Guide to Countering LeBlanc as Gnar

Tips for Playing as Gnar against LeBlanc

Position yourself next to walls to bait your enemies into getting stunned by your ultimate.

Know your strengths! Mini Gnar is fast, squishy, and has high sustained damage. Mega Gnar is slow, tough, and has high burst.

Managing your Rage is very important. Try to time out your transformations so you can get maximum benefit from both forms.

Advice to Win Against LeBlanc

LeBlanc's ultimate can create fake LeBlancs during her spellcast or, rarely, at a distant position.

The fake LeBlanc created at a distance will always run at the nearest Champion, cast a harmless spell, then immediately disappear.

Attacking LeBlanc first avoids most of her tricks, especially if she's recently used her dash, Distortion.

Stunning or silencing LeBlanc will prevent her from activating the return part of Distortion.
