any competent gnar is automatically op.

please say he's not. slow, speed boost on 3 hits AND percent health magic damage that's impossible to itemize against, a gapcloser/escape tool that doubles in distance if bounced, a huge damage increase to q when in mega, a stun in his w, a gapclose/escape tool and a massive displacement that really isn't that hard to get considering there are walls and obstacles everywhere.

any jungler thats smart knows if they camp for the gnar in their lane he's gonna get fed, and then become an unstoppable cc monster that manages to top damage charts with only one half finished damage item.

how gnar isn't considered extremely toxic and gamebreakingly frustrating in general i don't know. inb4 squish. q+e op in tandem.

lately new champions have been getting overloaded with cc that would otherwise leave their kits fairly manageable. and honestly cc wouldn't be a huge idea if half of them were knockups which are uncleanable, or have multiple forms of it so you can't sash it away without getting hit with another.

velkoz(very overbearing even though he's my main and i love him) has a knockup that will absolutely demolish anyone 1v1 as long as it is saved for when someone initiates. reksai literally has a knockup every time he submerges in the ground, which might not seem like a big idea, but considering he also has a massive gap closer in his e AND flash so if he doesn't land at you with his e he can just flash w and get a kill for his lane. gnar has 2 stuns, insane tank synergy(which normally i would love), but also stupidly good sustained damage that requires no items built to make it effective.

the only champion i've seen that hasn't gone super overboard with overloaded kits is braum. sure he was strong when he came out, but after getting fine tuned he's now where he should be. a strong counterpick to the champions that have been in the meta for 2-3 years(thresh and leona)

seems like a lot of champions i want to play at top got invalidated by two manaless knockup/cc having champs that came out in the last 6 months.

if i see a gnar i can no longer play any melee that also doesn't have an equally overloaded kit, i,e LeeSin Jayce Nidalee

"please say he's not." Ok, he's not. But he is cute as f. :3

i think they need to nerf the distance on his boomerang and make him have to go pick it back up if he misses it and wants to use it again. Also when he tries to throw it through a wall it should get stuck on top like a frisbee on a roof lolz.

"Gnar is automatically OP unless you counter pick him with champs like these" I mean you can call their kits OP and cry more on top of your gnar QQ but you can't try to tell me quinn is OP and she counters gnar.
