How to play it

Dodge his boomerang
Dodge his Q (Boomerang) while you build fury; if it hits, wait for the slow to expire before you commit rather than spinning in slowed.
Punish his Hop
Abuse mini Gnar's low base stats before level 3, and once he burns his Hop (E, 22s early) you get a ~10s window to spin in and run him down.
Don't feed Hyper
Don't let him stack and proc his W (Hyper) third hit, and if you dash in never end up behind him or he double-jumps off you.
Never dash in and end up behind Gnar: he'll double-jump off you with Hop and slip the trade.
