Trundle vs Gnar Counter Pick
Matchup Summary
What the Data Means
Trundle, the Troll King, meets Gnar, the Missing Link, in the Top lane. 229 tracked games on 16.13.1 put Trundle at a 41.9% win rate into Gnar. Sitting 8.1 points below the 50% line marks Gnar as a genuine problem pick for Trundle.
With Trundle and Gnar both dealing physical damage, stacking a single stat answers most of it. The stat sheet reads 650 HP and 37 armour for Trundle against 540 and 32 for Gnar. Early physical trades read in Trundle’s favour thanks to 5 more armour. Late-game bases read 2520 health / 114 armour for Trundle and 1883 / 95 for Gnar. Base attack damage is 68 against 60, so Trundle wins the raw auto-attack exchange. Trundle covers ground faster from level one (350 against 335).
Hop / Crunch (E) is the ability Trundle has to respect, just as Gnar plays around Chomp. The pressure spikes when Subjugate and GNAR! come online together. One spends Mana and the other Rage, which changes how long each can keep poking.
With both sitting in melee range (175 against 175), neither side gets a free poke pattern.
Difficulty ratings read 8/10 and 5/10, with Gnar on the harder end — worth weighing before trusting the percentage. Figures refresh from Emerald+ ranked play, so this Trundle page follows the live meta.
