Gnar was just announced a couple days ago, and is already live on the PBE. Here's a video of all of his abilities and animations (Subject to change of course). What do you think about this new champ? Do you think he will be overpowered? Do you think he'll be balanced?

Also, here's his Lore:

"The jungle does not forgive blindness. Every broken branch tells a story.

I've hunted every creature this jungle has to offer. I was certain there were no challenges left here, but now there is something new. Each track is the size of a tusklord; its claws like scimitars. It could rend a man in half. Finally, worthy prey.

As I stalk my prize through the jungle, I begin to see the damage this thing has wrought. I step into a misshapen circle of splintered trees. These giant wooden sentinels have stood over this land for countless ages, their iron-like hides untouched by the flimsy axes of anyone foolish enough to attempt to cut them down. This thing brushed them aside like they were twigs.

How can a creature with this level of strength disappear so easily? And yet, even though it has left this unmistakable trail of destruction, I have been unable to lay my eye upon it. How can it appear like a hurricane then fade into the jungle like the morning mist?

I thrill in anticipation of finally standing before this creature. It will make a tremendous trophy.

Passing through the clearing, I follow the sound of a stream to get my bearings once more. There I see a small shock of orange fur, crouching, waiting. I spy on it from a distance. A tiny fish splashes out of the stream and the creature scrambles for it, diving gleefully into the rushing water. To my joy, I realize it's a yordle. And a hunter, at that!

This is a good omen. The beast will be found. Nothing will escape me.

The yordle's large ears perk up and face towards me. He runs on all fours with a bone boomerang in hand, quickly stopping in front of me. He babbles.

I nod in appreciation at the young yordle and venture onwards. I traverse the difficult terrain with ease, trying to pick up any sign of my quarry. As I try to pick up his scent, a distraction. I'm startled by strange chittering. The yordle followed me. I cannot allow him to disrupt my hunt. I face him and point into the distance. He looks at me quizzically. I need to be more insistent, good omen or no.

I rear back and let out a roar, the wind whipping the yordle's fur and the ground rumbling beneath us. After a few short seconds, he turns his head and, with what I think could be a smile, he holds up his small boomerang. There can be no further delay. I snatch the weapon out of his hand and expertly throw it into a tree, impaling it high amongst the branches. He turns and scrambles for it, jumping frantically.

I barely get ten paces when a roar shakes me to my very spine. The deafening crack of stone and wood echoes all around. Ahead, a giant tree crashes across my path. The bone weapon of the yordle juts out from its trunk.

An unearthly growl rises behind me.

I've made a terrible mistake."


I'm 90% sure that this Lore was written from the viewpoint of Rengar.

That little yordle thing is so cute and his transformation looks like a boss. Yeah his lore does seem to be in the point of view of Rengar or Kha'Zix. I'm guessing Rengar like you say since he's not a void creature and is probably sane enough to write something like this.
I should come up with a clever signature... eh I'll do it later.

Zito

Yeah, what gave it away was him talking about trophies.

Gnar Skin, looks like reptar specially in the mega form.
Oh, you think darkness is your ally, but you merely adopted the dark. I was born in it, molded by it.

Zito

Yeah I wish I could get the bundle when it comes out, but I think there are probably better skins out there that I can get rather than spend all that rp. Plus I already have 10k IP saved up, and he only costs 7800.

I might buy him after they drop the price to 6300, but also could wait for when they do a 2 runes pages for 1. I play many champs that need a specific rune pages like elise, or some champions that need more than 1 runepage for certain matchups.

I imagine you may go on a shopping spree when legacy vault opens again like I did. :)
