The main reason to ban him, though, is his safety net of an ultimate, which rewinds him to wherever he was four seconds prior with fuller health and some damage to his opponents on return. This kind of sustainability can make him uniquely hard to kill, and a good obstacle to just avoid entir
Garen's passive, Perseverance, allows Garen to regenerate a percentage of his maximum health every 5 seconds. However, if Garen is hit by an enemy or an enemy ability, he will have to wait 8 seconds for the ability to return. This ability is very useful because it allows Garen to frequently and confidently exchange hits with the enemy without having to waste time in base healing as a result. When Perseverance is active, Garen will have glowing green particles fly around him and a little icon will appear above the Champion i

The first variation is classic where a ring of fire encloses on an area of the map, the two teams must battle it out until only one team is left standing. The second variation is Paranoia, where both teams must still fight in the enclosing circle, but all players are nearsighted for the duration of the event. The last variation is Juggernaut.

These two players receive bonuses to attack speed, adaptive power, and mana regeneration but are more vulnerable to damage. In all three variations, teamwork is key, but in Juggernaut especially you will have to focus the enemy juggernaut as a team before you can pick off the r

Blitzcrank is far from an unusual ban target, and there are certainly tons of strategies against him as he’s been in the game since the very beginning. But just because something’s old doesn’t mean it can’t still work, and Blitzcrank is far from being sent to the scrapyard anytime s
However, as this meme from Reddit showcases using an edited comic from Owlturd , failure can make it much easier to just leave the lane to those who know it. You should never let one failure determine your entire future, but sometimes it’s more relaxing to just go back to your usual r
At the start of the match, purchase a Doran's Shield and healing potion along with a ward for the lane. For your early game items, purchase a Phage, Kindlegem, and Boots of Speed of course.
