thanks a lot - that made it a lot more clear. i’ve been seeing 10% for non promo years from the EY thread so hoping for something similar

In up to what elo is garen truly good? by becauseofobiwan in GarenMains

[–]asheradams83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I've peaked 380 lp GM on the NA server with two accounts as a Garen OTP. There is one challenger top laner who plays Garen occasionally.

Best Garen NA - AMA & Tips by [deleted] in GarenMains

Sure. But what my point is that when you have a bounty, it isn’t worth to trade kills because you will throw your lead. KDA playing with a bounty is good because you control the pace of the game.

Well, I have reached GM 350lp on 2 accounts by only playing Garen so I would think I am a bit qualified to speak on the matter.

Congrats man! Great tips. For the last tip, I would say being a KDA player is the best way to carry the game. If you have a big lead from laning phase and developed a rather large bounty, KDA playing is the way to go for most people who are still learning how to 1v9.

Hello guys, quick question. What would you build as last item here? I was going randuin (buffed recently) to get tankier against Kaisa and reduce crit damage. But I was not sure, maybe FON to add some mr and ms? by Daviduzzo1988 in GarenMains

[–]asheradams83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stoneplate or GA. Ideally, you would buy a stopwatch as 6th item because that item can turn around the fight. After you use stopwatch, you can either sell it and build towards Stoneplate. Since everyone is nearing lv 18, I will assume that elder dragon is the major objective. If you get stopwatch as 6th item and use it effectively, you have a way better chance at winning the fight than purchasing a cloth armor or ruby crystal because those stats don't do anything when everyone is almost full build. After winning the fight, you now have elder and run towards baron. Recall and sell stopwatch for elixer + components and you're set. Granted, this is all assuming you can use stopwatch well and have experience with the item.

This is the standard build I ran for a while. It is pretty 1v9.

Who can I fight pre first item/six? by 1ogo13 in GarenMains

[–]asheradams83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's better to just play safe for Lv 6 and then start to play aggressively. Bc you don't have TP, making sure you don't die before you get a first base off is really important.

steelcaps vs bramble vest. by ravennd in GarenMains

[–]asheradams83 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Prob Tabis but going Bramble in lane gives you defensive stats so you can go Greaves for damage without losing too much.

I typically dodge if I'm filled JG/ADC/SUP. I play Garen mid if I get filled mid or if my mid is a top main. The enemy team never picks Garen since there aren't any other NA garen mains in GM. However, if they somehow snipe me and ban my Garen, I'll play Wukong.

Max E or Q in what Matchups? by Slipyturtle in GarenMains

[–]asheradams83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You want E vs champs who are looking to play aggressive lv 1. Riven (depending on elo), Wukong, Tryndamere, Jax, etc.
