League of Legends exploits: Champ 1: Garen


Having fun with my the first champion that I ever bought in LoL. :)

Actually,I started playing League of Legends because of this champion,since his name is similar to mine,just that I have one more "r" (Garren). I downloaded the game without knowing what it was about,at first.

Later,I started by playing the tutorials they offered.I played as Ashe,and the map they used exclusively for the tutorial was quite cool if I do say so myself.

This reminded me vaguely of DOTA at that time,but I didn't mind,I just went through the tutorials . There were 2 parts to the tutorial,the first one teaching you the basics such as moving and raising your skills,and the second part of the tutorial was 'battle-training',where we enter Summoner's Rift to wreck some real havoc (to enemy A.I.s).

I was lucky ; Garen was one of the three champs which were available to use in the tutorial,since they offered 1 ranger,1 mage and 1 melee champ.

Of course,I chose Garen instantly and locked in.(This action would soon be known to me as insta-lock,which people claim to happen very often,but I don't see it happen that frequently)

Back then,last year,I was very fond of using Garen,and believe it or not,I averaged 20 kills and 5 deaths a game for a very long period. But being the prideful guy I was, I started looking for a new champion when I heard people say that Garen was easy.. and Pentakills for him were the norm . Although I knew that wasn't true, I chose to play other other heroes on a whim . Lets save the other champs for later,for now,its Garen's spotlight.

For me,I bought Armor Penetration runes and Magic Resist/Armor runes for Garen,to ensure late game survivablity on the latter and to maintain early game dominance(offensively at least).

So,I think I've done everything I can to give Garen the highest potential in game,the only thing lacking was my skills,which I hope I will have the motivation to polish in the near future.

Garen's early game is very strong,if not one of the strongest.He is also one of the champs you can easily score a First Blood with. When the game starts, buy a Doran's Blade and rush to the bushes on your lane (I don't go mid with Garen,who does?). When the enemy is foolish/brave enough to come into the bush to check,I start off with an auto-attack,immediately with a Q(Decisive strike). If my enemy isn't THAT tanky yet,most probably half of his life would be shaved off in half a second. And if I have a trustworthy lane partner,most of the time we get off with the first blood. :)

Early game,if I don't have an annoying lane opponent like Caitlyn,I would be very happy hiding in the bushes and waiting for unsuspecting foes to stroll by,unloading my Q and E on them simultaneously. If my laning phase isn't half bad,I'll have a kill with Q,E,exhaust + ignite.Which makes Garen OP early-mid game.

After enjoying a dominating early-mid game,I prefer going tanky for late game,since I already have enough kills,I'd like a lot of assists too.makes my score sheet so much more colourful ^///^.

Although I only had the luxury to try out the 'Tanky Garen' build only a few times,I'd say its quite satisfying,I love the feeling of [Quote] People ulti-ing the shit out of me and think to myself "Meh,try again". - from a famous Garen player who wrote the guide 'Garen-Cry me an Ocean'.Don't remember much about it though,moving on.

As for now,I'm content with using Garen,I'll be looking for other tanky champs to troll people in LoL.I might come back and update on this post every now and then when I use him.Adios.

21 Jan game with friend (BernardNg)

Us getting blown out. :P

A dose of Ownage.8 doses to be exact. Lost 2 with each champ only to win the next 8 :D.

Didn't quite know where to post this since Garen and Mordekaiser were involved in this. In case anyone was wondering,yeah there are no other games that I played 'in between' these 9 matches. What makes this blog-worthy is that I lost my first 2 matches once with each,Garen and Mordekaiser. After that,it was a 7-game win streak. Feast your eyes on domination.
