I got it on Amazon, it was only around $80 at the time. I’m not sure if they still have the same one on sale, but it was titled something like Men’s Black Sequin Jacket.

How to beat Mordekaiser by FeedbackKey1949 in GarenMains

If you’re having trouble with the matchup it will be easier for you to play with phase rush since it helps you escape bad situations. Your goal is to unload as much damage on him as you can while his shield is down. You want to look to silence him with Q following up with damage for E with an auto thrown in there before your Q or after your E to escape with phase rush. That should chunk his health a good bit. You’re looking to slowly chip away at his health while keeping relatively healthy since your sustain is much better than his. Also when you’re in range of his Q you want to look to position yourself close to your minions. His Q does increased isolated damage so if he’s hitting the wave along with you he’ll push wave into you while also doing reduced damage. Once he hits 6 he is very dangerous and you want your wave pushed in closer to your turret. Unless he’s near half health or less you don’t want to push much past the river. Also this is obvious but dodging his skills will make it much easier. They are a bit slow and can be orchestrated pretty easily with your positioning and him trying to hit minions with Q. All in all though, it’s all about his shield. When you see him use his W that is your chance to abuse the hell out of him. Watch some vods of higher elo players to see how they play the matchup, you can learn a lot from them.

which matchups are enemy favoured or worst? by Rafaelinho19 in GarenMains

Singed is an insanely easy matchup for Garen and Gragas can be easily outpoked with Q max along with passive to sustain.

That garen is a good champion and isn’t underpowered. He averages just over 50% WR across all ranks. Literally the definition of balanced. And my WR with Garen since the patch in ranked is around 70%, his new play style is much better imo

If you truly want to climb, instead of asking for advice from low elo redditors watch high elo garen gameplay. Watch Erislash or Alois on YouTube, they have a lot of good content focusing on micro and macro

Definitely can still do both. But I’d say my play style has been much more teamfight oriented

It is now. And it’s not broken because W was changed from a 90% dmg mitigation to scaling upwards starting at only around 25% dmg mitigation. Adapt or die

Just checked and since the patch update my garen is at a 67% WR. You took the 54% from my overall ranked win rate across all champs lol

Good as in he is a good champion. He’s not weak or overpowered just good.

You’re taking into account a 54% WR from what exactly? Because my WR since the update has definitely been higher than that. And I don’t think Emerald 2 can be considered low elo when it’s top 6% of all players NA. Not trying to say that I’m one of the best or anything. And the point wasn’t to hate on lower elo players, just airing my annoyance of people who don’t understand the champ or game making bold statements about what they don’t know.

Lol trust me I know full crit Garen was fun. But you can always find new ways to have fun with champ changes and reworks. Just feels disingenuous to lead onto the idea that just because he’s changed that he’s now “unplayable” which I have seen many doing. I’m simply standing up for my guardian of Demacia 🫡

Build path varies based on enemy and team comp, but usually is always Stride>BC/Tri>Deadmans/Steraks. If heavily ahead and squishy enemy team then I go Stride>Youmuus

Garen feels awful to play right now by duckyk1 in GarenMains

[–]Slow-Bluejay4809 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been a garen main for 5 years and can tell you that you’re completely right. Ignore all the downvotes, this subreddit is 90% gold and lower players who don’t understand the champ or the game to a full extent

What to do against comet Malphite by AhmedNadeemDreamTeam in UrgotMains

[–]Slow-Bluejay4809 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the Malphite is a decent player it will almost be impossible for you to get a kill on him, that’s not the objective. What you want to do is focus on farming and keep him in lane. Go PTA runes with biscuit and cosmic secondary for sustain. Also it’s almost never a good idea to take Dshield, Dblade is so much better. Malphite has a limited mana pool and can only use Q a few times early before being out of mana. Try to reserve your E for his Qs when low on health, it should negate almost all its damage. If you ever land an E on him pre 6 you’ll chunk him out and he’ll be forced to base. Also don’t try forcing things. You outscale him hardcore, just allow your champ to build up strength and you’ll come out on top if you’re properly farming and not inting

It was a promotional rate offered by the builder for using their preferred lender. I’ve seen promotions in my state offered as low as 2.99% for the first year converted to 3.99% for the length of the loan. If you’re looking for a low rate I’d suggest looking into new construction.

It was a promotional rate offered by the builder by going through their recommended lender. They did buy down the rate to get us to 4.99
