Gnar is a character that may not seem like much but if look carefully Gnar has limitless potential in the world, imagine him interacting with the other champions that’s infinite comedy
Gnar meets runaway Sona: "MAMA!"
I don't mind Gnar not having a super in depth story. He's a furry little gremlin from prehistoric times who likes to throw his boomerang and sometimes turn into an unstoppable killing machine. He's simple and fun and that's all he really needs to be. Also his dinosaur skin is the cutest skin in the game and I dare anyone to challenge that fact.
gnar is an interesting character to me because he released when i was still getting into the game (my account was, like, level 10 or something). i remember everyone who played him in my games trying to figure out what lane he went in (he's ranged right? well he goes botlane. wait, uh, he has a melee mode so that doesnt really work. uhh...)
So with the whole “bandle city time is weird where are the future yordles “ thing I think that would be an interesting way to justify heimerdinger and rumble being tech geniuses.
Past, present, and future all in one place
Throw in a corki retcon while they’re at it
I like that idea, but Heimer is too linked to the past and the rune wars at this point. And Rumble is the "brilliant but too poor/too low social status to be successful" archetype, so him being from the future is a tad weird.
Gnar is the cutest fellow and I wish nothing but good things to happen and I don’t care how many retcons it takes
He’s the cutest Yordle to me, I love this lil guy
It’s weird as well. Now that LoR is “canon”, does that mean he isn’t the only ancient yordle anymore?
Yes
no, does cards yordles takes place in their timeline, AKA the ancient times of freljord
@@kamusta3446yeah i also think that, gnar is the only survivor
there are many lor that take place in the past or future. gnar‘s set is just a snapshot of what happened
those cards are clearly from before gnar was frozen.
Proplay liked gnar because he was incredibly oppressive in top while safe and hard to gank and his ult into a second stun could win team fights alone
also had like only 1 counter at time, so was an easy blindpick
@@Acide950 I mean even throughout the years he remained super strong, it's not like the newer toplaners all inherently destroy him or anything, he's just not top tier anymore since Mini Gnar was nerfed time and time again until they had to buff Mega to compensate
@@Yoshyguy21 Well, sure. Just pointing out that he isn't as dominant in lane or as safe to pick blind as he was. Doesn't exactly make him bottom tier or anything.
One thing i'd kinda like is if they gave gnar a "modern day" yorde skin. Could make his tail a scarf or something, give him a stylized boomerang and actual dialogue. Although, you do kind of get a decent glimpse of his personality without actual words.
Gwar after rehab ?
Are you asking for a "Simple Caveman Lawyer" Gnar?
@@Ani_Thari What? no. Modern day as in modern runeterra, as if he lived with all the other yordes rather than the 'prehistoric' tribe
@@TrueAterLupus I know explaining the joke is wrong - but there was an SNL skit called "Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer" - so to me a legendary joke skin like that would be awesome - especially if he comments about the horrible crimes of resident bad guys in Runeterra.
As to him getting a _lore skin_ interacting with Modern Runeterra? I don't know if he can be worked in any better than Rengar and whatever led to him being in Sentinels of Light. I think it is important to shorten the scope on some characters, like Kled for example, where they stay in their respective territories. I mean right now we have multiple world ending threats going on in Runeterra and Yasuo seems to want to be in all of them with Riven. Gnar staying Gnar in the Freljord, when he has Braum and the whole local line up to play off of, I think should be explored first before he goes near Bandle City.
Again, that's just my opinion and I admit I'm probably suffering from burnout with stories that go nowhere while territories stagnate or characters are forgotten in storylines that should involve them.
@@Ani_Thari I vaguely got the reference before you explained it, ultimately it would only be a lore skin in the same sense that Noxus poppy is a lore skin. Not cannonical, just something that would be a different in universe take on the champ. Zero expectations for them to do something like that, but would be kinda neat seeing a non-primitive verison of gnar.
The Casual Champion Review is one of my favorite series on UA-cam right. I wish I felt inclined to art and could make something but my stick figures look like they wanna Crtl+z themselves. Keep up the awesome work and keep your health first and foremost. ❤❤
One of my favorite champions. His inclusion in Bandle City alongside Yuumi and Tristana is awesome.
