why is this not in the game? Part of why i love Garen so much is bc if i’m in a sh*tty unplayable Fiora matchup i can sit back and just spin the wave and play for late game. I feel if they jgave him less than average starting MR/armor it wouldn’t be too broken. Also his E should scale with attack speed and be able to stack conqueror more than once per cast.

Garen has the single highest Armor+MR of any champion, without items. He basically has the W passive you are talking about it just isn't tied to an ability and is instead part of his base stats.

We did this to help clean up his tooltips, and highly what is interesting, while keeping the same power that he would gain passively.

Hey I'm just wondering with the new elemental ocean basically give Garen's passive to everyone, don't you think he should have his passive buffed ? Not to mention that there are literally better version of his passive like sett's

Sett's passive is similar but I wouldn't call it better. And it is fine for champions to have similar abilities, what really matters is their kit as a whole.

We wouldn't want to buff Garen just because something is coming out that is similar, if it turns out he is weak after Elemental Rift's release then we can look at buffing him, but we don't expect that to be the case, and he has been in a fine-strong spot most of the time anyway.
