Nobody's heard of adc Gnar?

I've been practicing adc Gnar today and almost every lobby I get into I get flamed for it because nobody thinks Gnar can be an adc. I played a game earlier that was really rough at the start, but it was my first one going Gnar adc, but I ended up carrying pretty hard and we won

I've heard of and seen plenty of people going Gnar adc, so what's the problem?

Adc Gnar is a perfectly ok thing. You do you bruh, you do you.

The problem is that it's not very good.

I ended up going like 17/7 and it was my first game lol. It's not BAD

Dying 7 times as ADC is bad, and one or three games you played says nothing about the balance of a champion. It's bad. That doesn't mean you can't play it. It's just AP Pantheon level stupid.

It may be bad, but it was my first time ever doing it lol. And I carried that game still, and we won... So it doesn't matter how many times I died then, all that matters is that we won with an adc Gnar on the team

And I'm not saying anything about the balance of a champion. I'm just saying, it's something that CAN be done if you're good at it. I personally like him a lot more top, but I thought I'd try something different, and it didn't exactly fail, so

the problem is that gnar is squishy af in mini form (his base stats are terrible) and also has very low AA range early and negligible poke. mega makes him melee but very kiteable, and still relatively squishy.

Because he can't. That's why Riot changed his secondary role tag from marksman to tank.

If you want a viable ADC substitute, pick Cassiopeia. That's what I do when I am left with ADC and my team takes all AD top, mid, and jungler like idiots, and it actually works since her powercurve is similar to an ADC and laning is much easier when she has someone protecting her.

Nah, he can. He may not be a marksman, but that doesn't mean anything. Due to him being ranged and tanky, he benefits from it in bot lane because he can farm, harass, and also fight, especially during ganks. And if you build items like item 3087 and item 3091 , you benefit from them in both forms. So if you build him right, it can definitely work

i thiink it might be possible if he didnt have the mega gnar

adc does damage from the backline now if you go mega you cant do this annymore and if you go in since your an adc you will get insta melted

im not saying it will never work im sure i can find a bunch of idiots wich feed me and il win as ad amumu if im lucky or play long enoough but its still not really effective

That can be an advantage or disadvantage, but it all depends on how you use it

Yes, it can be hard with the transformation, but it also helps you farm more. Since it gives you bonus health, armor, and MR, PLUS bonus damage, it's a lot easier to farm, especially since every Mega Gnar ability can hit more than one thing at a time. So that's a bonus

Late game, it can also be helpful. I mean, again, you transform into a tank with LOADS of CC, so you can use that to engage, and then also clean up when you transform back into Mini Gnar

So it all depends on how you play. I think Mega Gnar makes it easier, but I can kinda see how some people wouldn't like it

even if your good with it i see it having very easy counterplay losing range for an adc and becoming even more imobile hurts allot overal id say its a terrible champ for playing adc

on the otnher hand if you think different or have fun with it just keep on doing it dude if you get good at it you always have the advantage of other people not really knowing how to deal with it

and you might just discover a way to make it work who knows

the problem is your going to be melee and fairly immobile half the time

Midder Scray1 votes

You just have to time it right. For a bit after your transform back into Mini Gnar, you don't have to worry about it and you can poke all you want. And Mega Gnar may be fairly immobile, but his large amount of CC helps with that. His Q and I believe his E while Mega Gnar, both have slows, his W stuns, and his ult launches enemies and can also stun them. And if you play it right, after you do all that and transform back into Mini Gnar, you can clean up your own mess