Gnar was the first champ i ever went "off meta" with in crit gnar. It's not nearly as good as it used to be but when you pop off its unreal.
I want a compilation of Nicky just making gurgling sounds at the end of every champion review.
By the time we get to Vel’ Koz I’m gonna be dead☠️
I love how the dr mundo video is still not in the playlist and briar is
Casual Champion Reviews are another reason to get excited for Fridays and I'm all for it
A Perfect Friday is a champion review Friday
I always bring up the point that gnar isnt a yordle. He is a ancestor to yordles to the same way early humans like homo erectus or Neanderthals but we are homo sapiens. Gnar needs his own classification.
I do play a decent amount of gnar, and to me, (atleast game play wise) he feels exactly like you described:good. he doesnt have any terrible matchups or any real stomp. He is a ranged character top but his range scales with time and he doesnt feel as sinful as a vayne top. The reasons you play him a as cut and clear as you'd think: fun time doing flashy ults, being a quick and nimble ranged champ whilst having a juggernaut background. In a sense gnar just.... well wears everything on his sleeves(or lack there off). what you get is exactly what you see, as honest and direct as that can be. He has a bunch of simple tools in his kit but nothing impossible to outplay or work around and same goes for him. I essentially play him knowing its going to be as down to earth as it can be ( i know, feels weird to say when playing a ranged top). As for the lore though..... yeah my boi needs some help fitting. He might need some change on his side as changing the world to make him fit doesnt seem to perfectly gel right now. He does have endless comical potential though.
Love the series! Gotten into league recently and have been going through your content over the years and I’ve loved it all! Keep up the good work and I’m looking forward for when we get to the Jhin casual champ vid even if you don’t care for adc
I always look forward to these Friday videos. They don't get many views, but they deserve more love because they're so good and sometime funny. Like Nicky's random "oh" and cuts away from his death. Plus, it's very informative if you wanna get into the champ.
Next up: Eddy, piltover businessman! Fun fact: Eddy wears a size 10 shoe! exciting league of legends lore
Looking forward to the Rammus review, aka the main character of league.
5:50 WHAT A TERRIFYING CAVEMAN GRUNT SHIVER ME TIMBERS
That "rawr" in the end was kinda cute tho :>
And I personally don't care how late Rapidfire skin review is, one of my favourite videos here anyway
"BACKWARDS BOOMERANGE! ... I'm not supposed to move when I do it" killed me
My OTP finally getting his own lil review thank you Nicky :D
"Not even almost, darling"
I understood that reference!
Gnar was always a pick in pro play not only because how safe he is, and how much he offers to team fights, but one of the main things. He can survive lane alone. You don't have to touch a gnar lane, Gnar is going to do what gnar does which is poke at the top laner when his mini, and trade when hes big, and he can get away from ganks on his own. Hes self sufficient one of the best top laners to just leave alone, and in pro play JG never want to play to top side. They dont want a top laner they have to baby sit so Gnar is just a easy pick, good into all the meta melee pick, can hold his own, and more useful in team fights.
So basically Gnar just went:
"I threw a Rock at her!"
I started playing when Lissandra was released. I realized I still consider Gnar fairly new until I looked back and remembered that my friend in college was telling me how playing Gnar was carrying him to play.
I graduated college in 2015. I'm fucking old. And I still play this game. Lol it's very strange but I understand that, because I'm comfortable with it, I keep playing it.
I'm also not angry and toxic so I manage to still enjoy the game lol
On that note, I still think Sett and Yone are new champs. 😵💫
About prehistoric pocket in Bandle City, that's basically where the prehistoric yordles are, they all live in a sky island in BC. You should look at Nakotak Valley concept art, that's where all his follower cards take place though i don't think it's pocket dimension just that time is weird in BC.
