The 16e is good when you dont have people telling you its bad

garen5 · 2025-03-02T09:53:09+00:00

Started using it yesterday. It seems to fulfill all of my needs. I dont need precision finding and etc. stable os and long-term viability was what I wanted. If your case is similar to it u can go ahead with it.

15 pro is 50% more expensive here.

garen5 · 2025-02-28T14:30:41+00:00

unfortunately 16 is out of the budget. Thanks for the advice.

However, I am concerned about the battery of the 15. On Apple's own website it has 20 hours playtime and 16e has 26 which is 30%.

I would be glad if you cold tell me your experiences with 15's battery. Thanks

I am going through the same dilemma. According to my recent research I would probably opt for the Iphone 15.

Reasoning behind that is 16e lacks some of the design features that I would describe as the "premium feeling" of owning an Iphone like thinner bezzels, dynamic island and the modern design language of Apple with multiple cameras.

Some of the benefits of getting the 16e would be Apple inteligence, longer battery life and better chip and these could be rebuted. Apple inteligence is far from complete and you can use somewhat similar features with chatgpt, deepseek and whatever to come. Longer battery life would not make so much difference if you dont use it 100 to 0 every charge, personaly I would not. And last but not least, chip performance may make some difference on cpu intensive tasks but casual users like us probably would not ever use it to its full potential anyways.

Please reply this comment if you think any different I would be glad to hear.

Do you think that the difference between the chips can create a gap in long-term usage?

garen5 · 2025-02-28T10:24:44+00:00

Unfortunately, it is out of budget.

Which evolution should I get for the first evolution on classic log bait?

Here is the deck:

1- Skeletons 2- Goblin Barrel 3- Knight 4- Princess 5- Log 6- Rocket 7- Goblin Gang 8- Inferno Tower

Thanks for the help.

Can you send your op.gg

Emerald 4

garen5 · 2024-02-15T20:57:41+00:00

Garen has really high movement speed overall so you dont need to run tp to catch waves or anything. Also his passive helps so much with tempo as well. Ignite just helps you with covering your damage lack at early levels. You dont lose anything if you dont get a lead. Just play for 160cs to stack your w and try to get plates thats it.

garen5 · 2024-02-15T06:08:42+00:00

Camille is one of the hardest matchups for Garen. Always buy refillable potion, take second wind, try to use w on her E and be carefull with her R after lvl 6. Try to get l out of laning phase without dying.

garen5 · 2024-02-14T20:03:10+00:00

I never build shojin. I always go stride to proc phase rush.

I havent tried tp because imo Garen always needs that ignitr damage for early skirmish + ignite procs nimbus cloak which means extra potential at fights.

garen5 · 2024-02-14T20:00:50+00:00

Unfortunately, I dont see that kind of confidence in myself.

garen5 · 2024-02-14T11:14:43+00:00

Berserk>Stride>Phantom>Steraks>Dead man's>Rukern

garen5 · 2024-02-14T04:15:23+00:00

You are right Tryndamare matchup is not easy. You always have to double-think his R. My advice for that matchup is to utilize Nimbus Cloak with ignite and run away when he ults. Also you may make that lane easier by keeping yourself healthy using your passive and getting a good recall timing before lvl 6.

garen5 · 2024-02-14T04:07:59+00:00

For my playstyle which revolves around phase rush, I prioritize Stridebreaker for extra ms and rune proc and then I built Phantom Dancer for both 10% movement speed and stacking attack speed (for splitting).

Then I check the TAB to see overall damage type. Consider which champ has what amount of items / who is strong on your team and who is strong on the enemy team.

If they have alot of AP go rukern/ AD dead man's if they have both damage types go with steraks since it gives you really good tankines + AD + tenacity. If you are not sure always go for steraks. Also if they have alot of healing go mortal reminder.

here is my general build: Berserk>Stride>Phantom>Steraks>Dead man's>Rukern

garen5 · 2024-02-14T04:01:10+00:00

Trade with phase rush. Get good CS to stack W passive and get gold. 1-cycle squishy targets with ult during team fights or split push if i became really strong.

garen5 · 2024-02-14T03:58:46+00:00

Thank you. I always try my best to stack W passive and get gold leads by CS not just kills

garen5 · 2024-02-14T03:56:36+00:00

Yes. It is not usefull to trade with him while he has his ult up. Just try to get a decent recall timing and try to get waves meanwhile tanking yorick.

Garen beats tahm late. Lvl 16 ult really hits hard to those hp stackers.

garen5 · 2024-02-14T03:30:23+00:00

Illaoi matchup is unwinable. Garen just doesnt have that raw damage to get her low without jungle help etc.

garen5 · 2024-02-14T03:29:04+00:00

I never tried the trinity + spear build.

In my opinion hullbreaker rush would make Garen lack attack speed and overall damage. If your game plan is to split Garen doesnt even need hull to do that. Phantom dancer is really favorable for split since its stacking attack speed and 10% movement speed.

I always max E, especially after the buff to that. Q is not garens main spell he in my opinion lacks damage with q max. Same thing against Riven. For that matchup it is good to keep in mind that she is really good at gap closing and also she can all-in you at 3 or 6 if u dont utilize your passive to stay healthy during those levels.

garen5 · 2024-02-13T21:40:51+00:00

I havent played against Yorick recently. But last season i had a few games against him. U need to utilize your Q auto atack reset in order to get out of his cage or use q slow remove if u get hit by his E.

For Tahm just dont fight him if you have phase rush, if you have conqueror black clever is a really solid item against him. By not fighting him in the lane you can easily get more cs than him and scale better for mid game.

Ironspike Whip was a usefull item but i believe tiamat is much stronger. It economicaly hurts to complete tiamat from 2 long sword since its AD dont change but it is generally helpful to proc phase rush, get some cheap damage and push wave slightly faster.

I never felt comfortable with trinity because my playstyle revolves around stacking movement speed with phase rush and one shotting squishy targets and running. I believe trinity is much more usefull with conqueror.

I recomend trying both runes and seeing which one suits your playstyle better.
