How to play it

Kite him early
Mordekaiser is easily kited early: abuse this, and look to all-in based on his W charge and his R cooldown.
Respect his R
Always respect his R when he's ahead: Gnar has very limited space to kite in the death realm.
Q stays in the realm
Mini and Mega Gnar's Q remains in whichever realm it was thrown in right before his R connects: time your throws around this.
Never commit to a fight inside his death realm when he's ahead: Gnar has almost no room to kite in there.