I named my cat Gnar, and it fits the split personality well 😂
Would love to see gnar in piltover. It would be the classic caveman in a big mordern city trope, but it would be so fun. Also I'm sure piltoven scientists would kill to examine and analyse a living prehistoric animal
"La Lucian" please my spanish brain is hurting
I feel like they can easily explain the prehistoric yordles by having it be gnar trying to put the yetis into the bandlewoods to protect them however lissandra gets there to the yetis first and uses the true ice whilst the portal is open freezing a big chunk of the bandlewood, therefore badabing badaboom a big bunch of prehistoric yordles. Also ye lissandra is just that old, the watchers were frozen in 8000BN whilst we're currently in like 1000AN she's a prehistoric icicle
In my wildest dreams, I am hoping for a Gnar skin themed around Digimon. Cause unlike Pokemon, Both Gnar and Digimons can revert their Growth. So you can pair both kogma and gnar in a skin vrrsus or something like that
Gnaar
Meet the Gnaar
He's the modern Stone Age Yordle Rat !!
i gotta remember to make fanart when my main boy Tahm comes around ;)
I knew nickyboi was a compatible soul because he gives the feeling of dinosaur kid just like me
Fun fact; August recently went on record as saying Gnar is his worst designed champion. Personally, I like Gnar and think August’s portfolio has much more of a lot worse…
But I actually really like the idea of a little pocket of prehistory in Bandle City, perhaps that they could have scooped up to preserve. I would actually like to see another prehistoric yordle that was taken to Piltover and learned to be modern and use technology. That said, I don’t really mind Gnar existing as just a little guy doing his own thing. He’s a good representative for a Freljord yordle with his primal energy and long fur, bones and whatnot. Interestingly we haven’t seen another Freljord based yordle to compare to though
After the ten years Bookmark we old players will be obligated to say ''Back in the old days''.... man we old
3:52 "I THREW A ROCK AT HIM!"
For some reason i was waiting for this
When he was released, I read his lore and it was the precise moment I stopped caring about the league of legends universe.
yoo i've been waiting for gnar rewiew for so long
So best way I can explain the situation with Yordles and why there is no future sci-fi Yordles, is cause they are a product of the times.
All Yordles are a type of short furry beast spirit. The concept of ages is tricky, and they may well be pseudo-immortal, but its likely whenever they're born, they'll continue to retain that era of time's values/culture so to speak.
As for why Gnar seems to be a gibber-jabber talking little furry gremlin, is because... when he was frozen and preserved on the day Lissandra betrayed her sisters to stop the watchers, he was only 4 years old.
For the wiki, "Yordles do not age in the same way as beings of the material realm do thanks to being creatures of the spirit realm and therefore have different concepts of aging.[3] In The Meaning in Misery, it was revealed Yordles also don't die. "
So really he could exist at any time.
Impregnator gragas child count lore incoming
there should be an update on the prehestoric skin line an gnar is in it an its like captin ganplank idk just wanted to say this lol
My interpretation of LOR card related to Gnar is that those cards show the past, before Lissandra goes Oppenheimer on everyone, I guess i was wrong
Read Gnar's flavour text in LoR and Bandle City page in universe, they do exist in the past but time is wonkey in BC.
Gnar is such a fun little guy, you can go tank ap ad bruiser attack speed just do whatever tf you want and be a lil cutsy boy
I think how they could fix gnars lore is by changing his origin time. Maybe he could be on runetera when the Rune wars took place and the yordles who were alive then hid in Bandlecity but he got frozen before he could return. The Primate Yorldes in Bandlecity could just natrualy evolve and develop to the way they are now, but since gnar was frozen for all those years he didnt evovle or develop. If you ask me this would make him fit a bit better.
Fun fact, as the Time you recorded this, I'm playing gnar
Wait I though Malphite was Targon?????
NICKY, THE 2024 SEASON IS A VOID THEMED, THSI MIGHT BE THE CHOGATH VGU!!!!!!!!!
Your ending gag just sounded like Gnar
7 more Champs before Ivern
i was a dinosaur and astronaut kid
Heheheh
I flashed NickyBoi >:)
Not even almost DARLING!!!!!!!
Satisfied.
