it will not stop his healing. In the allin vs garen, make sure that you use your w after he uses his Q because his Q will cleanse your slow. In the mid-late game if garen built tanky it can be hard to dive him under turret so look to catch him away from his turret, or if he is playing really safe then shove him in and outrotate him with your superior mobility.”

Pyroen says “Bait out his Q, it is a hefty amount of his damage, engage after he has used it for a minion kill, and try to poke him often so his passive healing doesn't kick in. Once he starts stacking MR he can become a major problem and you will need Magic Penetration to do any damage to him.”

I Am Goliath says “Pretty easy matchup Garen struggles a lot with kiting and you can pretty much keep him under pressure the whole lane and even under turret so he loses a bunch of cs if you're safe enough to get out if the jungler comes, he should pretty much never be able to Q you early game or even spin all over you, and his spin is pretty weak early game anyway, and your W procs will do a lot to him.”
0
Nabura says “Click on his character and watch as his Q speed runs out as he runs at you. Using W to outrun his Q and turning on him after he tries to run away will make him question why he picked Garen.

Shumair says “This matchup is really a 50/50 because even though Mordekaiser has a slight advantage in lane, Garen is more useful in teamfights and wins the 1v1 late game. That being said, Garen can also win lane if you let him take advantage of his passive sustain. Due to that, try to constantly take long trades. In short trades he can shield damage with W and silence your W. Always use W early because his ultimate can execute if your health is too low.”

wallobear53 says “In the laning phase, his combo is quite obvious as he has no gap closers. When he begins to run at you, moving away will stop him from getting his damage off. Just focus on kiting him and damaging him with your ranged abilities while he is charging at you.
Garen’s W gives him a shield, so make sure to save your damaging abilities until after the shield runs out so that the shield does not absorb the damage or worse, an ability’s damage.
Garen has a lot of in-built healing from his Passive, but the healing stops when he has taken damage recently. Regular trades can reduce his Passive healing drastically.

There is a visual indicator when he uses his W and he will gain a shield + 30% damage reduction for .75 seconds. Wait until that wears off, then throw everything at him. It's much easier if he goes grasp + tanky build rather than the conqueror + berserker's greaves + triforce build.”

Stiwy says “Garen is very simple and predictable.
He can kill you if you stay in his E too much because it cuts armor and his ult deals a serious damage too.
Buy early tabis.
Try to trade after he uses Q and/or E on minions.
If you can keep poking him to prevent his passive from healing him.
He cant really dodge your ult except if he uses flash.”

Whenever he comes close to you with his Q or spinning, use your W on your proximity, between you and him. You will either catch him in the cage or place it in front of him. Like this you will not allow him to get close to you.
Still beware of a Garen with Ignite. That may be a threat. Farm under the tower if so.”

Go for early tiamat or stinger to have more dps pre6. Be careful fighting him when you are low. If you find yourself ahead, rushing bork is pretty good instead of trinity.”

You beat him late game or when you get RFC and PD powerspike so you can kite easier. During the laning phase look to roam mid if possible but be careful, he can push out your lane relatively quickly so roam effectively. Take fleet or grasp into this matchup, you od not want long trades against him, late game is another story he cant teamfight well due to his lack of AOE aside from E. Ignite is also a good pick into him.”

Echostyle says “PTA Runes
Pretty simple to counter Garen. The only real way he can get onto you if you are able to maintain good positioning is by using Q and flashing to close the gap. Without flash, he will never be able to actually get into melee range against you because of vayne's kiting power. You usually won't even need to use condemn defensively. Be careful though, because if he does get into melee range, he will win the trade unless you can condemn him away instantly.
Try to freeze wave in the middle of the lane or closer to your tower because enemy jungle ganks are still very deadly with garen.”

WolfNyte says “Garen is able to trade with you and back off then recover from most of the damage from that trade and come back in doing the same thing over and over again making it hard to survive laning phase as Voli cant do the same.”

