Ive been hearing about this for some time now, even nerfplz says he is god tier but i just dissmised it as fotm, but last game a YORICK was beaten out of lane because he was OUT HARASSES AS YORICK, and fed all game because he would just get jumped on in mega form at 1/3 hp. Now normaly i have no issue with gnar and just pick jax/renek/jayce and wreck his furry ass but everything i find says he's op
DrCyanide2 votesBecause he stopped being new.
Only people who genuinely like Gnar play Gnar now, and those players are getting good with him. The same thing for Azir, except Azir's still being held back by a bunch of bugs/weird behavior on casting abilities. I don't think it means these champions are OP, just that people have come across so few good players that when a good player does show up they don't know what to do about it.

Minuano1 votesHe is just extremely oppressive. It's very difficult to lose lane when playing Gnar because he can safely kite and chunk his lane opponent. When he becomes Mega Gnar he can do a deceptively high amount of damage while also becoming extremely tanky. He has an amazing lane phase and is extremely good in teamfights when he is in his mega form.
ScurvyNave1 votesJust wanted to add that Gnar is much like the old Nidalee and Jayce where he has strong poke, fast escapes/ engage abilities, and upfront burst potential in fights. The fact that he doesn't rely on mana for his abilities make him that much more an easy champion to sustain in top lane.
As a Gnar player I won't lie that landing phase is almost always easy for me (late game might get tricky in mini form) but this may be because I spammed Gnar for like 2 weeks after I got him.
-IMO people just need to find those one or two champs who just wreck him in lane. It's probably not a classical tank since Gnars often build 
, in fact I faced an 
in top lane and she wrecked me in the landing phase and 
is a hard match up as well
