How to play it

Chill farm lane
You can always farm and scale: he can't really kill you unless you overstep going for the kill.
Dodge Mega Gnar
In Mega form his smashes and stuns set up the run-down: dodge them and don't fight next to walls, especially if he has tabis/plated.
Punish oversteps
When he oversteps, W-E-aa-Q out (or E-aa-Q-W if you can reach him), then back off before he runs you down.
Never use both dashes to engage: a good Gnar waits for that and uses E to chase you down.
