Why Gnar is good

I like to point out that mini gnar is not as weak as most people think. He is ranged as a top laner + Has MS and AS and range in his passive that increases gradually. Has bonus MS in ult's passive. Boomerang that slows and helps to farm and escape A non-targetable bounce that can be used to bounce twice if used on a unit/champ. Gives AS as well.

Mega Gnar i do not need to go deep into as to how insanely powerful he is with tons of CC and damage hence why a certain requirement is needed to transform otherwise it would be broken.

My problem is that i agree that mega Gnar should be strong because of the requirement of fury but why is it that mini gnar is not vulnerable? He is impossible to catch out because of his boomerang and bounce. The bounce helps him in ganks as well as he can hop onto jungler to get another hop and then throw boomerang to slow and escape. All mini gnar needs to do is farm and in mega form initiate. If by chance you catch him out and beat the shit out of him, he gains fury and transforms. Then you better not initiate if your vulnerable to CC. I mean why the hell hitting him generates fury? What kind of outplay potential is that lel?

It is not fair to give champs like ekko and gnar everything in their kit and some champs are left to rot (i am looking at you teemo). Riot i am not saying to nerf gnar but there is something called balancing so people can play a champ and rely on their skills and not the champ's skill only. I am not saying gnar is broken but i think the mini form should be vulnerable if the mega form is so invulnerable.

Lastly gnar is never banned but there is a reason why he is chosen by professionals.

Gnar struggles with Champs that can enage on him when they want to for instance Irelia . Even if gnar hops away irellia can stick on to him and when he is in mino form he Is easily bursted.Riven Jax can also abuse his e's long cd with cc of their own to follow up. gnar does well against champs who are very telegraphed when they are going in. Even with this gnar has counterplay that his slow is a skill shot that is stopped by minons and his hop has a high CD. He has low range for a range champ thus he has to come into retaliation range if he want to do major harass.

The boomerang can pass through minions and slow you but only does damage once i.e. the returning of boomerang won't do damage if you've already taken damage by it.

I agree with you that he has weakness but i am sure a good gnar won't initiate until it's in mega form and hitting him just generates more fury. That is one thing i find weird because everyone wants to deal damage to win so why does he indirectly benefit from that? I am not too sure how those champs you mentioned would do against mega gnar. He also has a very high skill learning cap which is good. I am not being a fussy little %%%% but seriously if riot gives too much outplay potential in a single champ like ekko then other champs feel nerfed. I mean leblanc and ekko, zed and etc have way too much in their kit. Whereas yasuo is perfectly balanced in his abilities but has way too much raw stats i.e. double crit. It feels too one sided if you play with champs that have none of that. Thanks for your reply.

Hes not. he feels awful to play now. What is the point of his late game when his spells are too damn long early game?

I am nearly forced to build pure tank mostly these days because of how easy he blows up with this stupid damage going on for now two seasons.
