Who counters Gnar and who Gnar beats

Gnar's biggest weakness is the thing that makes him special: the Rage bar. You do not get to pick exactly when you flip into Mega Gnar, so a clever laner can bait the transform, then punish you in melee when you are slow and out of position, or all in your squishy mini form right after you have used up your rage. Mini Gnar has range and hops, but he has no real escape once he is grounded, and his damage leans on auto attacks to fuel his Hyper passive. To beat Gnar, bring a champion who out ranges his poke, blinds or shuts off his autos, sticks to him through his hops, or simply out sustains the harassment. When you pick Gnar, you are betting you can manage that meter and land a big GNAR! into a wall, so respect any lane that can punish a mistimed transform.
