Striking killing blows on minions with Disintegrate enables Annie to farm extremely well early in the game.
Storing a stun for use with her ultimate can turn the tide of a team fight.
Advice to Understand How Garen Will Play
Garen is only constrained by cooldowns, making items such as Black Cleaver very effective for him.
Garen's regeneration greatly increases if he can avoid receiving damage for several seconds.

Overall, Annie sees a large worsening in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Garen. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN.

When Annie tries to synergize with Garen, she observes a little drop in her complete damage output. This may indicate that Garen doesn't help protection for her to deal more damage or that his support also helps extend the match's duration. Similarly, when Annie is played alongside Garen on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when she plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing with Garen.
Moreover, when Annie plays with Garen on the same team, she typically takes a little less damage than when she fights alone. Getting dealt not as much damage may indicate that Garen does a decent job of protecting Annie during teamfights.

Working cooperatively, you should observe an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal magical damage. Combined, these champs are able to dish out a surprising amount of magic type damage.
Although, by grouping Annie and Garen together, you may not be giving your team enough anti-tank damage dealing potential. Make sure to include other champions on your team that fills this relative gap in their abilities.
Regardless of your Garen ally's skill level, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
