Garen Counter: Garen is a juggernaut with a kit designed to sustain and soak up tons of damage while dishing out a good amount as well. He has an execute, damage reduction, silence abilities, and a CC reduction with a tiny cleanse combined in his kit. This lets him not only go into fights and deal damage but also use his kit defensively to disengage. As common with other juggernauts, he does not have any leaps or dashes making it easy to kite him.

Tips to Deal With Garen Counter 8.19

1) Garen’s ultimate, as mentioned before, is an execute and how it works is the lower the opponent’s health is the more damage it will deal to them so as to finish them off if they are low enough. It also has True damage mechanic to it where it marks a certain target the villain based on which enemy has the most recent kills. So avoid staying in lane with low health or near his sight as he could instantly kill you when he gets the chance.

2) Garen’s E/Judgement deals the most damage out of all his abilities as a non-ultimate ability. Not only does it shred percent of your armor, but it also deals AD damage which gets increased because of the armor reduction overtime. So maintain distance from him while he is in Judgement as that can deal a lot of damage and give him the winning trade.

3) LOL Garen’s passive is the ultimate sustain passive and the most simplest one out of them all, it grants him additional health regeneration when he is out of combat or hasn’t taken any damage from enemy champions for the last 5 seconds. This can let him regenerate a lot of his health back by just playing it passive for a few moments and get back health he lost in a trade pretty quick. So make sure to poke him down and harrass him to not let his passive work efficiently and heal him back up.

4) Garen can be easily kited since he has no gap-closers so work to pick champions with a lot of hard CC or which provide high mobility and are ranged since these counter Garen and can kite him very easily.
