How is Mini-Gnar a unique playstyle?

He plays just like a marksmen.

"Hey well Gnar doesn't really want to use his E if he is going to transform soon and he also wants to set up for an ultimate".

Well why is Mega Gnar specifically labeled as a Vanguard?

"Hey well Gnar doesn't want to use his E to go in if he is going to transform soon and he also wants to set up to kite".

Also how is Jayce an artillery mage? Because he has one long range ability? It isn't as useful in comparison to all other artillery mage abilities if we are talking about range poke/burst. He spends time up close as well and casts a bunch of stuff. I'd put him in skirmisher primary.

gnar has a short range for a ranged champ you have to always watch your rage and keep vision because if you turn mega with no vision 9/10 you gonna die he doesn't have an ult in mini and most of his damage comes from his q unless you go for a pure damage item then his w is where all your damage is at

Gnar plays like a marksmen regardless of having shorter range, like Lucian or Vayne. Having shorter range doesn't mean you don't want to kite (a key marksmen thing). Kindred still wants to kite.

Boomerang/W doing more damage or auto attacks depends on build. Regardless of situations where Q deals more damage you still want to auto attack in between so you're still kiting. He isn't fully caster based, still needs auto attacks, still needs kiting, marksmen.

I'd say rage mechanics are whatever. Only when I am close to turning into mega Gnar is when the playstyle becomes unique because you have to ask yourself more questions. Until than you're just a marksmen.

Not a lot of champions can corral an entire enemy team while dps'ing them before jumping in for a wombo combo.

Not a lot of champions can deal consistent DPS from range, the champions that can are usually called marksmen. Mega Gnar has his own category btw which I think is great, definitely a Vanguard that can jump in for a wombo combo. Before Mega Gnaring I would consider the champion marksmen.
