Who Wins
- You lose early 1v1s due to Garen's superior base stats and gap closing potential with Q movement speed.
- At level 6, you still struggle in direct fights as Garen's R execute pressure outweighs your utility-focused ultimate in pure 1v1 scenarios.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern involves using Q to slow Garen when he approaches, then W for damage reduction during his E spin, and E to create distance afterward.
- Never try to out-trade him in extended melee combat - focus on short burst trades with immediate disengagement.
Wave Control
- Maintain distance and freeze waves near your tower to force Garen to overextend for CS and trades.
- Use your range advantage to poke him down before he can engage, and avoid pushing without vision as you're vulnerable to ganks.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never waste your W damage reduction on Garen's Q auto attack - save it for his E spin damage which is his main trading tool.
- Avoid using R aggressively for engage as Garen can simply walk away or turn the fight with his superior sustained damage.
