Yookie · « **Reply #905 on:** July 29, 2014, 08:08:30 AM »

Judging from those wallpaintings it's definitely something about Yordles.
My wild guess would be that it's a mutant Yordle, sealed by his/her (too much hair for a female, from the ones we have so far.) people or something and now freeing itself.

Or something entirely new, but most likely a Yordle. We haven't had one for quite some time. Last one was Lulu (?)

Mr. Sacchi · « **Reply #906 on:** July 29, 2014, 03:01:55 PM »

Is it just me or is the monster in the second painting Vel'Koz?

And it looks like, whatever that monster in the second painting is, he killed the family in the first painting and one of the children defeated him or something, and became Gnar.

That's just my interpretation though. Still, he was sealed in ice, we haven't seen Freljordian Yordles before, have we?

Yookie · « **Reply #907 on:** July 29, 2014, 03:42:21 PM »

The closest to that would be Nunu, but he's not actually from there (supposedly; he doesn't remember anything from before living there).

The monster does resemble Vel'Koz somehow. But it would be strange, wouldn't it? He/She/It only recently emerged from the void if I remember correctly.
I guess it's obvious that the thing in the third panel is also what escapes from the ice in the last one. But I don't think it's the same as the monster in the second.

Garlyle · « **Reply #908 on:** July 29, 2014, 03:46:46 PM »

If what's known about him is true (His resource is apparently "Tantrum"), my guess would be that he's something of a berserker yordle. In line with that, I think the implication of the paintings is that Gnar defeated the monster. He used to defend his village, but either had to be sealed or was sealed as part of a misadventure (got stranded in a blizzard or something idk).

Either that or no, Gnar, you are the demons.

Ryuu · « **Reply #909 on:** July 29, 2014, 06:09:12 PM »

just saying but he's not ice-based, freljordian, or a mutant.

he's a prehistoric yordle

Raikaria · « **Reply #910 on:** July 29, 2014, 06:39:50 PM »

*Takes one look at Gnar's passive*

Well; he's never gonna see professional play by design. Unless his numbers are completely busted. Don't get me wrong; it's a FUN design but it's also competitively doomed.

Also Mega Gnar's Bolder Toss is literally a copy and paste of Undertow. Throw projectile which passes through people. Slows targets hit. If you pick it up; you get cooldown reduced!

Edit: Wait 2nd look says not quite; it dosen't pass through it's an AoE slow on contact. Still very similar.

Good job Rito

. Wondering how it's being given out seeing codes are RIP.

Honestly there are very very few genuinely unique abilities in League - almost everything else you can argue "oh it's this with a slight difference".

that aside oh my fucking god that's adorable

yeah but that doesn't stop the anti-riot circlejerk from screaming this about every ability when something new is announced

Raikaria · « **Reply #913 on:** July 29, 2014, 07:24:04 PM »

Yeah but the difference is it's taking the uniqueness from a unique mechanic Olaf had.

It kinda sucks for Olaf.

No ither champion had that 'pick up skillshot get Cooldown refund' mechanic.

Garlyle · « **Reply #914 on:** July 29, 2014, 07:36:42 PM »

Also technically doing a variant on Draven through having to watch his position to catch a skillshot, but eh, whatever.

I guess, but it's not like that defined him.

Only if paired with Hula Annie.

Sona MF is now the best bot lane duo ever

Raikaria · « **Reply #920 on:** July 29, 2014, 09:14:55 PM »

Gnar also is stealing Tristana's passive.

His range scales from 400 [Lol; new lowest for ranged characters] to 502 [Why the 2?].

And it's not listed anywhere on his character; but Reds confirmed it. Apparently it's because they don't want him to be oppressive in lane; but 400 range mini would be WORTHLESS in a teamfight.

Aba Matindesu! · « **Reply #921 on:** July 29, 2014, 09:19:53 PM »

I'm torn between practicing Gnar support with (probably) Vayne, or practicing Sona with MF. RITO WHY

Because 102 is 6*17

so there's official footage of sona's new abilities in action and OHHHHHH SO YOU CAN MOVE THE BUFF ZONES GEEZ OKAY

i was under the impression that they would only apply on activation and that would be pretty dumb

Mr. Sacchi · « **Reply #926 on:** July 30, 2014, 01:40:44 AM »

Haven't exactly seen gameplay of Gnar yet, but looking at the numbers, holy hell riot what are you doing.

He gets movspd per level, range, probably highest attack speed per level (is there anything higher than +6% atkspd p/level?), has slows, stuns, displacements, scales off of maximum health, an atkspd steroid, silver bolts with added movement speed and a ground-target dash/jump. I mean, what the hell doesn't he have?

I mean, sure, a good portion of these things is divided equally between both modes but Little Gnar seems to have a lot going for him and Big Gnar just sort of seems like a CC Machine that just so happens to also scale pretty well off of damage :/

Schezo · « **Reply #927 on:** July 30, 2014, 03:43:23 AM »

He's gonna get through pbe no problem like Braum and riot ignoring people that went "hey this guy is op"

As for the matter of what will happen to CLG during Week 11, the team will be using a 5-man substitute roster in their Super Week games against Dignitas, Evil Geniuses, compLexity, and Cloud 9. The substitute roster is as follows:

Top - Nien
Mid - HotshotGG
Jungle - ThinkCard
Marksman - Chaox
Support - Kon Kwon

the fun never ends

*looks at PBE*

some of these numbers do seem ridiculous on paper... 75% ms boost whenever his %hp damage procs? Hrm...

...well, I guess I'll have to see. At the moment, BoRK + Wits + rest tanky seems like a promising combination...
