Tips Against Gnar in Top Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors

Maniaxx says “Gnar's W (Hyper) deals a lot of damage and can be used for poke, and when he transforms into Mega Gnar, he can use Gnar's R (GNAR!) to knock you back, disrupting your positioning. Watch out for his range poke in his mini form and his crowd control in Mega form. How to deal with him: Play safe in the laning phase: Early Gnar can poke with Q (Boomerang Throw) and W, so avoid overextending. Build Health early: Gnar has high poke damage, so stack health to sustain through his poke. Use your sustain: Mundo’s healing will help him survive the poking phase, but don’t engage when Gnar has his full Mega form bar. Avoid getting knocked into the wall: When Gnar is in Mega form, avoid standing near walls to prevent being knocked back and stunned.”

juangepeto says “gnar is ranged and at the same time melee, this allows him to zone the GP both in his ranged form by breaking the barrels and in his melee form by jumping on the GP and applying tons of damage and a lot of cc since he has 2 types of group control”

parker3n9 says “This matchup can be challenging, primarily because Mini Gnar often poses more of a threat than Mega Gnar due to his range and poke. However, if Gnar misplays his jump, especially when you have your ultimate ready, you can all-in and secure the win in a fight. Play carefully around his Mini Gnar poke and look for openings when he’s in Mega Gnar and less mobile. Recommended Runes: Aery or Grasp of the Undying (I lean toward Aery for better poke potential) Summoner Spells: Flash and Teleport”
BigBallsLarry says “Take CONQ with second wind+dshield, this matchup might seem hard but its not. starting from level 2 you can start trading with him, using your parry on either his Q or W passive (so he doesnt get his ms). If you slide parry into him as hes attacking for the third stack, he will be slowed and caught offguard and can lead to an all-in from your part. When hes mega gnar its best go parry his W or R post lvl 6, if you parry his r its a guaranteed stun since he's locked in the animation. You can take swifties in this matchup, however steelcaps are probably better. Q forward facing vitals and run away so he cant hit his Q or 3 stacks. You outscale if you cant win lane, but winning is pretty easy.”
KiwiJami says “Escapes when tiny, tanks when big, almost unkillable. Can go smite.”

sprdlol says “He's really weak early when mini gnar. Spam your abilities in his face and bully him. Careful when he get his tabis and trinity force.”

Skaarlschloch says “Very favoured Matchup. Many ways to win this you can go both Grasp/Conq/LT and both Ignite/TP. Depending on how aggro you wanna be and mabye also depending on how gankheavy the enemy jng is”

Lilac says “Being a ranged champion, Gnar should technically have a bigger edge on Fiora. However, his passive turning him into a tank/bruiser temporarily often works against him, making it much easier to all-in him when he has likely lost a good amount of health already and has much lower mobility. Recommended: Almost any rune page is decent into Gnar. The safest option is Fleet Footwork, negating his poke and making it easier to chase mini-gnar. Conqueror of course has better scaling if you're not confident in laning against Gnar. Press the Attack can give you new windows to bully mini-Gnar, and Grasp of the Undying can give you the edge when enraged Gnar jumps onto you. Whichever you choose, you both have a lot of ways to outplay each other in lane, and what runes are best will be determined by your playstyle.”
Coke Rat says “Gnar is actually pretty easy to deal with. Avoid his Q and chase him down, specially after he uses his E. Mega Gnar is not a threat too, dash around avoiding everything. Don't get caught on his CC chain.”

Raideru says “This matchup is very skill based, it's basically up to the gnar how well he reacts to your w and e with his jump, but it's also controllable from your side generally what I do in this lane is I go 3 points E so I can have a lower cooldown in order to jump on him again instantly when it's up since his e cooldown is pretty long so the only way to trade with him generally is either with w poke or with e cooldown strategy. You must rush Trinity in this lane to abuse him as soon as possible since he does get pretty strong later. I advise Conqueror.”
