How to play it

✓

Deny his short trade

His Q into E short trade in the first three levels is his only window to win: walk out of his Judgment spin and don't let him combo you.

✓

Your kill window

Once you unlock all three abilities you run him down, and with your ult up he dies almost every time you drag him into the Death Realm.

✓

Check his runes

If he doesn't run Stormraider's Surge he has no way out: he dies easily the moment you commit.

✕

Never let Garen short-trade you in the first three levels: that is the only window he has to win this lane.
