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

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.”

DemicleasTTV says “3 Q > E MAX MAYBE E START Very dependent on his runes and summoners, IF he goes phase rush this is 9x EASIER, if he goes TP it is MUCH easier, if he goes BOTH GG :D Hold ur q for his q if you want to avoid his combo, he should never full combo you unless you let him”

Noahsaurus says “Its just Garen With his ult you cant really utilize last stand and his silence is annoying/deadly for an ability based champ”

Saneryus says “Like Trundle, free M.U Garen, like trundle, his gameplan is to just run at you to do his combo and kill you. If you just don't let him get on top of you, then he can never threaten. As long as you don't misposition or get caught from FOG, it's a free lane. Swify Rush. Standard PTA. Flash/TP. DBlade. Start E level 1 and get priority to shove cannon wave. ”
PokeRoyal2007 says “It´s not hard, if you get level 2 before him all in. Anyways it´s a champion for apes, so he can kill you without even wanting as well. Anyways it shouldn´t be a bad match-up.”

ObiW says “A battle of attrition. Your main goal is to constantly poke him with Tap-Q to stop his Passive (Perseverance) from healing him. When he runs at you with Q (Decisive Strike), use your E (Aegis Assault) immediately to block the heavy impact. Do not fight him inside his spin (E)! Kite him out. A perfectly timed E can also block his Ultimate (Demacian Justice), saving your life.”
TENSION019 says “This is actually a good matchup for Tahm Kench, but personally I just don’t get along with Garen. Take Grasp and Ignite. When his health gets low, he’ll usually back off to heal - don’t let him. He’ll most likely charge at you yelling “Demacia!” and spin like a Beyblade, but doing so leaves him exposed. In those moments, you can trade back with: 3 Autos → Q → Auto → W → Auto Then walk away. You’ll win the trade most of the time. And for the love of all that’s holy, don’t stay in lane with low HP (I make this mistake all the time). A surprise flash + Ignite + Justice sword from above will send you straight to the Death before you even know what hit you. ”
