Gnar Q

I hate how his q slows. If you do gapclose on to him, he just hops away and and slows you with q and keeps autoing until he procs his w passive. Does he really need c on his q in conjunction with his w speed up, I thought cc was supposed to be a mega gnar thing? :(

Yeah too many overloaded kits these days... especially on manaless champions. What gives lol..

He already has so much counterplay. You know exactly when he's going to transform. And he's not the only top laner with a slow. Rumble also has one (and again skillshot) but no one complains about it.

DrMundo Q has:

a lesser cd (even if Gnar catches his Q, Mundo still has a lesser CD) slows for 40% at rank 1 (Gnar's slow scales 15/20/25/30/35%) it always chunks because it's % current health It costs health, but half of it is refunded if you hit ANYTHING (yes this includes minions)

Gnar Q does have the advantage in that it goes through minions (dealing 50% reduced damage if it does so) and it actually scales with AD (although nobody actually builds AD on him)

But the slow isn't that bad

Personally from my experience, dodging Gnar Q is a lot more easier as well, but that's from my perspective playing against Gnar.

Now, Azir Q slow I don't like. If you get hit by 2 soldiers, that's a 50% slow, plus he gets to stab you in the butt for (usually) 20-40% of your max hp.

they already nerfed the damage, the best way to beat a gnar is to juke the Q and go in when hes going to try and grab the returning boomerang

Gnars Q is fine. In mini form, he's squishy enough to die to pretty much any gapcloser + CC after he uses Hop.

no man should have that range, and without costs, no damage reduction for each unit hitting it before it reach it's Target and on cooldown, and it also slows.

just a bit too much mashed up in 1 skill, i mean most poke spells that has long range, like Sivir's Q, Varus's Q Twitch's R do Reduced damage for each hit enemy unit to a certain percentage, though, his mega gnar makes more sense to slow with a Q.

i'm not whining or requesting any form of nerfs, but i'm just starting to get really confused from the way Riot Makes/Balance Champions nowdays.

If he wasn't so overloaded and obnoxious you might actually have fun fighting him/playing top lane. Can't have that.

  1. His Q JUST got nerfed. He can't spam it as much anymore
  2. It barely does any damage. He's not really chunking you with it.
  3. He has his own drawbacks. Mini-gnar is one of the few champions weak to pokes AND all ins. Mega-gnar has the cc , but he doesn't enjoy anyone who avoids it because it leaves him super exposed.
