Tips Against Garen in Top Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors

Gwen Ladybug says “You're absolute worst nightmare of a match-up. Garen straight up annihilates Gwen in lane and there's nothing you can actually do to stop him. [[judgment]] lets him stack [[Conqueror]] in the blink of an eye on top of dealing absurd damages. [[Decisive strike]] allows him to just run you down and [i]silence[/i] you, and your [[hallowed mist]] is not of much help against him. The armour you gain don't matter much as he will shred it, and he is way too fast for you to keep him out of the mist. [[perseverance]] allows him to just ignore whatever trades you throw at him, and the resistances he gets for free from [[courage]] passive just make him to tanky early on for you to do anything to him. If you [i]really[/i] want to ban someone else, maybe try running [[cleanse]] for his ignites and [[flash]], and rush [[Riftmaker]] + [[Gluttonous greaves]] to try staying above the health threshold of [[demacian justice]], but keep in mind he'll just build a [[mortal reminder]] anyway. So long as he will get a favour treatment by being able to fully stack Conqueror with one [[judgment]], you should perma ban him.”

Liam1601 says “As soon as he Q's into you, do the E-Q combo. You can still have your Q even when silenced and you will tank his E thanks to your E shield. That's for early game, after that try to dodge his E and don't play him if you're low.”
wolvepax says “Bait his rotation and re-engage. Cancel his passive heal with w or e.”

rippytide09 says “Garen is currently really strong, so you'll be seeing him often. Before he smacks you with his Q and spins with his E, activate your W. If you ever get somewhat low and he has ult, pop your ult since his ultimate will annhiilate you. Play passive until you have warmogs since he will outsustain you with his passive. Once you farm to warmogs, the lane is really easy. Once you get heartsteel, the game is over; he'll never be able to kill you again and you can just hit him and heal back up with warmogs.”
Sekirooo says “♡ DEMACIAAAAA Not a hard lane to you a good garen will not blindly fight you they will always just engage and then leave making it hard and his passive can always heal him so he can keep it up until he ult so whenever he engage use your W before he Q so he you slow him and you can punish him”

claubertonious says “garen has no way to get ontop of you reliably aside from cheesing, you can use charged Q to try and stop his passive and you can use your E to block his E or ult. If he gets close and you have no E then you will definitely die.”
[26.9] Claubertonious' Ultimate Pantheon Top Lane Guide by claubertonious | Pantheon Player
Wafflerush says “Usually only a danger once he gets his "outplay" button (R). Utilize your passive to space yourself from him when he starts spinning. Popping your W when he Q's in guarantee's you come out with a winning trade. Recommend grabbing Iceborn Gauntlet before Eclipse as the game goes on.”

RAVYFY says “spin away when he starts his E. you out sustain him with Q.”

TheMild1 says “The main thing for this lane is to get your back timings right. If he chunks you then he will pick up a free kill with his ult. If you get about half HP then it is time to look for a recall.”

Glenn Silver says “Just deny him cs and xp, if he steps forrward, stack and slow, then grab him back into you. If he wants to quick trade with Q + E + AA ---> phase rush disengage, you want to use W on him once he commits, step out of his spin range, then hook him back when his spin stops and use W when phase rush procs. You will harshly snowball and make it unplayable for him if played correctly, but his late game is better than yours and he has high kill pressure, so if he had a good trade and you're both at ~60% health, don't fight him.”
