How to play it

✓

Freeze on him

Garen has no ranged way to touch the wave: get a freeze going and he simply cannot farm. Deny him hard early.

✓

Bully before his items

Punish him early, especially vs Stormraider's: buy a little early armour/health so he can't proc the speed and scale into a safe side-laner.

✓

His spin (E)

Late he engages Q + E + Stridebreaker, W's to take no damage, then runs. He can't fight you head-on unless you're around 50% HP.

✕

Never fight at low HP in the late game: his ult execute means you can't win below ~35–40%.
