You see the question, in my opinion and in my hands he feels kinda weak in comparison with other champions right now and i think he has a really cool kit but like i said he feels weak in soloq. Let me know your opinion on my best boy gnar

Velasan4 votesNone of the above.
When he was first released he didn't have a cool down on mega so you could play him both mid and top. At this point, however, he works best as an anti melee and anti tank counter for top lane.
In the current meta top lane is full of ranged champions and no tanks. He still excels at that job, but he doesn't do well against other ranged champions who are all in top lane right now including Kennen and some ADC's with mobility who can top lane.

Hemulen Magi1 votesI think his strengths are strong enough that he can't be buffed without making him overly frustrating, but if he gave up some power in the areas that make him annoying then he could get greater strengths in other areas.
To reduce his annoyance factor in top lane and free up power budget, he could have Mini-Gnar attack range reduced to 350 (Urgot level) at all levels instead of scaling up, he could have his Mini-Gnar W damage changed to physical and the movement speed reduced. Gnar would still be able to poke decently well with his Q, but that offers counterplay because it is a skill shot, and his shorter basic attack range would open up the possibility for melee retaliation/aggression when he pokes or tries to free farm.
In exchange, he could get considerably stronger base defenses and base AD for both Mini-Gnar and Mega-Gnar, and he could get to spend more time overall as Mega-Gnar (see R change below). His Mini-Gnar R could be restricted to use only when at least 50% rage, and it could be changed so that casting it causes Mini-Gnar to leap high in the air and instantly gain 50% rage, transforming into Mega-Gnar while airborne and then pile-driving back down, damaging and stunning targets in the area for 1 second. This would form an interesting engage combo when used with his other leap. The cooldown on his R could be reduced at early ranks also, allowing him to transform even more often. This would give Gnar more control of his transformations lategame and would open up more opportunities to engage teamfights as Mega-Gnar. His increased base defense scaling would help him survive on the front-line more effectively, which is fitting because his reduced attack range will also require him to position farther towards the front-line also. He'll fit better into team compositions which rely on top lane providing a beefy front-liner for proper teamfight formation.
BBKong1 votesHe's bad in solo queue because you need team coordination for his beast engages. Besides that, he's only good as a niche pick right now because plenty of things counter him and plenty of champs can safely play around his rage bar. I still love the design, but definitely a small change is needed.
xelaker1 votesHe's a real butt if he gets ahead
Saezio1 votesI guess you can play him with cleaver and attackspeed with PtA and try to cheese games. Maybe HoB? IDK feels like if you master the champ you can overcome his weaknesses in any elo bellow diamond 3 or so. He is really easy to counterpick though for experienced players.
