Who's Idea was it...to create a champion called Gnar?

Like seriously... Who's Idea was it to create a champion that has:

Range with mobility (hops away) that also has a utility which would be slow movement speed(Q), to stun (W) and to double stun within 1 second( W+R).

Not only that, a Ranged champion who has the ability to attack faster AND move faster just by hitting 3 times.

A champion who's capable of trolling you when you feel like you're about to get the kill till the moment he hops away in a far distance.

adding a plus which would be the fact that he's granted some healing when he turns into an obnoxious monster.

Who's Idea was it to create this champion into the top lane meta where over 90% of our top lane champions are Melee?

Not seeing the problem with gnar, beat him out early a few times, take your lane, move to mid or invade Jung. It isn't a difficult issue, nor is he difficult as a lane opponent for anyone aside from maybe tryndamere in my experience. Most tops beat him out early by a long shot either simply by counter kits or easy counter play (renekton, Darius, shyvana, teemo, wu, fiora, xin, etc) and those that don't (nasus, singed, etc) scale better and are generally used as farmers anyhow.

Wasn't advice, just pointing out he just scales Iike shit and isn't hard to beat in lane.

Gnar factors into every single professional match this year. He is either banned or he's played in every single game. And when he isn't and the team loses the broadcasters will bring up the fact that things may have been different if the losing team had chosen Gnar first.

Gnar is way overpowered.

Can we just remove the fact that he can double stun in a second? -.-

he probably stole CertainlyT's USB flash drive and copied his ideas to make himself look top shit in front of his boss and crew members.

Copy pasted Vi's % hp W and took the idea of 0 counterplay CC to the next level

Seems like he's just evolving Vi to me

if he wanted to do that he could just enforce a buff on Vi

MB, Gnar hasn't got enough passives to be a CertainlyT creation :p
