Big Plays Spotlight: Mini Gnar Mega Dive

RiotPreeti·8/29/2014, 6:09:45 PM·81 votes·278,189 views

Welcome to the Big Plays Spotlight! In this feature, we highlight the most epic plays, from meticulously-coordinated early tower dives to mind-blowing cross-map jukes.

Gnar’s Rage meter is tricky, but managing it with precision enables him to bait the enemy and get away with ultra-aggressive plays.

Giving the Missing Link a spin, GuLe utilizes Gnar’s kit to max potential, boldly chasing down Katarina and transforming into Mega Gnar for the health spike at just the right moment. Not only did the Diamond 1 player calculate Gnar’s Rage like a pro, he baited out Katarina’s Flash without burning his own.

We’d love to feature your biggest plays, so post a link in the comments below or submit your clip here!

Can you try and focus these videos on teamwork instead of single person plays? Not that they aren't impressive, they certainly are, but the majority of the easily influenced players should be shown examples of groups working together, because that's the most important thing in the game. Most people seem to want to play a one man show, and doing things like exemplifying coordination would help that at least a little bit.

Heck maybe you should start posting one man show failure videos, just to show people what happens most of the time when people ignore everyone and try to go do everything alone :)

I don't get this 'play'. Gnar towerdives Katarina making himself low and then ignites Kat when she wouldn't survive 2 ticks, but continues to chase dispite Kat's certain death. Kat uses the opportunity to jump on Gnar and kill him but misclicks and dies to ignite and Gnar's reflexes would've been too slow if Kat hadn't misclicked, you can see he activates his ult to transform a split second after Kat used her combo. The only thing that took skill there was looking at the rage bar and saying, it's 80% full, I can get full rage soon and I doubt he planned to transform as the last tower shot came to him. It's not a bad play (i'll still say gj to the Gnar if I was his teammate), but it was the mistakes that got him into that clutch position and the Kat's mistakes that saved him. Plus i've healed off dmg with manual tranform as well so many times. I probably sound like a hater right now, but I was quite disappointed when I saw the video and I just think this is an everyday play, not a big play.

That wasn't very impressive, to be honest... It was a bit impressive, but not IMPRESSIVE.

All I do is bait people into my Mega Gnar form, It's so stupid later game when you gain like 50 rage in 2 second of doing anything People ask me "How u get so much rage so fast" after I bashed their face into the wall This isn't really a big play, It's more of a timed play, could even be pure luck smashing the keyboard

Can we do a spotlight for the Talon in the video? He instant popped lee, took the ignite from Kat, and barely escaped the 2nd tower shot. Basically what Gnar did with more efficiency.

Not much of a 'play' when it clearly looks more like a hungry dive and getting ultra lucky; there was no logical need to try and go for the kill when Katarina backed with the lane pushed.

I dunno, guess I'd rather enjoy the plays like that insane Renekton 1v5 with only a Hydra.

Why is this being featured? Not impressive in the slightest.

I just had a game yesterday as Gnar where I jumped into the enemies mid outer turret bouncing off the first person, killing him, then flashing forward ult killing two more for the triple. that kind of dive is what we need to see on here. Not one kill -_- I don't have a recorder or I would submit it. Riot when are we gonna have a replay system implicated!?

riot try to convince us that gnar is a good champion.... keep trying

I like how they used the word calculated... lets be honest, most of the players who do things like this get lucky, LIKE ME!!!

ModJikker8/30/2014, 1:29:00 AM3 votes

With my experience with Gnar, that was luck more than skill. Only skill I see is "hey I am close to transforming so hopefully I can change in time so I guess I can turret dive."

Can we get some bronzie players ever? That'd be funny because stuff like this happens in low elo all the time, it's just the player gets random luck and stuff lol

I normally love watching these, but this one seems based on way more luck and bad mechanics than skill. Looked more like a really thirsty dive than a carefully calculated ult with the expectation of living.

Wait, Mega Dive sounds like Megadrive, and the Megadrive is European name for the Sega Genisis, my conclusion is that riot games is making an arcade skin for Gnar!

My detective skills never cease to amaze me.

I love playing gnar, I get told alot that I'm a very good gnar player. I dont know if my plays r post worthy tho XD nothing special, and I dont think encouraging players to go 1v 2 or 3 is a good thing tho, especially since I find that gnar is weak against champs like mord, sometimes riven, sometimes vlad, and if you dont get the first kill and kill him early: nasus. I've actually have had ppl ask me about how I play gnar and how I build him as well, honestly I've used the guide that riot provided as a basis for my gnar item build, basis in the sense that he only provided items that he usually uses, and doesnt provide how he builds into these items, but useful all the same.
