Gnar wins by default regardless of skill.
can go either way skill lane
I used to play Yasuo a lot, and there is no way he would win versus a competent Gnar.
Despite having "infinite dashes," Yasuo is probably one of the easier melee champions to kit provided that you do not stand in a crowd of minions. As well, if the situation goes sour for Gnar, he can always change to mega form and jump on Yasuo.
Due to his many nerfs, Yasuo cannot fight ANY other melee champions in a fair one on one fight early on. (Low health, useless W against melee attacks, no reliable CC)
Of course, if I do have to play this match up, I will put a point in sweeping blade first then steel tempest at level 2 to try to cheese Gnar with fully stacked E and Q combo at level 1 and 2 to force a transformation so he cannot do so later when Yasuo temporary dips in power before acquiring static shiv.
As well, I would probably bring exhaust instead of ignite to this fight, since it can be both used to damper Gnar's kiting and to escape from his mega form.
In my opinion, you should very rarely play Yasuo top lane in general, he's not a fighter nor will he ever be. Place a Darius or Irelia top lane, and that Yasuo has a pretty impossible chance of winning, same with a bunch of other picks.
Well, I think it would come down to what you want to do more, yes?
Gnar to me seems to be the tanky/distruptor, while Yasuo is the one who explodes the enemy squishy threats.
Although, I almost always see Yasuo mid as he seems to get stone-walled by a lot of current top laners.
If you want another manaless top lane use Zed instead
Yasuo used to be a decent top pick but has eaten too many nerfs to be good up there unless you have a retarded amount of practice with the matchups
I guess I'll buy Gnar then. Thank you everyone!
gnar likes to build attack speed and damage, making his w proc more dangerous, even if yas dashes out, he has to deal with gnar catching up with him. And also mega gnar to worry about makes it the theme having to change a lot during battle
