How to Play Garen in ARAM Mayhem

Your job is to run at the enemy backline: open with Decisive Strike (Q) to shed slows and silence a key target, then spin with Judgment (E) through the group. Press Courage (W) when you take the big burst, and save Demacian Justice (R) to execute a low-health champion. Infinity Edge and Phantom Dancer push you into a crit build that makes Judgment hit much harder.
