Champion Spotlight: Gnar, the Missing Link

Riot·Aug 8, 2014·1 votes·115,688 views

Discover the beast within the boy and learn to master both sides of the Missing Link in the Gnar Champion Spotlight.

Gnar’s a double-headed beast best played on the edges of fights in his Mini form, and in the enemies’ midst as Mega Gnar. During the laning phase, use basic attacks and clever casts of Boomerang Throw to trigger Hyper, which chunks your opponent down and helps you stay out of range of their retaliation. Hop’s a useful ability, too, but best saved for moments when you need to flee from jungle ganks or guarantee kills against your target. As teams start grouping, Crunch into fights as Mega Gnar before using Wallop, Boulder Toss and GNAR! to burst down the enemy’s weaker damage dealers and pummel their tanks.

Viruses don't have colours, but they do come in cherry, lime and banana. Make mine banana.

...Since no one will see this, I'd just like to say sometimes at night I sleep with my sisters teddy bear cause I'm scared of the monsters under my bed.

I just logged in to say how much I love the litle funny quirks in the video, especially the scene when Gnar's chasing them in the end then Hugeify's! and it becomes the opposite! I laughed like a little girl again XD.

Until he gets nerfed in the next patch

PAWS711Aug 12, 201424 votes

Actually he won't because someone else will instalock before him, even if he's the first to call top. In ranked/draft everyone will be terrified of him regardless of how strong he actually is and he will get banned every game.

DRGN The CreatorAug 12, 201416 votes

Teambuilder exists for a reason ya know

MaganarAug 12, 20149 votes

Absolutely, as long as you're willing to wait a century to get stuck in a mirror lane, because you know that's what's going to happen if you queue Gnar top when he first comes out.

Steve EsquireAug 12, 201411 votes

Yeah judging from the video, the slows looks a little op. I know a lot of champs get nerfed after the first week, but this one might be the most drastic nerf.

TiropatAug 12, 201420 votes

Honestly Gnar has a way higher skill cap than anyone else in the game because you can't control your transform. If he is actually doing well outside of plat+ this week i'll be surprised.

WulfeniteAug 12, 20147 votes

Look at how hard Diana got nerfed and then tell me how this guy can get nerfed any harder.

Still waiting on Janna, WW, and Taric Spotlights '-'

MIdnightKatanaAug 13, 20148 votes

I don't think they can make a Taric spotlight. Phreaks puns would get outrageous, truly truly truly outrageous.

HanfeiziAug 12, 20142 votes

That hop needs a 5 mins cool down to be fair.

gallowsCalibr8rAug 12, 201414 votes

A lot of champions have low cooldown escapes, and his needs units to be effective. What if you gave tristana's jump or leblancs distortion a 5 minute cooldown? that would be absurd and unfun and both of those are superior escapes.

aren't yordles supposed to be advanced aliens? they even have a mothership. so how does Gnar fit in to their story?
