What's up with Gnar?

HudnofskiBleh·Jun 6, 2017·2 votes·808 views

Is he worth picking up? I've heard people say he's good, and others say he's not, so if anyone could explain why he is good or not good that would be appreciated.

why pick gnar when you can have fiora/kennen/darius/galio/shen ect. Just broken shit beyond belief exists in top lane right now and gnar isnt one of them

His main draw is a mana'less champion that can poke and in mega he can all in you with natural beefieness. He is one of those annoying harass types that can't really have any flaws in style which lets him be both a poker harasser and a initiator in one.

Gnar will beat Fio any day. 50/50 with Darius now that that stupid movement speed buff mastery is in the game. He used to really hurt darius prior to that. Kennen typically will lose to gnar too. I've never personally lost to a Galio or Shen either. He has amazing lane and even if he's behind he can still be an incredible play maker late.

as a gnar main he can beat every top laner besides fiora(fuck fiora)if you know what your doing if you don't want to spend a ton of time learning everything about gnar don't pick him up

You joking? You're a Gnar main and you're losing to Fiora? Gnar shits on her breakfast lunch and dinner.

it depends on the skill level of the fiora if they are decent or bad its an easy lane if they main her or she is their second best champ gnar loses unless you manage your rage perfectly while playing passive so she cant engage on you

I will play any Fio main as Gnar and I will maintain that I would probably win 75% of the time.

Gnar is a counter to tanks. If you see the enemy plays a tank then choose him. Otherwise he's a bad pick in the current meta.

100% disagree. Gnar is in the meta. Otherwise I wouldn't be sitting with a roughly 60% win% with him.

If your good at him then your winrate with him will always be good even if he isn't in meta. Your just out preforming the other top laners

He's fine, it's just that there's like 5-10 top lane champs better than him right now.

Yes. He is a really fun champ with an interesting gameplay pattern that opens up a lot of options and allows for fun decision making.

Gnar is the best overall champion out there. He's not amazing at 1 thing, but he does many things very well. He has his tough match ups like anyone else, but the fun part is you can avoid fights all together with his Q range. Not saying you're going to farm well all the time with that, but he can surprise people after building up and not feeding. For example: Gnar loses Pantheon early. Like, really early. But by staying alive and getting enough farm to get Tabi and maybe an extra cloth, you can beat him by lvl 6 if you poke enough with Q then all-in him when mega. His shield wont block any of mega gnar's skills. Do the same to Darius . Play a smart early game and come out on top after 6.

Then he totally shits on champions like Aatrox Illaoi Fiora Mordekaiser Nasus Yorick . Any champ with little to no gap closing or escapes. Always sit on your E. Never use it offensively unless you know 100% you're going to kill him. If they go in on you, don't underestimate the power of AA E Q for making space. Not only does this give you distance, but movement speed and slow on top of that. You can either from there Q AA AA poke and run them down from there, or if you don't feel like its a good spot, just keep running. It's amazing how much space well timed E will give you on him.
