Talk:Gnar/@comment-24292709-20140905191759

I love Gnar way more than I thought I would. He just plays how I like to play. Farm a bit, then go suddenly on the offensive. The issue players are having with him is they see "marksmen", so they build him straight ADC. That's okay, if you always stayed Mini Gnar (although you'd die in a single hit). He isn't an ADC, stop trying to use him like one. You WILL die as Mega Gnar if you try.

My build isn't ideal by far, but I usually rush a BotRK, then build full tank. I like Omen, because it lets you jump in and either enemies down so your team can catch up, or use it as a disengage right before/during swapping back to Mini Gnar. Depending on team comps, I either get Spirit Visage or Banshees, plus Warmog's. I usually get Merc Treads, just because Mega Gnar is like a walking, massive target. Although, Boots of Swiftness are great against teams that lack the hard CC.

The big issue I have with him is readability. Anyone remotely intelligent will give you space when your rage bar is full (unless they counter Mega Gnar hard or something) and avoid that obvious hop-initiating combo Gnar has.

He's great in my Silver elo, where most people are easy to bait. But I could see how he struggles in more competitive games.
