Should I be as excited as I am? It's taken me a long time to track down the first game even though I've had the sequels for years.
I'm reserving judgment until you post a screenshot of soloing baron with him.

Let's put it this way, having played the sequels first will probably be a biiiiig hindrance.
The game hasn't aged well. It plays and looks like a 1995 PS1 game.
I'm scared of how buggy his patch will be now.
So completely unrelated, but I hadn't check up on my AP Sona Mid guide in months and holy shit it has 540,200 views! Wow. Guess there is a small, but dedicated Sona mid playerbase.
:^)

I didn't play the sequels. I've been waiting to play them all in order. I'm alright with ugly graphics as long as the story is goofy and gameplay is fun.
Edit: think I misread what you were saying.
I'm just looming for a quirky rpg.
You need to update it about how Riot keeps nerfing her for mid, and how the upcoming Sona rework will make her worse/better.So completely unrelated, but I hadn't check up on my AP Sona Mid guide in months and holy shit it has 540,200 views!

I think it's cool it has so many views.
yeah I'm gonna wait for the patch notes to theory craft and update it. but after the athenes nerf, lich bane nerfs, s4 support ratio nerfs, and now the rework. idk how many nerfs she can take before being straight up unviable.
His moves have been announced:

Movespeed boost, can interrupt Katarina ult, tanky and burst damage, gap closer, escape, slow, stun, melee and ranged damage, two champion forms for 6+ abilities, sounds like we've checked the boxes here!

ADC killer confirmed
I neglected to mention "AOE CC", "% health damage" and "attack speed boost" as well. *edit* Oh, I missed "manaless" and he's only ranged damage?Movespeed boost, can interrupt Katarina ult, tanky and burst damage, gap closer, escape, slow, stun, melee and ranged damage, two champion forms for 6+ abilities, sounds like we've checked the boxes here!
It sounds like only having partial control over when he transforms may at least be a significant aspect, though.
When they talk about champions feeling good to play against, though...do many people HONESTLY feel that enemy champions "feel" good to play against, if the person in question is losing? If so, which champions do you enjoy losing to?
I'd lose to a Draven or Sivir any game. It's always a treat to see someone play those champions correctly, although very rare.

can't wait for Gnar to TP into a dragon fight with full rage, Hop into the enemy team (thus transforming) and slamming everyone into the wall
also he's adorable
Adding Gnar to the "RIOT PLS MAKE PLUSHIES OF THIS" list.
------------------------------
Also, PBE patch going out now.
Including Arcade Miss Fortune and a new Kayle skin

MISS FORTUNE, KAYLE. TY RITO
Arcade MF?? whoa.
Gnar looks like a jungler to me. They said his jump works on units. He'll burst from bushes, bounce on his teammate and land on the enemy in big GNAR form. Smush.
OP
It's probably going to be along the lines of Rengar. Prep your rage before a fight and be ready to unleash it.

MODEL VIEWER SHOTS ARE WEIRD BUT HERE'S ARCADE MISS FORTUNE AND RIOT KAYLE

Gnar's release skin is called Dino Gnar
Riot said he's designed to be a top laner. But that doesn't mean anything. If his clear isn't too bad, and he isn't too squishy in mini form, he could work as a jungler.
EDIT: Also, Gnar is probably gonna push out traditional melee top laners even more if he finds a place there and his early numbers are good.

I have Aether Wing so I'll likely never use Riot Kayle
but I do like the MF skin.
remember those are model viewer shots (the Kayle skin in particular looks fucked up) so they'll look better in game

dave is ok
aztek is ok
Two of the last three champs are non humans and the one human was pretty interesting and not a cliche. Good stuff this year.
Now I like Braum, but come on.
The Russian, gentle giant, strongman trope has gone on forever
I actually agree. I'm fine with Mega Gnar though, it looks big and buff and sorta cool. Mini one looks pretty meh, and his auto attack animation lacks power imo.
I think Mini Gnar would die on his first clear. If you build it up and don't cast an ability he transforms automatically. You can't transform into Mega Gnar on whim.
You can still fill it like 90% then come to fight. Or, depending on how long his Mega form lasts, you can just turn to it and fight.
This is the worst.

this is the best
Hahahahahha that is incredibly adorable. I want two.
I like how he still transforms into Mega Gnar regardless if you use an ability or not once you have full rage.
And even though he got hard CC, it being tied to just his Mega form is a nice compensation.
Can't wait to try him out.

I can't think of a single champ that straight up dies on the first clear. It can be slow or requiring many pots, but anyone can do it. One you get a sustain item, it becomes trivial. It'll only be clear speed that defines his early strength or weakness as a jungler. He has the tools for ganking with a slow and gap closer. Need to see his numbers.
It doesn't say his rage decays in mini-gnar form. It's just like Rengar. You use enough abilities to be within 1 ability of transforming and that's your engage time. Two abilities later you are Mega Gnar.
but hes a qt
edit: yeah i was joking. idk. i don't think he'll be that strong of a jungler personally, but we'll see once his numbers come out yea. that'd be kind of hard to manage methinks. his bar fills up slowly early on. so if you fuck up it'll be hard to recover.
I'd like to see the script they gave the VA. They probably just told her/him to say random gibberish that popped into their head. I'm indifferent to the voice right now... although I'm sure a few games with him and I'll want to rip my hair out.

it is noted in the reveal that his early game rage generation is slow. Probably to not make him too strong in lane by having it up often and also to slow his jungling down.
I'd be surprised if he was a good jungler, but we'll see.

Gnar's release skin is fucking Reptar
FUCKING REPTAR
FUCKING REPTAR
If you're too low after doing the camps, you can be easily counterjungled and killed by any Lee Sin or Elise worth their salt. Also, from his ability previews, you can see his rage decay while in his mini Gnar form, I think it's a safe bet that it'll decay on release as well.
