How to win lane as Yone against Gnar · 49.4% win rate (2,332 Emerald+ games, lolalytics, sampled July 2026) · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
Mini Gnar kites you — close with E, respect Mega.
Track: Gnar's R — GNAR! (90–30s cooldown). His Mega all-in. Fight mini form.
Read from Yone's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Gnar.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Gnar | Mini Gnar's Boomerang and Hyper autos out-poke your short-range Q at level 1. |
| Level 2 | Gnar | Level 2 Gnar keeps the range and Rage-passive advantage while you have no combo yet. |
| Level 3 | Gnar | Level 3 evens out: Hop is 22s at rank 1, so his kite has real gaps. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | By levels 4-5 your Q stacking and E survivability let you contest evenly, a skill window. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | At 6 neither ult dominates — it hinges on whether he's in Mega, so it's skill. |
| First item | Yone | Your first item buys burst to punish Mini windows, but a Mega bar resets it. |
| Two+ items | Yone | Yone out-scales Gnar's Mega falloff and R-flanks his carries in every late fight. |
Mini Gnar wins the first three levels flat-out: Boomerang (Q) out-ranges your Mortal Steel, and Hyper-empowered autos chunk you every time you walk up to CS, so farm at range and don't trade into his passive stacks.

Start Doran's Shield + Health Potion (vs his poke) and back for Core component + boots (≈1300g). Build Blade of the Ruined King (mixed-damage spike) first, then Infinity Edge, with Plated Steelcaps.
