FIRST RETURN TO BASE

  • PhagePhage is the main item on your first return. It is the principle of completing a Black CleaverBlack Cleaver . This if your match up is against a bruiser or some other AD role.

Garen

HOW I PLAY WITH GAREN?

Against meele champions I try to abuse. Force them to stay back, always guarding the bush from above. The easy combo: Decisive StrikeDecisive Strike + JudgmentJudgment + CourageCourage just to make the enemy confused as to whether or not to stay ahead. I always try to make you use the honeyfruit. 

Against ranged champions I try to play safe as I can. Always trying to engage in their failure. If at any time I am unable to deal enough damage to disturb you, the way is to play with your turret.

Always remembering not to push too hard and take advantage of PerseverancePerseverance and always use your wards. If you play against Teemo or Evelynn switch to Oracle.
