Talk:Gnar/@comment-25522916-20141010182118

I do agree with most of you saying that he has significant weaknesses, but i have to disagree on him being bad. First of all, I am a terrible top laner, I never played top that much and therefore I do not have the same level of skill on my elo that i do have for my main roles. But I decided to pick up gnar and with him learn how to play top lane properly. I am aware that he is a rather odd choice but I find him tons of fun to play and I believe that passion will drive me to master the top lane.

Anyway to get started, Gnar is really good against players who don't know him that well because his kit at level 2 combined with his passive is really surprisingly strong. I am still bad and I am not saying that this champion is better than the rest if you know how to play him, maybe he just fits my playstyle.

I do not believe that gnar needs more than 10% CDR, it is true that if you miss your Q in both forms you will suffer the consequences, but i would rather focus on his strenghts than his weaknesses, as catching your Q maybe is worth a little bit of damage. Against tanks or lane bullies and/or both Bilgewater is generally the right choice, it helps in both forms, true the attack speed and life steal do not really help in the mega form but the active slow really helps to prevent kiting.

Secondly I find Trinity Force works wonders on him as almost every stat it gives serves a purpose, except the mana as mentioned before by others.

I may not be as experienced as most of you guys (I am Diamond V in turkey (thats the equivalent of Gold III-Plat IV in EU)) but I found a champion that appeals to me on several levels.

Plus his dance is the best thing that happened to LoL.

WAAAAAA
