One of these champions is not usually played in this lane — treat the verdict as a rough guide.
How to play it
- Press early
Kassadin is stronger in the first levels — shove and deny farm.
- Long fights
Garen is a tank — build sustained damage and keep hitting; burst won't do it.
When you are in danger
- Full HP or back off
Garen's burst kills from half HP. No trades under 60%, and buy Banshee's Veil early.
