How to play it

✓

Dodge his Q

Save your E for his Q cooldown: respect that engage and you free-harass him the whole lane.

✓

Bully him early

You out-harass him pre-items: like Darius, Garen should never be able to touch you.

✓

Leave side lane

Once he has two items he hard-wins side lane and can dive you solo: rotate out and force 5v5s.

✕

Sit in the side lane past his two-item spike: that's when he can tower-dive you on his own.
