Gnar vs Lissandra Counter Pick
Matchup Summary
What the Data Means
134 games is a thin base, so 54.5% for Gnar on patch 16.13.1 reads as a tendency rather than a verdict. The underlying matchup is still legible. Lissandra sits at 550 attack range with 325 move speed, the slower of the two against 335, and her repositioning runs through Glacial Path, an ice claw that has to be placed before it can be used.
That delay is the opening. Hop covers ground immediately and travels further off a unit’s head, and Boomerang Throw trades from beyond the root radius of Ring of Frost. Lissandra’s 22 base armor and 93.4 at level 18 leave her exposed to the physical half of Gnar’s mixed damage, and Mega Gnar’s Wallop plus GNAR! turn one successful approach into a fight she cannot walk out of.
The counterweight is Frozen Tomb, a point-and-click stun indifferent to transformation timing, and 1,883 health at level 18 against her 2,490 means a single completed rotation is enough. Rage is not a resource Gnar spends on command either; it fills in combat, so the form he happens to be in when she engages is often not the one he wanted. Iceborn Subjugation also punishes fighting near a fresh corpse. She rates 6 for execution, Gnar 8.
