Gnar

Gnar My Thoughts Gnar is a really fun champion to play, hes my main and regardless of the fact that I'm in bronze I still think he can be changed to see some more play and fit more into the upcoming top lane carry creeping its way into the meta. I think he honestly needs a buff hes kit is fine and requires learning but he just cant stand hes own against other top lane bruisers like yasuo, fiora, tryndamere, and more. Most of Gnar's kit revolves around he's insane kiting potential and that's good and fine its like kindred or any adc but look at kindred and lucian some of the most popular high elo picks for their own roles ofcourse but there kiting is focused around moving and kindred q and lucians e which are both really low cool downs but Gnar all he has is e and q while q has a channel time and e has a very high cool down that cant be spammed like kindred q and lucians e and with champs with high move speed and can get in your face and lock you down or slow you its very difficult to feel like you can even breath with know that they can do whatever they want to you unless you camp tower and even so sometimes that doesnt even work (ex: trynd and fiora)

What I think needs to happen I think Gnar needs maybe the channel from he's q removed and also for the cooldown on hes e to be lowered I don't find it necessary for that to be so high even with max points into it you cant spam it and you may think why should he be able to spam it well yasuo and fiora (again for example) can spam theirs and even if you remove the double jump half of it that would be fine also maybe turning it into like a volibear q where is increases movement speed for a short duration I also find it very annoying how Gnars q work it comes back on the first thing it hits very meta champs like ekko has a q that goes to max range comes back and procs his passive that would help Gnar very much with wave clear and fighting my final buff or suggestion is for maybe a mastery buff or something that would work really well for Gnar I think that every mastery Gnar can use is ok which is Grasp, Fevor, and Thunderlords none are really "ohh im playing Gnar im totally gonna go _______ in my masteries"

Final Words I hope some mod or someone with any chance to actually put this in consideration that would be so nice and I would really love that anyway thanks for listening to this bronze I guess cya on the rift

P.S you also build tank on Gnar and you just get destroyed by by people in mini Gnar form so maybe some buffed armor scaling/ad or something along those lines, basically just something that actually benefits you for building armor

I have 200k mastery points on Gnar. I doesn't make me an expert on the matter, but here is what I think:

  1. Gnar is sitting in a very, very good spot in terms of balance. He has alot of power in his kit, alot of CC.
  2. The reason Gnar is sooooo unpopular, (and I mean it doesn't matter which elo, you are bronze, I'm in gold 2) I barely EVER see a Gnar in DynQ, is because of how high the learning curve is for him. Man, I remember picking him up last season, and I took my so many games before I got the hang his rage bar. I think his complexity makes him a non-newbie friendly champ.
  3. I think Gnar should stay as he is. If you look his stats up on Op.gg, you can see he sits around the 50% mark on alot of aspects.

I would just like.... longer auto range than darius hook, since gnar is supposed to counter guys like darius. He still does but I feel like his auto range is insanely short early on.

Ok looking at review I can see how some of this is a little greedy but he could use a slight buff

Frankly, I'm glad that ranged manaless toplane cancer is out of the meta.

I'll take any buff for him. XD but all I really want is at least increased range. He's such a soft target that I don't think his short range is justified.

Gnar is underused because they nerfed his full potential so u gotta buy a gnar skin to play good because of skintimidation then bam their like "wtf" and ur like "what duh fuqh how i dew dah??????" or pay for some private lessons.
