Who beats Garen in League of Legends: Classic, who Garen beats, and the Season 3 items, runes and masteries to run top. Patch 26.17.
Turrets zone a melee champion with no gap closer completely out of the lane.
Ranged magic poke against a melee with no gap closer. He never touches you.
He has no gap closer and no ranged damage. Blind his Q, kite the silence, poke him out of lane.
You out-sustain his spin trades and the cleaver slow kites him out of silence range.
Counter Strike blocks your spin damage and he beats you at every item spike after Sheen.
Decoy eats his spin and your armor shred wins every return trade.
He outscales you hard. Wither makes your silence-and-spin engage impossible after level 9.
Your passive flat damage reduction blunts his spin and Trinity out-trades him.
He cannot catch you, and Fling reverses every engage he commits to.
Silence hard-cancels Death Lotus. Your ult executes her low. This is the classic Season 3 hard counter.
Silence stops her shroud escape and your passive regen undoes her poke.
Silence blocks Riftwalk. You win every level 1-6 trade before he scales.
Your spin outdamages her early and silence interrupts her Blade Waltz channel.
Start:
Core:
Atmog's: Warmog's health feeds Atma's crit and damage. The defining Season 3 Garen build.
Armor penetration outperforms flat AD once the enemy top buys Cloth Armor, which is nearly always. Armor seals win the melee lane trade.
21/9/0 Offense. Sunder plus armor penetration marks is what lets a bruiser hurt a tank before Last Whisper.