Auntbetsie says “During laning phase you have no pressure at all. He stands in between the waves, stopping you from CSing unless under turret. His Q also stops you from going all in as he silences you, his E can also deal some damage especially if they build attack speed and his W and R are just stop you from dealing damage to him and kills you.”

Discord Rengar Mains says “Similar to Darius but somewhat more manageable. Early levels you can deal with him fairly well, try to whittle him down constantly so he can't heal with passive before going in for the kill. Try to save up your stacks for his Q silence so you can double W and come away fairly unscathed. If you get a significant enough advantage it will turn into a farm lane, a fact which you can use to pressure anywhere else. If he gets to 6 without you having secured a lead however the match will go downhill for you. I would recommend either a bruiser build (sustain works wonders) or stasis. If he gets ignite however this matchup becomes significantly harder, but if you get help from your jungler you can push top somewhat soonish and help elsewhere. TP+Flash recommended, either conqueror or grasp work fine.”

Gwndimi says “Garen with ignite is a hard lane for you just play it safe dont feed him try to cs as much as possible hit him everytime with a AA when his passive is gonna pop up.
Garen with TP is a easy lane for us, just keep poking him when he Q to run to you run hit him with your Q after his Q speed is off chase him

Itreallyhim says “Read Darius.
His Q will screw you over, he will win trades, and his ult can be deadly.
Try for longer trades, Short trades only favor you if you dont use E.
He can Q instantly after you E him so be wary.”

Circas says “Ah Garen, my favourite stat check in the top lane.
This is favoured towards Garen because most of them take ignite in the top lane but it is not really worth taking yourself since you can make Teleport plays and pick up easy kills if bot lane over extends. Teleport will always scale a lot better.
The way to winning this match up is to pay attention to Garen's abilities and punish him when he uses them at in opportune times and especially his ability Courage (W). This is the ability that can definitely make or break an all in against him because it has a 24 second cooldown level 1.
The basic combo to kill Garen is build stacks, jump near him, use Defiant Dance (W) to block his damage from Decisive Strike (Q) and then keep holding Deviant Dance because he will most likely instantly use Judgement (E) and you can block a few ticks of damage. This blocks most of his upfront damage and you now have a window to re engage on him.
You need to make sure when you go in on him you have room to chase him down because you do not want to take short trades with a Garen since he excels at them thanks to his really annoying passive that heals him up a ton when he is out of combat.
If you take a really good trade but did not quite kill him and start to shove him in, keep up the aggression. Get a ward down and keep trying to poke him with auto attacks or your ranged abilities every so often to keep canceling his passive.
His level 6 power spike is much stronger than yours especially with ignite because it will keep you from healing back up in a fight against him leaving you vulnerable to getting executed by his point and click true damage ultimate Demacian Justice (R).
Try and go in on him levels 3-5 since it is much easier. Make sure not to east free poke damage from him and always wait till you have Deviant Dance (W).”

Rivenetto says “If ure not a good Riven player,he will always be an extreme threat. His Q silence and E is so good for short trades against Riven. You can EW his Q and u want to go into extended trade or all in just when his E is on cooldown,instead you wont win that.”

lonewolf91 says “I say it's even because it depends on both yours and his position and on the amount of feed, but in general, Garen's kit (mostly his E) helps him against Yasuo combos. He can escape, trick you or bait you. It's all about the intelligence of the Garen.”

Quincy98 says “Garen is a nightmare if he lands his Q often. Fiora is heavily reliant on her kit early game, and can't kite quickly enough around his E.

Thr3shPrinc3 says “Garen has a hard time playing against you in lane. You can constantly poke him down and with the sustain of Fleet Footwork you can farm without being too scared. If you see him use Q then just flay him away, but make sure you catch him on the edge of your E else his auto attack will still go off and silence you. Play more carefully when Garen reaches level 6 as his ultimate can probably kill you if he flashes on you. If his ult is down however don't hesitate to hard engage, you can kill him or worst case force him out of lane or under his tower.”

