Vladimir vs Gnar Matchup Summary

The Vladimir vs Gnar matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 7 recent matches analyzed, Vladimir wins with a 57.1% win rate compared to Gnar's 42.9%, giving Vladimir a 14.3 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Gnar controls the early laning stage, but Vladimir outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Gnar needs to press advantages before Vladimir reaches their power spikes, while Vladimir should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Gnar leads by 1.4s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Vladimir players can confidently pick into Gnar and play aggressively from level 1. Look to establish lane dominance early through favorable trades and zone Gnar away from CS whenever possible. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

1,004Gnar

10,560Vladimir
10,609Gnar
Vladimir and Gnar generate nearly equal gold per game, with just a 49 gold difference. Neither champion has a clear economic advantage, so gold leads will depend on individual play quality, kill participation, and objective contributions.

0.1Vladimir
1.5Gnar
Gnar brings significantly more crowd control than Vladimir, with 1.4 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
1,678Vladimir
1,240Gnar

Gnar dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 75.0% win rate — a 50.0 percentage point lead over Vladimir. This lopsided early game means Gnar can dictate the pace of the lane from level 1, controlling trades, wave state, and river priority.

Vladimir is far superior in the late game (25+ minutes), boasting a 100.0% win rate — 100.0 points above Gnar. Extended games heavily favor Vladimir, whose kit and scaling make them a dominant force in team fights and objective control.

This matchup features a dramatic power shift: Gnar must aggressively press their early advantage and close out the game before Vladimir reaches their scaling breakpoints. If Vladimir survives the laning phase without falling too far behind, the matchup flips in their favor. Dragon and Rift Herald control are pivotal — the team that secures early objectives can snowball or buy time to scale.
