Gnar has just been buffed, Rito?

Patch 7.6 notes

OKay, Gnar is one of those champions that automatically wins laning phase, has no counters, cannot be out-traded, and if you somehow succeed you get cucked by his buffed hp regen. He is also strong at all stages of the game, he has point-and-click ranged slow with item 3022 thus he has just been used to a great degree in LCS, why are we seeing buffs to this, even more annoying, Yordle than Teemo?

Cept his actual weakness is his lack of durability while in his mini form, which is why people hard engage on him.

easy to stop his jump and the he has no escape, the latest nerfs to him and mallet took him out of contention and being a near bottom pick.

Are you sure you're not mentally stuck a few patches back?

Are you sure watched LCS just 5 days ago?

One game doesn't make broken. Someone pulling a pocket pick doesn't = back to top tier.

Competitive play=top tier. When is the last time you saw ''supposedly the hardest counter that is Nasus'' in LCS? Soaz could have picked him 5 days ago yet he picked Rumble and went 0/5. 'Nuff said.

Are you honestly that dense to believe people don't pick comfort/pocket picks in the LCS because it's unexpected regardless the fact that it's not meta?

Ex: Looper has picked his main pocket champion, singed... That doesn't make him top tier broken status. Also just because he played a bad rumble game doesn't make the champion worse than gnar, but i assume you make these dumbass complaints because you only play Nasus/mundo.

I never said that the fact Gnar has been picked in LCS 5 days ago makes him ''top tier broken status''. I'm just saying that there are many champions who Gnar beats easily, who haven't been meta for a really long time and that could use buffs too now that Gnar is getting buffed. Adding to that there are two champions that fit said criteria, both released in 2009 and without a single rework for 8 years (and counting). Yes, you guessed it right: Nasus and DrMundo .

One match alone is never statistically relevant.

Maybe, but pros play this game 12h every day, they have hundreds of Gnar matchups played before having the confidence to play it on stage. So one game played professionally and (almost) single handedelly destroying FNC Soaz means a lot more than you think. And this was prior to the buff, mind you.

So that Soraka can sit solo on the throne of lowest health regeneration. Now all we need is for Mordekaiser to get a boost to his per/lv regen to truly eliminate all competition. Make it happen Rito!

Which doesn't stop people from building items with a % bonus to base health regen. Oh the irony.

Gnar has counters. Gnar has been sitting at a really low winrate since his nerfs. Its good to give him some love. HP regen isn't the end of the world considering his base stats are really low compared to others.

All these guys are not meta (not even Camille with the latest nerf), and are practically useless in mid-late game, which is why they aren't picked in pro play. Jayce is the only one who can be considered a good matchup and a decent champion, however he's in meta.

no meta? lul

  1. teemo is always in meta.. he is rito gem 2.Jayce is the most broken pick at the moment.. specially with lethality 3.pantheon too 4.graves is meta .. 5.trynda is strong against him anyways.. 6.mundo feels no damage from him. 7.jax can outplay him 8.jarvan is meta because of lethality
  2. camille is not useless at all, she is still very strong and can kill a gnar early game easily.

  1. backed up by 0% pick rate
  2. lethality got nerfed, but I do agree Jayce is a strong pick overall
  3. backed up by 0% pick rate
  4. graves jungle is meta, not top
  5. backed up by 0% pick rate
  6. backed up by 0% pick rate
  7. backed up by 0% pick rate
  8. as I've already said lethality got nerfed, and J4 is also not picked professionally yet
  9. cammile is getting nerfed, but I do agree she's strong pick

So you got Jayce and Cammile all in all, both are already meta and getting nerfed. Don't think a champion deserves buffs if he has only 2 competitive counters, there are many who can't be played competitively (you mentioned 7 of them) and have many more counters, yet Gnar got buffed. I don't think that's fair, that's why I made the post in the first place.

all your facts are no sense... lol u are 0 GNAR him self is almost 0 pick rate... i didn't see a gnar almost a year now... lol

Maybe my facts don't make sense because I've been responding to nonsense you said first.

u are 0

Thank you for the insult, although you could have at least given an effort to do it.

GNAR him self is almost 0 pick rate... i didn't see a gnar almost a year now... lol

Maybe because you don't know what you are talking about, Gnar has been picked in this season 4 times and banned once. Why that matters is because of what I already said:

there are many who can't be played competitively (you mentioned 7 of them with 0% pick rate) and have many more counters, yet Gnar got buffed.
