Why this MASTER is playing AP GNAR

Today we have a really ridiclous player - a Korean Master who climbed with Off meta AP Gnar Mid. I talk about why he is playing AP Gnar Mid, his incredibly high damage, great AP Scaling and Surprising tools and decide - is the pick good?

Thank god no more top lane picks 😭 I can finally rest…

[HSOpyro]

I remember playing AP Gnar in season 5 or 6, it was a load of fun ! He really suffered from the lack of manaless burst mage items and increase of mobility with newer champions and items over the years, i never tried it with everfrost but it sounds quite interesting

[gnaronetrick]

i knew this moment would come... i was messing with mid gnar (altho just usual bruiser build), it felt good. also liked press the attack for early power, especially into assassins. but the big problem is low waveclear so most other midlaners will quickly shove you in.

[marteczek]

I love Gnar so much but the fact that hes not a very reliable pick in solo queue made me stop playing him, but now I got a new way to play him. Thanks a lot!

[doomhound]

Never thought my int tactics are become off meta high elo picks 😂

[gabrielpoole]

I tried out Gnar AP a little while ago but did it top lane and had good results still. Will have to try it midlane.
I had similar runes however I went full AP going deathcap instead of defensive items like the wits end or death dance. A lot more dmg but much squishier.
Its a feast or famine build but really fun, i strongly recommend going Dark seal as early as possible because ideally you want to be snowballing. This is where going mid instead of top is more beneficial and definitely something i gotta try out. Mid champs like assassins will be much harder to kite than the big chunky top laners tho

[monstermilk]

Gnar mid in general is actually super underrated. Regular old AD Gnar can lane extremely well into scaling picks and can bully them early.

[years-tixl]

AP Gnar? Ok Janna top is already being picked a lot in SoloQ right now, and now we have something that might actually give LS an aneurysm since his hatred for Gnar in pro play is weird and hilarious, and building AP is the straw that broke the camel's back.

One of the reasons I love these videos is they break down so much information like powerspikes, teamfight strategy, lane management, macro and all this other stuff. Honestly it's interesting to get these perspectives because it's information that I can apply to all of this game. I know you used to do meta character analysis, but that was before your channel had a big spike in popularity / production value. I think a lot of people would like to see meta flavor of the month breakdowns with interviews from high level / pro players with similar levels of information and tips from knowledgeable players. Thanks for the videos!

Currently I've been playing Chemtank / Sterraks Gage Tryndamere with Fleet Footwork in the jungle for anyone who wants something fun to try (The items have insane synergy with Tryndamere's extremely overloaded base stats/ growth per level). :D

[Laughingwithtravii]

im one of those aram only players but one of my favorite things is playing everything as support or utility. old glp + ghosties was so fun on so many. new glacial and everfrost KINDA recreates how fun that time was for me. but anyways this was a treat to watch, ef is so fun. thanks!

[umbreoff]

This brings me back memories of when I used to main Gnar and went nashor's, runaan's and gunblade. Was a lot of fun! Might try this one :D

[vutruongquang]

I love how you INTegrate the sponsor content in this video so well (no pun INTended), your humour keeps bringing me back man !!! 😂😂😂😂

[pezbi]

I'm so glad that you finally did a Gnar video!

[Xeractyll]

Somehow I wasn’t subbed and forgot about your channel ;-; now I’ve found it again, subbed, and am binging cuz why not ^^

Remembered the Taliyah support pick after I saw it played in NA Masters yesterday (and yeah, she got fed)

[iMac]

i used to do hybrid gnar sometimes back when i played about 6 tears ago because of his W. surprised it took this long to catch on

[Noah-wrod]

I personally have been running the run fast af gnar damage build which is eclipse into either randuins or wits end depending on damage match up its with lethal tempo its still very good in late game with both mega and mini gnar.

[seanphelps]

I just started playing AP Gnar on mid, after neglecting my W top lane and doing, kinda eh. But then I tried this, before I found this video, and it's insane. AP Gnar is beautiful.

[altrayu]

Ap gnar mid was my first time playing and building a champ how I want and I've been hooked since

[Wlfguard]

So a disadvantage of playing gnar is that he depends on his team to do followup on his ult, but this build has the same problem, everfrost into ult is really good if you aren't the only one dealing damage. A classic gnar doesn't stand a chance against irelia in the lategame but at 8:35 he is 2 levels ahead. Using lethal tempo and botrk+bruiser items you could have done the same while being less squishy .
That way mini gnar is still quite the threat in teamfights and mega gnar is still a beast after his ult is on cd.

[vladislavkaras]

Interesting build.
I really liked the everfrost idea of build on non AP champs, since root can make a difference.
Thanks for the video!
