His "poke" is rather overrated, or more accuratly, riot's obsession with burst & making plays means that mini Gnar gets outtraded by nearly everything due to his squishyness and the fact that he needs to hit thrice before his poke really amounts to anything interesting. Noone's just going to stand there and let you poke, and early on you dont have the range or the speed to harras either. The only ones so far that I've been able to consistently trade favorably with are the ones that ALWAYS allowed for those three hits. If it's just the occasional AA/boomerang then you lose to pretty much everything.

Also, as for his no-go zone. Since in mini he has massive trouble actually winning an all in (until he has some proper gear and levels to get his passive going) this effectivly just ends up being increadibly easy to counter since it's the only period when he is a proper threat against most targets, people just hang back for a bit when he gets high on rage and then continue to bully him afterwards/
