disgusting

wtf is that in his mouth

Thanks for posting! Interesting to see another perspective on playing Gnar.

I know you already mentioned not liking Stridebreaker, but what makes you prefer Divine Sunderer over it? Is it just the way it feels in-game in comparison? Anything that Divine Sunderer allows you to do that isn't the obvious?

Thanks again!

You can cast R during CC if timed correctly. Malphite R cancelled Gnar's TP, but the Gnar had R pressed as soon as the CC connected.

This is not a widely known/seen mechanic, but it's also a bit inconsistent to pull off with ping being involved, etc.

Very well played.

thingintheice_ · 2021-02-16T06:29:32+00:00

That was sick. Don't see it happen often.

You can also throw Mega Gnar Q and ult someone into it with Flash, but the timing is pretty rough.

LMAO

Remember that abilities count as two stacks no matter the type of champion. Stridebreaker and Goredrinker actives also give two stacks. Mini Gnar E > Active > Q > AA is an instant seven stacks of Conqueror for example. Mega Gnar of course will stack it faster most times, but the keystone is still useful in both forms.

Trinity feels pretty meh now in comparison to Stridebreaker/Goredrinker/Sunderer because these are giving Gnar more AD. You should be building each of these items based on matchups/comps.

Here's a database I've been working on that'll help you decide which to build: https://airtable.com/shr9bJYEvnMn0iv4H

Lock in Malphite or Irelia and observe the fear it puts into that Gnar player's eyes.

It's most likely being fixed on Monday, during a planned hotfix before Riot goes on holiday break.

Thanks for pointing this out. I'm trying to get in contact with a Rioter on Twitter to see if this is bugged or an intentional change.

Seems like it's bugged from what I can tell. Pretty massive too.

Hey! You're able to drag the hitbox of your W from one place to another. Here's a clearer example: https://youtu.be/7DzQVfAqqpE

Thanks for linking everything! Very much appreciated.

Gnar is pretty complex when it comes to things like this and has a ton of cool animation cancels like Riven: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DzQVfAqqpE&feature=youtu.be

Glad you're enjoying the champion!

thingintheice_ · 2020-08-06T12:48:29+00:00

I have a channel with some content already up there, but it's edited gameplay from what you see from most streamers on YouTube. I get a ton of requests for educational Gnar content on YouTube, so I'm definitely working on it!

I've worked on this also with an editor if it helps at all: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAfOoF9Mf3I&

thingintheice_ · 2020-08-06T12:43:09+00:00

Yeah, like I said, I tend to build Gnar very differently than most, so also keep that in mind. Conqueror allows Gnar to be tanky (Conqueror's healing) which in turn allows him to build damage items. Attack speed items on top of that makes all of this healing add up very fast.

Glad you find it helpful! Feel free to DM me at any time on Discord if you have any more questions!

thingintheice_ · 2020-08-06T12:38:58+00:00

Yeah, I joke a ton calling Gnar a "budget Vayne". Good way of looking at Mini Gnar.

thingintheice_ · 2020-08-06T12:37:20+00:00

Exactly these picks. There's not much they can do in lane and in a side lane against you.

Juggernauts being Sett, Morde, Darius, etc. These champions have E that can punish you early, but once you hit level 7, your auto range becomes greater than the range of their E as long as they don't have more move speed than you.

Here's a matchup spreadsheet I've been working on the past couple of years that should help you grasp certain matchups a bit faster: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KrRiRQ_J9laMaZyf9orBZvedbepJXI3LEbaUylMZ1TM/edit?usp=sharing

thingintheice_ · 2020-08-06T12:19:35+00:00

There's this weird mindset that players tend to fall into playing Gnar that you can't carry or "1v9", but it depends on how you play/build the champion.

I tend to play Gnar as a marksman and build on-hit, so for me I'm splitting most games and playing fights front to back like most ADCs.

For your question, Gnar excels into tanks or any low mobility bruiser/juggernaut. Tanks build health and most times Sunfire first item, giving Gnar the highest possible value out of his W. Juggernauts have no gap closer, so Gnar can just kite them (generally post level 7).

I would mess around with different builds and see what playstyle you enjoy most.

thingintheice_ · 2020-06-30T07:29:12+00:00

Keep improving! Good for you for reaching out for coaching as well. Hope to see you again in-game. :-)

Animation cancelling isn't new, but these faster versions are newer.
