How to win lane as Singed against Gnar · 54.02% win rate (907 Emerald+ games, lolalytics, sampled July 2026) · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
Proxy + kite — fling Mega, run mini down.
Track: Gnar's R — GNAR! (90–30s cooldown). His Mega all-in. Fling out of it.
Read from Singed's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Gnar.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Mini-Gnar Boomerangs you from 1100 range, well outside Poison Trail, but with one ability each neither of you can kill — concede the poke and set the wave. |
| Level 2 | Gnar | Hyper (W) passive stacks let him burst you in fast hop-in trades before you have Mega Adhesive to root and punish the approach — he controls the tempo in mini form. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Mega Adhesive is online: glue under his feet grounds Hop so he cannot leap out, and a Fling into it roots him — but Boomerang still zones you off the wave before your cloud lands. |
| Levels 4-5 | Gnar | He proxies and split-pushes poorly against you, but in mini form he denies your run-at-him pattern with Boomerang poke from range — the lane is still his to dictate. |
| Level 6 | Singed | Insanity Potion plus ghost lets you run faster than his hop can disengage; for the first time he cannot simply kite you in mini form, and Fling punishes any overextension. |
| First item | Singed | Rylai's slow on Poison Trail means every step through your cloud is a commitment — his hop cannot outrun the persistent slow and the Fling-glue-trail chain now fully sticks. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | In the late game he can match your split-push with his own mobility, and a well-timed GNAR! in a teamfight wall-stuns your entire team — the game goes to whoever executes their macro better. |
In mini form, Gnar is a ranged kiter who can hop over your Mega Adhesive and poke you with Boomerang from outside Poison Trail range — do not walk at him with your trail on expecting free damage at level 1. Concede the poke and set the wave up near your side. At level 2 he gets his Hyper (W) passive stacking, which lets him burst you in two or three trades if he hops in and out while you have no Mega Adhesive to punish the approach — respect those windows and do not waste your Fling on a hop he will just vault over anyway. Level 3 is slightly better once Mega Adhesive is online, because you can finally threaten a root-into-Fling if he hops in greedily, but he can still disengage safely and his Boomerang continues to zone you off the wave when you try to trail-walk toward him.
