How to Beat Gnar as Ornn (Top)

While statistically Ornn is slightly stronger than Gnar in the top lane, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage in this matchup. The winner is determined by player skill and understanding the intricacies of the confrontation. Studying this guide will improve your chances of success.

The magic damage that Ornn deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Gnar deals mainly physical damage (80.67%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.

Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by Gnar, ranking 14th (versus 55th for Ornn) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (1.9 versus 2.5) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Ornn Top versus Gnar Top matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Ornn player to maintain constant pressure on Gnar, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
