Hard Counter

Fiora	Landing against Fiora is a bit hard for Garen to catch up because of her movement speed and her attack speed so she can easily kite and get out from Garen's Judgment.
Tryndamere	Tryndamere to avoid Garen Judgement in the early game because it's deal a lot of damage. When Tryndamere gets to level 6 Garen will do nothing to him.
