The volume pick
Games of Legends lists 66 Gnar games at a 71.2% win rate and a 2.6 KDA. Leaguepedia's earlier cut, through 14 October 2025, had 65 games, 46 wins and 19 losses, a 70.8% win rate, 8.75 CS per minute and a 22.1% gold share. The two boards agree on the shape of the pick: it is both common and efficient.
That combination is the useful part. Jayce and Rumble carry the highlight reel. Gnar is the champion that shows up when a series needs a blind, a side-lane plan, or Mega Gnar on a set timer. A 71% win rate across 66 games is not a pocket sample.
Where it showed up in 2026
In the Nirvana group he played Gnar in the 2–0 over LNG Esports on 2 August. In the Regional Finals he locked it again on 19 September, in the 3–1 over JD Gaming that booked IG's Worlds seed. Public game logs for that series also include K'Sante, Jayce and Dr. Mundo, so Gnar was one game of a fearless draft, not the whole series.
Leaguepedia's per-game line on the older sample is modest damage and a 47.6% kill participation. Gnar wins for TheShy are often transform timings and a front-to-back fight, not a solo-kill montage.
