Garen in League Classic
Champion Bio
On April 4th, 2010, League of Legends welcomed its 50th champion to the roster, Garen. His playstyle since has remained largely recognizable (barring some hiding-in-brush shenanigans), bursting into battle with sword raised and spinning to win. For new players and top lane veterans alike, Garen is a mainstay, always ready to fight for DEMACIAAA!!!
What Changed in Classic
- Demacian Justice (R) does magic damage