Just wished Gnar has more story.
i love playing ap gnar because it does not works and that's how you should have fun in league nowadays
Totally needs a Gremlins skin
He would actually make way more sense as a Ixtali (dunno how do you spell it tho) champion, since it was isolated for so long, I guess
0:15 what bad word are you calling Top Mains?
Gnar is my “Ahh crap got filled Top” champion
He’s ranged so I can politely harass my opponent and escape at the press of a button WITHOUT feeling like a piece of junk.
i love when you play champs that are in LoR i dont know why it feels like an excuse to make a new deck
He was in proplay, cause at the time, the items complimented the gremlin enough that he wasn't a liability. This season, no..... he lost all his core item builds that allowed him to shine, and certain champion *coughs* Aatrox *coughs* are just so much more broken and could abuse a single misplay.
The whole lore “revamp” thing is so weird. Is Gnar’s tribe alive in Bandle city? Is Cinthria a time traveler? Did Lewis fight Jack the Winner? I’ll miss short stories
At this point, it'd be easier to say that the Cithrias are all siblings and their parents are just very uncreative at names.
Isn't Gnar in LoR a snapshot of his past? Given that if they made his current self, it would be "depressing."
Cithria, yeah, they need to establish what is past, present, and future.
I mean, if you take the concept of 'pre history' literally, it's just the time before history was recorded in any way. Given the nature of the Freljord, I'd say they could conceivably put Gnar around the time of the myths of the creation of the Freljord and it would be just fine.
i first played gnar when i was like… 8, when he first came out i think?
i just like him because he is cute and fun to play
Ironic that the character whose premise is "prehistoric creature in modern world" is out of place in the current lore of Runeterra. 😂
Just a thought, wouldn't it have been easier to do champions by release date?
He was supposedly to be the only cave men yordle…but theirs others so it’s like “what’s the point of gnar?”
Look it's simple, Gnar is the offspring of a Vastayaan and a Yordle. That or he's athe missing link between Yordles and Vastaya
Pretty sure gnar is the only pre historic Yordle the pictures in LOR are probably from his time and he’s called the missing link so maybe yordles evolved from him
Gnar has some of the best skins though
Wait but cant yordles not die? Dont they just like respawn in bandle city or was that retconned. Cause if so that could explain the ancient yordles living in bandle city now
Ooh what if yordles like fizz and gnar are the result of vastayan crossbreeding with yordles
And yes I'm aware of the ship implication and endorse them.
morde when
i feel like comparing gnar to quinn is unfair beacuse mini gnar has a pretty small auto attack range,most dashes are just as long as it is
his dash while a strong escape tool has a big cooldown and mini gnar has no forms of cc,mega gnar does has a ton of cc but he loses the mobility that he once had so you have to set up mega gnar combos before hand
I don’t get nicky’s hate towards the top lane it has it ups and downs like any other lane
The fact that gentleman Gnar does not talk like a classique gentleman (like chogath) is a crime and a half. I hate his "voice" with a passion and that would fix it thousandfold :(
Nicky if I wrote a "Gnar visits Piltover" fanfiction would you read it? Because I would.
I love the disgusting little sounds you make at the end of these videos
i think gnar is pretty unique, i don't really know what you meant by vanilla..
except the lore
I love gnar so much
Yordles "Parody" the culture they live in, Gnar's mega form and rage are a "Parody" of the Yeti's wild nature. Yordles are basically miniature Spirit Gods, as they are half spirits themselves.
Also Gnar is not prehistoric, because Lissandra is not prehistoric. Why? Because there is know *history* about Lissandra in the world of Runeterra, so he cannot be pre(recorded)history.
have you noticed more ad revenue from your videos since UA-cam banned ad blockers?
bagel bagel!
are we just gonna glaze over the fact you called anivia "anna via"?
Nakotak bibi na napawoah!
Ornn next funny champ
SHUSHU PANA
There are not future Yordles because there is not a future for bandle City. Something will happen and bandle City will get destroyed
Anna-via? 🤔
yeah gnar!
He’s so cute 😌
