@riot: will mini gnar receive some nerfs, if youre going to buff mega gnar?

his mega form is a massive window of power, and his mini form is supposed to be a window of weakness to balance him out. the counterplay to gnar in lane.

but being weak in ranged form really doesnt mean anything, if he is safe to play completely passive until hes about to transform again. a slow on his 3 sec cd boomerang, a 3 hit passive on auto attacks for a movment speed boost, and an ability that is essentially a free flash he can just sit on in case he ever gets ganked.

almost every gnar ive ever faced just overextends the shit out of his lane without fear of getting ganked by a jungler. because they know their boomerangs and their movement speed procs are enough to kite their opponent around in mini form. and in case a jungler shows up they can still rely on their hop as a get out of jail free card.

when are we supposed to be able to fight back against him, when he can just cs from a distance and reliably run away during the only time we could trade back against him without losing?

please consider removing gnars ability to single hop in mini form. he should always need a target for a double hop to be able to use the ability. this way he can keep his ability to engage with a double hop mid transformation into mega form but would be less safe to overextend or against counterengages while hes in mini form.
