Can't you do something about Gnar?

Why is a champion allowed to build full tank, while also dealing damage and at the same time be a great teamfighter? If you get hit by a Q once you have 2 options: you either run away and get hit by another one because you can't dodge his second Q while you are still slowed by the first one or you could try to fight him. If you try fighting him you must be prepared to lose 14% of your health every 3 autos because tanks should have % health damage on basic attacks. If somehow you manage to deal more damage than him, he'll just use his hop and proceed to perma kite you again. You may think that fighting him in his MEGA form is better. But of course Riot had to give him increased armor, magic resistance and base AD while in MEGA form. And his skills scale with total AD so he doesn't need to build actual damage items to deal serious damage. "But his abilities are skillshots, you can dodge them". I can dodge them, but I need to wait 5 minutes before queuing up again.

Q cd is not low enough that you haven't recovered by cd unless he also has FM

Building bruiser is not full tank.

His teamfights only good if he can mega.

His % hp is magic so it doesn't work with black cleavers armor shred.

Plenty of champions top lane hard counter him such as Jayce and Camille

This is because Gnar is a snowball champ. You shouldn't try to 1v1 him if you aren't absolutely positive you'll win that trade. He needs to be allowed to push and then ganked. After his first death you can farm freely and wait for him to try harassing you / pushing up lane again only to be ganked again. Most people who play Gnar think in the same pattern, harass and push wave. "Since he has his hop to escape nothing can go wrong." What I'm trying to say is when facing snowball champs, communicate with your jungler in the pregame lobby. Tell him that Gnar will probably shove the lane to tower and harass you under tower, he'll be like "alright i'll come top immediately" if he's a good boy. If not then I would try picking a champ that can sustain in lane, like Garen, GP, Mundo, Morgana or Irelia.

Its not like they've nerfed him just recently. Q cd refund flat 40% from ult passive, FM range app made much weaker.

The nerf was just as significant as Zoe's Q cooldown nerf.
