I've only seen Gnar once. He got absolutely shat on by our top lane Ryze, which didn't end well for them of course. First blood came at like 4 minutes, and he just rolled on from there.

Do you really think China/Korea would care if Riot said they could no longer compete with EU/NA teams? In fact it would probably increase viewership as people would be more interested in watching the 'bad boys' play each other.

Well if Riot did something to negatively impact league in China wouldn't Tencent just step in and tell them no? I don't really know how it works with these huge companies.

tencent is way too big to care about how riot operates in china.

Spectating a blind pick Gnar mirror feels your ears so much, especially when they fight each other.

Got bored and decided to make this:

It's an extraction from 10k+ runepage names on the NA server, made as a word cloud. Numbers and other special characters were removed.

I been going red > wolves > blue. The help you get on red is big, and then you can just kite jungle for days with red buff, e and w move speed. You need the red early on or many junglers will make you a non factor before the game starts.
I just auto a camp before I gank and then run straight to gank when I near full, not optimal jungle clear, but optimal killing all the things.
I still haven't decided if I like going golem, our getting feral flare rengar style while building a dblade into straight tank.

plus its so fun kiting in the jungle, running into a bush and then coming out as MEGA GNAR and smashing that jungler who thought he could 1v1

I name all my rune pages like this now. I used to be uncreative but then watching a few streamers I came to see the error of "AP vs AD" and stuff.

My friend just names all runepages after pokemon.

I used to name my mastery pages after game of thrones spoilers, almost backfired when I was at a friend's and he asked to see my masteries.

Not sure what you're referencing, but it made me remember that what this interviewed person revealed is that riot doesn't want cross-regional chinese-korean tournaments.
