AP ATK Speed Gnar??

[quote=dvldogherzog]I'm sorry about the lack of depth and information in this question, but just had a thought and am curious if anyone has tried it. Mini Gnar's passive scaling 100% with AP, very similar to Nunu's E which CHUNKS health out of people. Probably not viable in ranked play, but is an Atk Speed/AP Gnar scary? Items like Nashors Tooth, Liandry's, Rylai's, maybe wit's end and bork. Potential? Orrrr, nothing? EDIT: I apologize, I realize now that this is very similar to a post about 4 months ago. My initial forum search showed nothing I was looking for.[/quote]

[quote=Lugignaf]If a post is 4 months old, don't bring it back up in the same thread. A new thread is fine. :P As for AS/AP Gnar, I don't see why you'd do it. Yes, it has a 100% AP scaling, but that's on the base damage, not the %Max HP damage. And, adding to that, it runs in the same vein as you don't build full AS Vayne. [[Silver bolts]], and by extension, [[Hyper]], don't actually do a whole lot of your damage. The rest of your spells and attacks do.[/quote]

[quote=The Giratina]It's...okay. You might as well just run spell pen since gnar is a tank on its self with a lot of cc.[/quote]

[quote=Rasta Da Masta]If you go to the Gnar page, there is a guide written by Aqua Dragon 33 that shows the strengths of AP Gnar... well even though it's really Spell Pen Bruiser Gnar, but it's easier to say "AP Gnar". Search for the guide that says "Hyper Dynamic" and read through it. Actually, just click this link & this will take you to the guide: http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/build/ap-gnar-basics-hyper-dynamic-425588 Also, his smurf ZeaDragon recently got to Platinum by only playing AP Gnar Top, Tank Karthus Mid & AP Marksman Azir Bot. It's definitely viable. And it's credible if you check his stats on op.gg or other sites... or just watch his twitch @ twitch.tv/aquadragon33[/quote]

[quote=Embracing]tanky ad gnar is clearly better as for solo queue anything is viable so I wouldn't look to that for anything[/quote]

[quote=NicknameMy]"as for solo queue anything is viable so I wouldn't look to that for anything" So basically, every theorycrafting doesn't matter anyway for anyone?[/quote]

[quote=OTGBionicArm][quote=NicknameMy]"as for solo queue anything is viable so I wouldn't look to that for anything" So basically, every theorycrafting doesn't matter anyway for anyone?[/quote] Eh, not everyone cares for theorycrafting. Some people just want something that they know should work with the effort put behind it to be mastered. Theorycrafting is a whole other layer of depth to the game most people don't even trifle with. We are the 1% Nickname. The 1%.[/quote]

[quote=Embracing][quote=NicknameMy] So basically, every theorycrafting doesn't matter anyway for anyone?[/quote] how does solo queue not representing a champion's viability well have anything to do with theorycrafting not being important?[/quote]

[quote=dvldogherzog]Awesome, thanks for all the replies! I did have a chance to try the build out last night, unfortunately I learned I am quite unskilled with Gnar in general, and was faced with playing against a Fizz which threw off my plan of kiting a slow tanky top melee. The early trading definitely scared him though, and I think someone who knows how to play Gnar could very easily pull off a similar build and make the enemy team think twice before engaging.[/quote]
