Having played him quite a few times on the PBE now, there are a few things I have noticed.

1.  E seems to have a special effect when used with 100 fury but not transformed yet. He will transform during the ability causing a Double-Crunch, once on the loctation where he bounced and once where he lands. If you don't bounce on an enemy it will just do the normal crunch, albiet with a slightly different animation. Seems like a pretty good initiation tool to me, though it could be easily predicted.

2.  He gains the Hyper movement speed bonus after returning to Mini-Gnar regardless of whether he had attacked or not.

3. I'm fairly positive he can pick up the Rock/Boomerang after transforming to reduce the cooldown of the opposite ability.

4. His W passive can be applied to multiple enemies at once, similar to Vel'Koz. (most people probably knew this one already)

5. When you land his E (Mini-Gnar) on a unit, the bounce is going to be a fixed distance, regardless of the origonal distance you were to the unit. This means that you can point-blank E someone to create distance, and also slow the target if they are an enemy.

6. I am not 100% sure on this one, but I think the bonus hp that Mega-Gnar gets works similar to a Renekton ulti. It gives you some flat hp, which can't be reduced by greivous wounds, and then when you return to Mini-Gnar, it just lowers your max hp without actually "hurting" you.

My overall opinion of Gnnnnar is pretty good. He seems to be a decent top laner with amazing crowd control in his Mega-Gnar form. I had some fun juking around in Mini-Gnar form, kiting with Q, and generally annoying the enemy team. I saw one person attempt to play marksman Gnar, but it failed pretty horribly. He was zoned out early when his passive popped. I also saw a jungle Gnar which didn't do TOO bad, but I had almost nothing to fear from him in the ganking department, as he never really had enough fury to transform and lock me down.

The PBE isn't that great for testing out his actual strengths, but it certainly helps get the basics down :D

If there is anything you want me to test, just ask and I'll try to give it a go.
