Gnar Top is annoying AF

Half the time, I'm dealing with a Teemo with more range and poke who can leap the entire lane's length away from me. The other half, I'm dealing with a CCbot w/ free resistances.

Rito pls why did you create this abomination?

He is a terrible champion to play against, but he's nothing like what he was in season 5. I'll never forget those days of terror, and when I saw them buff his Q so hard in the patch notes I almost vomited.

Truth be told he's actually op when played at a decent level, and as soon as the ADC meta ends he'll be S tier.

It's hard to beat him in lane, and he has a great teamfight, but the key is playing around his transformation. Because he has little control over when he transforms, you can play around the advantages and disadvantages of each form. For example, a smart jungler should try to gank Gnar while he's Mega, because Mega Gnar's jump is much shorter than Mini Gnar's. Conversely, if your team is dancing around an objective with the enemy team and you see the enemy Gnar cool down back to Mini, that's probably the best time to fight them as he will be locked out of what is essentially his team fighting form for a while.

I can't tell you how many times my team has gotten into a fight and I'm stuck in Mini form, it's actually somewhat challenging for teams to coordinate their fights with their Gnar's transformation.
