Why does Gnar counters them?

As you can see Gnar got some pretty balanced matchups but due to its weaker moment in lol he's winrate isn't good compared with this characters. Gnar has really good poke with hp% damage on W + ms , he also has dash with E so tanks got problems with him on lane - he can easily cut them of the minions or just control the wave like he wants. Problems is in characters like Malphite, Phanteon, Wukong, Camille and cause of it is that they can easily one-shot Mini-Gnar with dash abilities in their hands or completly dodge Mega-Gnar damage and combo . Previously I have said that Gnar isn't best of a champion now - there are other similar picks like Kennen or Zac or Ornn that can benefit more to the team.

GNAR!

Q is the basic spell that grants huge damage in both forms and good poke on lane - damage and cooldown you got from leveling it up is impactful .

W deals a lot of damage to tanks so its always good on toplane.

E is a ability that can make you jump 1 time or 2 times if you hit enemy or a teammate with previous jump - enables escapes and also engange potential - at 100 fury you will change form after few seconds or after using a ability - if u use E then u get the double jump while already being Mega-Gnar .

R is most important ability in his kit - on lane can guarantee a big damage combo or can setup entire Teamfight just with R and W - cooldown is very short so u can almost spam it.

The Basics

Gnar is a Teamfight beast that also need farm cause sometimes he cant kill the enemy so just take Teleport - wait for a moment - go farm at lane - you can go Ignite but that would be just ridiculous..

PTA doesn't mean fulls offense so the secodnary tree is more build up for Teamfights - instead of Unflinching you can go Demolish or even change the tree to Sorcery with Scorch and Absolute Focus/Celerity . With this runes you can get enemy to low HP then jump as Mega Gnar and finish them - more useless rune in Teamfights .

Thank you!
