Who Wins
- You lose early trades heavily due to Gnar's range and mobility advantage, making levels 1-3 about survival and CS.
- At level 6, you gain kill pressure if Gnar mismanages his form or gets caught in Mega without escape cooldowns.
How to Trade
- Your trading pattern revolves around waiting for Gnar to use abilities on minions, then using W to slow and get multiple Q stacks while he's vulnerable.
- Focus on short trades when he's in Mini form, and look for all-ins when he's in Mega form near your minions.
Wave Control
- You need to manipulate the wave to freeze near your tower, allowing safe farming while building stacks.
- Accept some CS loss early to maintain this position, as getting ahead in stacks is more valuable than gold in this matchup.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't chase Gnar when he has E available, as you'll take free damage without landing meaningful trades.
- Avoid using W aggressively when the enemy jungler is nearby, as it's your only tool to escape ganks in this immobile matchup.
