You got some good answers, but I'd like to poit that while Teemo counters many toplaners I don't think Gnar is really one of them (despite Riot's opinion)

Gnar just can't trade autos with Teemo or leap on him while in mega form, but neither can Teemo actually close on him (ms + ms buff + hop + slows) or threaten the mega form (tough and could leap on Teemo if he gets close). Even preventing Gnar from farming is dubious to work, as Gnar is still ranged and has a manaless skillshot with long range and reasonable cdr (if you catch the boomerangs) to help him.

It looks more like a farm lane that will be less confortable for the Gnar than for Teemo...but after laning I think he'll have more actuall play (Teemo is more anoying than really usefull).
