How to Play This Matchup
Power Curve
Gnar is strongest mid game while Master Yi peaks late game. Play around your power window.
Armor Rush
Both champions deal physical damage. Whoever builds armor first (Plated Steelcaps, Bramble Vest) gets a huge advantage in trades.
Range Advantage

Master Yi's main weakness: Hard CC, burst before Q, early invades. Play around this to maximize your advantage.
Gnar Win Condition
Poke in mini, engage in Mega with R
