Who Wins

  • You struggle pre-6 due to lack of reliable gap closers and Gnar's superior range and kiting potential.
  • Post-6 your R gives you much better all-in potential, but you still need to be careful about Mega Gnar's disengage and crowd control abilities.

How to Trade

  • Your best trading opportunities come from using W vision to track Gnar's positioning, then looking for flanking angles or waiting for him to waste E before committing.
  • Focus on short, decisive trades rather than extended fights where his kiting advantage becomes overwhelming.

Wave Control

  • You need to manipulate waves to create opportunities for all-ins, ideally keeping waves in positions where you can run Gnar down the lane.
  • Consider freezing when ahead or slow pushing to create dive opportunities with your jungler, as solo laning is difficult.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't chase extended trades against Mini Gnar without a clear kill opportunity, as his kiting will outdamage you over time.
  • Avoid fighting in open areas where he can easily maintain distance, and never engage when his Mega transformation is imminent without accounting for his increased crowd control.
