How to play it

✓

Kite his Q

Garen uses Q to close for his trades: kite back as he comes in rather than standing to duel him head-on.

✓

Starve his passive

Keep him in combat with Q and autos: his passive can't regen while you're poking, so chip him low and take the trade window.

✓

Save your Hop

Hold E to reposition the instant he Qs in, so you stay at kiting range instead of getting caught in his trade.

✕

Never stand and trade head-on when he Qs onto you: kite it out instead.