ForgottenProject says “Don’t fight him Level 1

At six he will just flash on you with Q, E and R. Theres no counterplay and i always ban him.”

Braddik says “I permaban this champ, even if you dodge his q he can spin onto you and then get away and heal all his health up. At level 6, you won't even win a close fight with him having his R up. Go for early tiamat or stinger to have more dps pre6. Be careful fighting him when you are low.”

Trial_By_Barrel says “Garen is probably my least favorite champ to fight against as Gangplank. Garen has a movement speed buff, an engage, armor increase, out of combat healing, an execution ult, AOE damage and lots of health and a way of healing. Your best bet is to poke and walk away when he goes in. Try and predict when he's going to ult so you can orange out of range. Also land barrels if possible. When you're low just use potions and play safe.”

Darkseige555 says “This either an easy matchup, or a living hell. If you don't play aggressive from level one, you will fall behind every second the game progresses. In order to win trades, you need to bait garen into fighting you and then q him while you walk away. Once he turnes away, be sure to proc a grasp passive to remove him a lot of kill pressure. Be vary careful once he hit 6, especially if he runs ignite, because the true damage is huge versus poppy.”

Pedrokis says “No começo do jogo pode ser um pouco chato, principalmente pelo fato de que ele vai tentar 100% das vezes chegar em você com o Q e dar bastante dano com o E. / Tenta dar dano à distância com o seu primeiro e segundo Q, usando o terceiro Q pra bater nele caso ele não tenha o Q ou o E ou caso ele venha pra cima. / Se ele dar engage com o Q, espera a move speed do Q acabar e manda um W nele que a troca é praticamente sua.”

ozmankaan says “A good Garen player is always a problem for any top laners, he is too tanky, he regenerates at high rate coz of his passive, can give you huge dam n ult can ignore ur armor so instead of being aggressive be intelligent with garen, garen main ability to cover gap is 'decisive strike', he needs to be near you to give you dam, so when he go for 'decisive strike' you go for your purge n start moving away from him, he will get hit by ur bullets n if by chance he is able to hit you, you would have a shield on u, you will not get the dam instead he got all the dam, repeat this n keep poking him by your 'q' or 'AA' otherwise he will heal, when his health is abt 50% go for your regular combo of 'E' -> 'W' -> 'Q' -> 'R', n yeah he can ult you even when you have ulted him so dont go near him when your health is low.”

Valorkyrie Quinn says “You can't really do much against him, because he can be so tanky that he can nullify your combo damage by his W. His E also deals a lot of damage after the recent update.

BeautifulWinter says “With Garen it should be super winnable however with the speed he has it might be impossible to actually finish him off.

Big Belly Bop says “Ever since his rework, his damage has been insane to squishy top laners. If he starts running at you with Q just E away and get some autos off.

Loevely says “Hard to fight without the right setup. Normally his silence silences you just long enough to where you cant
use your normal W right after. However, if you take the Legend: Tenacity rune, you should be able to use W to heal
AFTER he silences you. This is ping dependant. For people with higher ping, never engage garen without having 2 stacks
before jumping. Standard trade would be, Jump with 2 stack -> E -> AA -> Q(this puts you at 4 stacks)-> Emp W -> W -> run back to bush.
Grasp with W max make this matchup much more bearable. ”

hotdog93 says “Take small trades, try to bait out his W, and then all in him once it's down. 3rd Q+auto into E+W away is very good for this matchup. Boots early are very important to escape him. His 2 item spike is better than yours, but he doesn't do a whole lot of damage until he finishes Tri Force. Try to peel him off your carries in fights, or if you're far enough ahead, just roll his team as a silence is his only way to defend them, and Tenacity will reduce his silence. He'll probably be too busy killing your nexus towers for that though. ”

ThisIsJustSad says “1. You can beat Garen at all stages of the game if you W his Q.
2. In the early game, only fight Garen for 8 seconds, since if he gets his second Q, the trade will go even. You want to wait for your w or he'll just destroy your hp bar.
3. A big problem that you might face is if Garen chooses to build armor instead of Trinity, then you can just crash the wave and keep roaming, getting pressure in the enemy top side jungle instead of focusing on your own lane.
4. You might want to save your W for Garen R, but a good Garen should Q you, and if you w his q, wait a second then R, or if you don't w his q, he'll just use q-r. So, always w the q if he uses it on you.”

