How a strong Garen player plays

  1. 1

    Q Cleanses W Slow, Counter

    Garen uses Q to remove your W slow and then runs at you to trade. Don't use W carelessly.

  2. 2

    Phase Rush Trade

    If Garen takes Phase Rush, he'll proc it with AQE and quickly disengage. Don't chase; wait for his cooldowns.

  3. 3

    Q Bait E

    Garen uses Q speed to bait your E, then backs off after the trade. Don't overextend.
