Summary of Gnar Design

Ahristocats··29 votes·1,699 views

let me introduce to you a champion designed to win 100% of the time against bruisers, not 99% but 100%. We gave him multiple full tools as a ranged champ we don't even know why. He already have 400 or 500 range which is a huge adventage in league but it's not enough. He also has a 35% slow on 1 or 2 seconds in late game, or without cooldown if buys frozen mallet. His "Hyper" gives him 30 / 45 / 60 / 75% bonus movement speed every times he lands 3 hits, 2 hits if he uses Q Teemo couldn't kit people enough, we needed something stronger against bruisers on top of his hop, Ekko is giving people troubles because of his slow+bonus ms but gnar? it's fine i'm telling that to you. What is also fine is him dealing 14% of your hp as magical damage with his "Hyper" that way if you buys armor you're also fucked up, if you buys hp you're even more fucked up

He's a ball of stat with in built attack speed steroid higher than pre-rework tristana HOP ATTACK SPEED: 20 / 30 / 40 / 50 / 60% 5.5 - 99 (based on level)% attack speed from his passive, we made this so he doesn't even need to build offensive items to destroy people why would he? he can just build 4 or 5 defensive items and press E to deal 180 (+ 6% maximum health) this is like 400 damage if he has 4k hp, it's only 20% of a squishy hp, i mean we nerfed shen because we wanted this dude to choose between offensive and defensive but we shouldn't say it, The dude is INNERTLY less tanky than mega gnar since gnar has like 1k bonus hp from his passive, and 40 armor/mr.

But you thought that this was all? no, if this was all Gnar might have fallen on teemo's level, being useless in teamfight. We needed to give him an amumu lvl of teamfight. With his 1.5 seconds AOE stun, a brand lvl of AOE damage and his ulti brings knock backs, even more stuns.

this summary is too big, let me rephrase it: we made a champion able to fullfie amumu's niche and whoever's niche at destroying bruisers. oh and we made him manaless cause ****you.

I hate it when people complain about Gnar like this. When you just list his entire kit in one go, it seems overloaded and overpowered, but the fact is he can only ever access 50% of that kit at once, and he has very limited control over which part of his kit he is accessing at which time.

If you describe any champion and lay out it's kit, they always seem OP.

how is that a downside?

He essentially has two kits, though...

Not to mention he's both a ranged top laner and a juggernaut at the same time, so yay, even harder to fight.

All that & these champions will destroy gnar completely obliterate him from existence and the gnar's player mentally too. Ekko Irelia Gangplank Fiora Akali Yasuo Trundle Riven Rumble Poppy Kled Jax Jayce Kayle Kennen Graves

So, basically fight cancer with cancer.

Thank you, doctor.

None of them really beat gnar other than a few exclusive ones.

Anything with multiple gap closers shits on Gnar. Fiora and her Parry craps on Gnar really hard. Jax is a bit of a skill matchup, but he can crap really hard on Gnar. GP and Kled can become problems if he makes a single mistake.

But yeah, he craps on a lot of people.

I can vouch that Kayle is a pain to deal with as Gnar after the 10 min mark.

Let me help out everyone with a TLDR:

Gnar is basically ranged furry Yasuo. Fuck Gnar.

i don't even remember seeing a gnar losing top lane tbh

i find that a good trundle can beat gnar in lane. his passive lets him resist gnar poke. and since you can force gnar to go hyper against you. you can fight him effectively. as with trundle pillar you can effectively keephim from running away. hell even when he is in mini forms your trundle pillar can force MINI gnar to fight you. W AA Q most right there gnar HAS to hop away. pillar him mid hop to stop it and you now have a gnar who either has to blow flash or die

oh hey gnar is about to go hyper and ult you into a wall? WR now he cant kill you and he just wasted all his burst. proceed to beat him to a pulp

Gnar has the damage of a fighter. and the cc of a pure tank.

LMAO. two AOE stuns. multiple slows. huge engage. free defensive and offensive stats.

hes a fighter. and a tank at the same time. wtf

Summary too long gg

I guess I should stop building damage items on Gnar...

I agree with you, but... Nothing can be done about this.. Riot wets his pants whenever champion is flashy or overloaded or mobile. And there's literally a Niagara in their pants if all of those 3 things are combined in 1 champion.

That moment when you used to one-trick Gnar, and people ignore his incredibly blatant weaknesses and just run around in circles saying he's op.

Imma just drop this here: http://champion.gg/champion/Gnar

I rocked one last night as Diana, actually turned out to be a REALLY easy matchup. Play around his Mega form, engage when it falls, press E if he tries to hop away.. It was actually way easier than I expected.

What if the Bruiser has burst and sticking power?