OpticR says “Garen is a very easy to play champion with a straight forward skillset. He has a silence and can ignore you're crowd control. He also does loads of damage and is tanky. Never underestimate him no matter what lever you're at. I'd recommend just poking during the laning fase to keep him as low as possible without putting you're self at risk.

Nightblue33 says “As long as you stun him before he gets his Q silence off, you will trade well. Make sure that you keep trading with him so that he can't get his healing up.

You can 100% take akali into this fight but just be careful garen does have alot of dmg and an execute so make sure you are awake and in the mood to mess with him. And when you shroud most garens with stand in the middle and spin, dont be too proud to leave your shroud a little to stop him from hitting you. And you will need a lot of magic pen vs him namely morello for his healing as well.”

Jezzzir says “He has extremely high base stats, base damage, and a point and click true damage. You can blind his Q but not his buffed E, so keep Q up but still keep a big distance. You poison keeps him combat and negates his passive, so if you are in a good spot, try to keep the pressure up. He also scales quite well.”

Polkadog says “Garen is a spin-to-win champion. Unlike Trynda, he can't get out of your W but if he lands his Q to you, you can expect for his E and R on you and for the voice "You have been slain!" If your W is on cd you can only run... but Garen runs faster with his Q and you know what happens then... your E cannot slow Garen enough.
Don't push much, try to last lit with your E and if he comes any closer, retreat.
Since Garen is very easy to use, cheap to get and his recent buffs has made him unfair, I'd say for now, ban him most of the time!”

messketchup says “You can either start Doran's Blade or Cloth 5. Your damage output is higher than his when his W is on cooldown. You counter his passive with your passive and R, and the passive E armor penetration goes through some of his free stat boosts.Despite the upper hand in damage, it is important to ward and be wary of the jungler. Garen will most likey ask for ganks due to your hard damage and, only then, will he be able to go toe-to-toe with you.”

Zestysquid says “Garen lanes often rely on your laner falling into the Garen player stereotype, but you can win it by baiting him when he charges. His W is a massive steroid for something that isn't an ult. It will block a lot of damage for a brief period, so he will use it when diving your boxes if he's smart. If you manage to telegraph his ult you can R out of it, which will reset his cooldown, but allows you a chance to escape. You can also Q out of it while he's casting it but this will also reset the cooldown. I like to hide in a bush and bait out the ult with clone which works once or twice in laning.”

RainbowNova says “Garen is very annoying. He literally has no mana problems, has infinite HP regen and does tons of damage besides being the tankiest mofo there is. You can blind his Q damage, but the silence and the armor reducing E he has are annoying. His ultimate doing true damage if you've gotten a kill is also very lethal. I personally ban Garen besides Darius just because I hate playing against him.”

Lil Tidepod says “Garen is an irritant, but a high damage and tanky irritant. If you slow him with E to hit a Q, he'll just Q out. If you Q him and land a knockup, he'll probably just W as soon as he thinks he can't get out and you'll do significantly less damage than what you wanted, or he'll use his Q to get away quickly before you can do anything else. His ultimate is dangerous before Sion gets some health items, because of how much true damage it throws down. If you're low post-level 6 and your health is under 500, I'd back. It's just better to be safe. A fed Garen is actually one of the most annoying champions in the game.”

He's pretty strong against melee champions, and his R will destroy you if you dismount. If you take conqueror and play around his cooldowns early you can maybe kill him with ignite. Just don't accidentally use your full W against his W active. If his team is heavy AP, consider a hexdrinker and nullifying orb rune to counter his Ulti magic damage. If you're marked as the villain, DONT FIGHT HIM. Pushing with tiamat and roaming will help you get gold if you can't kill him.”
