All making the bar invisible does is put the burden of knowledge on the player. A mindful player can still count Gnar's attacks and time in combat, but that sort of bookkeeping goes against riot's design philosophies.

I understand where you're coming from with the W buff, but I think the fact that Gnar has to take a risk in order to proc the W passive is one of the things that keeps it from being broken.
