How to counter Garen

Garen is a simple, durable bruiser who bullies early with his silence and his spin and heals himself with his passive. He has no way to close the gap beyond his Q dash, so you stop him with ranged poke and kiting, damage that ignores his tankiness, or champions that out-scale him.

  • Kayle — From range she kites and pokes him without being reached, and scales far past him — a nightmare matchup for Garen late.
  • Vayne — Her percent-health true damage melts Garen through his tankiness, and her condemn keeps him at bay.
  • Tryndamere — He wins the prolonged duel with his crit and spin, and his undying ultimate lets him survive Garen's execute.
