Gnar Set to Receive Tenth Buff in a Row in Upcoming Patch
Gnar, a popular champion in League of Legends, has caught the attention of fans due to an upcoming buff in Patch 10.13. This will be the tenth consecutive buff for the champion, with the last nerf occurring in September 2017.

Gnar has been seen in competitive matches 20 times this season, primarily in the LCK. However, his presence rate in the 2019 season was only 6.5 percent.
In 2015, Gnar was a strong champion, but his popularity has declined since then. He is known for his team synergy and requires precise timing, making him more viable in competitive matches than in ranked play.
While Gnar is versatile, he is challenging to master, particularly in matchmaking. His passive ability requires excellent timing, and he excels when using teleports to surprise enemies with a Mega-Gnar ultimate.
Despite numerous buffs over the years, Gnar’s pick rate has not seen a significant increase. The upcoming buff in Patch 10.13 may not significantly impact his popularity, as other bruiser champions will also receive indirect nerfs due to changes in the Conqueror rune.
Please note that the details of the Patch 10.13 buffs are subject to change before being implemented in the live servers of League of Legends.
