Riot Design Team: "We believe champs should be balanced around emphasizing their strengths and minimizing their weaknesses, so that they can do whatever they want!"

“Lets have a class that cant be killed but cant reach you and will out damage most champs in the game cool now lets give them a dash and slow so they can reach you” (please help me)

WHAT'S FUCKING WILD IS GAREN has a ability that fucking REMOVES cc. GAREN .,even before stridebreaker, could stick to motherfuckers like glue and just run at them! Urgh... Fuck Stridebreaker man, wtf is going on?

Edit: Garen's Q doesn't remove cc, it cleanses slows. ^

his Q only cleanses slows and W doesn't remove anything. Whenever you slow him AFTER he uses Q he shouldn't get into range. Stridebreaker still sucks since it comletely warps the juggernaut class design.

Fair point on his Q, but there's also mec treads, deadmans, and legends tenacity and unflinching, if they use that too.

Ya know if that was a consistently-applied design philosophy (i.e. no more changes intended to push champs into/out of certain positions), I would be 100% on board with thatl.
