Playing against Gnar
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
1
Gnar is vulnerable right after losing Mega form: he's small, has no CC, and his abilities are on cooldown.
2
Watch his rage bar: when it's almost full, back away from walls — his R stuns against walls.
3
Mini Gnar is squishy and can be all-inned — force fights when he's in Mini form with low rage.
4
Don't group up near walls when Mega Gnar is in the fight — he's looking for a multi-target R.
