Rengar vs Gnar Matchup Summary

The Rengar vs Gnar matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 5 recent matches analyzed, Gnar wins with a 80.0% win rate compared to Rengar's 20.0%, giving Gnar a 60.0 percentage point advantage. Gnar dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Rengar players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Gnar leads by 0.8s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Gnar has a strong advantage in this matchup. Rengar players should play defensively, prioritize safe farming under tower, and look for opportunities created by jungle pressure or Gnar overextending. Avoid prolonged trades and wait for team fights where positioning and coordination matter more. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Gnar brings significantly more crowd control than Rengar, with 0.8 more seconds of CC per minute.

Sustain
