How to play it

Dodge empowered Q
His empowered Q is a ranged nuke he'll throw at Gnar all lane: watch his resource bar and sidestep it.
Curve Q behind him
His W works like Braum's shield and blocks your proc head-on: curve Gnar's Q behind him, since he can't turn mid-cast.
Punish his level 6
After 6, don't linger in lane once he resets: his R lets him return to lane like an early Teleport.
Never let him get close enough to commit an all-in: he has to be near you to go in, so position out of his range.
