How to play it

✓

Dodge his boomerang

His boomerang is the only poke worth respecting, and it's dodgeable: sidestep it and his other short-range pokes do almost nothing.

✓

All-in when he's Tired

Right after Gnar drops out of mega he's Tired and can't build rage: if he's on your side with missing HP and your Ignite is up, that's your all-in.

✓

W his passive stacks

Always use your W as he stacks his passive on you: pop it to reduce the poke and auto damage you take.

✕

Never stand too far up on his side of the lane without your cooldowns: getting run down by his autos, slow, and movespeed is realistically the only way you die to Gnar.
