"Time marches on for most, but not Gnar. A yordle born millennia ago, Gnar was captured and trapped in true ice, frozen - quite literally - in time. Civilizations formed and fell as the prehistoric yordle vacantly stared on, but nothing – not even true ice – could confine Gnar forever. After breaking free, he wandered Runeterra until he found himself taken in by his yordle descendants. But, as they would soon discover, there's a beast behind the boy."

He's so cute and fluffy!!!

he looks pretty solid...long range poke and speed when small and heavy hitting and CC in Mega form but its going to be interesting to see if he remains Top because I've so far heard a few people talk about playing him as a Jungle champion.

Anyone else think he might make a good Junglar?

Possibly, but probably not. What Riot tried doing with this champion was to make him inconsistent intentionally. He's like Nid or Jayce or Elise, except you can't choose not to trigger your transformation. This means you'd have to have wicked timing with building his rage up to gank effectively. Also, he's got a decent ranged slow as mini Gnar, but big Gnar is pretty slow and likely can't close gaps well enough.

But I do agree. he's ****ing adorbs and I want him as a pet IRL. As long as he doesn't wreck my **** as big Gnar.

From the looks of things his mini form is pretty delicate, meaning he'll probly be quite low health after a jungle clear. Also his gap closer requires a minion to get the full length out of it, so Im not sure he'll be good at ganking. It seems they've been very careful as to keep him strictly as a top laner. Though, oddly, that attack damage buff on his W is pretty crazy when you look at it. It procs for more than BORK active and also gives a speed boost to match.

Then they add some low cd harass,
Crazy long gapcloser (when in lane),
Giant aoe direction controlled cc,
the option to play between a tank or ranged dps(even if its timer based),

Fact is, this guy seems op as F*** XD

I sense Teemo 2.0 -> Instabuying

He looks stupid strong, the only thing limiting his gameplay being his own fury bar. I'm also growing tired of this thing where every two new champs need to have 294714 abilities.

He looks cute, I'll buy him but will probably set him aside once I figure out he's broken or grow tired of toplanerino.
Thank you Byron for 2014's loudest laugh up till today

False he only actually gets one new ability as big Gnar. The othe two seem pretty much the same lol.

All lane matchups: wait for his fury bar to fill and bully him until he turns back. The end.

I'm inclined to buy but I think this yordle will only survive one patch. Couldn't agree more with FalseoGod.

I'll admit everything about him (Big Gnar included) is adorable to me.
