So I have some points to bring out with this Gnar . Actually have more cc than leona in his kit (2 stuns, 2 slows), an escape, scale late game, have % hp, NO MANA COST. how can you deal with that in-lane, you cant all-in him cause he kites you to death, but if you wait too long he just litterally prohib you to farm under your tower, and can tower dive you level 2 cause of his passive ( take armor runes, hp runes and just jump out when your 100 hp). After he wrecked you in-lane he excells in team-fights because he's unpredictable, with a lot of tankiness,damages outputs, peel, escapes, etc. Seriously, where are his weaknesses?

Yes also i'm silver 4 but I think diamonds and even chalengers will agree with this: if you know how to play him, he have no weaknesses.

Please, upvote, i want that 10 times more cancer champ than old Kassadin or old Nidalee to be nerfed.

P.S: don't judge my grammar, english isn't my native language :P

Yes he really needs nerfs, there is a reason he is one of the 3 most banned champions in high elo. He has long range poke, burst, CC, amazing mobility, mix of physical and magic damage, % health damage, tankyness, health sustain and no mana costs. He's basically a ranged Irelia with more CC.

I absolutely hate fighting him. He's really irritating to lane against. Super unfun.

  1. If he's kiting you to death during laning phase, you're just bad. His AA range is less than Teemo's and Q does pitiful damage.
  2. How is he unpredictable? You can tell when he's going to transform. Just back off and wait 15 secs for it to fade. Bam, he just lost most of his damage and cc, feel free to wail on him.
  3. Play SMART, not hard.
  4. Pick Darius , Irelia , Jayce , Pantheon , MonkeyKing , Zed , Riven There are others, these are just the best options.

And just a couple of weeks ago you would have been downvoted into oblivion to even suggest Gnar was decent, let alone OP. Let's see what happens when yoloque catches up with the Gnar players.

Gnar's a very interesting and powerful team-fighting champion. I'd like to see him be played (in pro games) due to the play making potential of his mega form. However, he's just a little too overwhelming right now in lane.

I think his Q (perma) slow needs to be changed.

  • In his small form, I don't think the slow is necessary at all because, assuming Q is purely intended for poke, he already has his W's movement speed boost to stay within auto-attack range. I think Q could be updated to be like Sivir's Q where it can deal (reduced) damage twice (and POSSIBLY slow if it hits twice).

  • In his mega form, I'm fine with the slow, but I think the range is somewhat long.

I think the rest of his kit is fine mechanically, but numbers may need tweaked.

Nidalee though is f***ing digusting now.

It is even worse then the old one. You land your spear which now deals terrific damage and then you jump over half the map to take poor fella down. She is now even more toxic then the old nida.

But to the topic. I gate gnar from the bottom of my soul. His design, kit everything. I hate him even more than Teemo. This little spawn of devil does deserve to be 0/12 in every game.

Oh why oh why did I buy him.
