Pikachu Wrote:Honestly, I feel as if Akali can trade off against Garen. I played this match up a couple of times and what I would do is Q Garen every opportunity I'd get so he'd almost always have a mark on him. When he does try to go for a Q, I generally start running, but if he's about to hit, I proc the mark and continue running. I think Akali's move speed is naturally faster than Garen's, so unless he starts off boots, you should avoid most of his E. In any case, constantly marking him then procing it when he does engage usually either has a fair or higher trade off in Akali's favor from what I've seen.
The most recent one Garen had several pink wards, but I still managed to out trade him (21/9/0 masteries) and won 2-0 before being constantly dived 3 man ganks with mid lane feeding :V.
Also Riven can easily Ki Burst -> AA -> Broken Wings away before Garen can hit his Q.
riven can easily run away, however as garen all you need to do is actually stand near your creeps instead of initiating a trade when q is up, riven cannot trade with you or burst you down. So either way she is forced to miss cs, and if she is going to get that cs you have more then enough chance to silence her since she is practically right next to you. Riven can easily harass>run away thus keeping your passive down, but riven is going to lose a lot of cs this way either way unless you are near your tower and assuming he pushes the wave
