Damage
802Mordekaiser
847Gnar

Utility
0.5Mordekaiser
1.4Gnar
Gnar brings significantly more crowd control than Mordekaiser, with 0.9 more seconds of CC per minute. This large utility gap makes Gnar far more valuable in setting up jungle ganks, controlling objectives, and locking down targets in team fights.

Sustain
1,736Mordekaiser
1,147Gnar
Mordekaiser vastly out-sustains Gnar, healing and mitigating 589 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Mordekaiser can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Gnar is forced to recall.
