Difficult matchup requiring deep understanding of game mechanics and flawless execution. Patience and proper macro play are the keys to victory in this confrontation.
Except for rare builds, Gnar deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Meanwhile, Malphite deals primarily magic damage (71.92%), additional magic resistance may be required.
An important advantage of Gnar is higher farming statistics (ranked 16th among role champions) (versus 38th for Malphite), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.5 versus 1.9) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.
In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Gnar player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Malphite player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach. Extended trades without clear tactical advantage often lead to unfavorable consequences, and ignoring opportunities to receive team support can be a fatal mistake for game progression.
