The answer to whether Legend Alacrity works on Garen is no, it does not benefit him significantly, as his E ability, also known as Decisive Strike, does not rely on attack speed to deal its damage, but rather Legend Alacrity provides attack speed, and Garen does not auto-attack frequently enough to make good use of it. Garen’s attack speed needs are specific and Legend Alacrity does not directly contribute to his primary damage output or his ability to spin, which is based on bonus attack speed from items and levels, not runes.
