Gnar . He's easy as hell, and does a lot of damage for being really tanky. Just get a item 3076 /item 3123 /item 3155 /item 3211 for lane (situational- get item 3076 against ad people that have a good amount of auto attack based damage in their kit, item 3123 against Vladimir or DrMundo or the like, get item 3155 if you're winning your lane and item 3211 if you're behind). Then just rush item 3071 -item 3022. After that upgrade your lane item (not item 3155 , though. Upgrade that after you get your item 3071 -item 3022 item). Look for as many good summoner 4 -ult as possible, preferably on the most important person on their team, and you just win the teamfight. Bring Press The Attack and start item 1036 item 2003 item 2003 item 2003. Also, if you think you're fed enough you could get a item 3153 , or a item 3091 . But try to normally get item 3091 , since it amplifies the damage on your W since it shreds MR, and your W scales off AP. Also, item 3053 isn't a bad purchase for when you engage, so that you don't get blown up (inb4 I get called a dumbass for recommending item 3053 , a melee-only item, on Gnar , you're still allowed to purchase it because of your mega form).

Anyways, that's how I play Gnar . Do with this guide what you will, and constructive criticism in the comments is appreciated! [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

Playing Gnar doesn't fix the overall problem though.

As a Garen main I agree with this. Gnar can do really well, and when you're not good at playing top lane he is safe enough that you can just stall out the lane and safely wait for your team to rescue you. You're a team fight power house anyway, so you don't really need to carry in the lane phase.

If you're actually good at top lane you probably don't need the advice, but Gnar would be even better in your hands then.

im gonna be the one to spoil your dreams of making a revolutionary build. black cleaver or frozen mallet rush is still the way to go. does more dmg and brings more tank than any of those

I wouldn't recommend rushing mini thronmail anymore after this patch. The reflect damage is being changed on it to purely scale off of bonus armor, meaning the damage won't do anything until you've got at least another armor item. Sunfire Cape rush is going to come back

You mean playing a tank when tanks are good?

What a shocker, gnar is not a bruiser that relied on fervor, of course hes not doing bad.

Hes a tank that doubles as a ranged lane bully, hes in the cancer tier along with maokai, ornn and cho, those champs are making figthers unplayable.
