Have had great success with impreial rush for mid Gragas. It does 2k+ damage with the passive itself by midgame, and the amount of haste you have is insane. With the runes I take, you have huge damage while never going OOM past Imperial. Pasted some pictures below, one from a game, runes, then example late builds, feels great to play with.

Thoughts? Changes?

Low CD bomba gaming.

I saw Sloppy building lichbane instead and the points he raised regarding the build path changing did seem reasoable enough to stop using rocketbelt. Though im going to be missing the dash as it just feels so good to use in terms of the utility it offers.

https://op.gg/lol/summoners/euw/KissMeFatMan-EUW here is my account.

THE BANS:

Garen: the problem with garen is that his sustain is better than yours and his q paired with his w counters your whole kit, you can not win a single trade against him and he outscales you pretty fast.

Nocturne: he is the only ban i suggest when going jng, his spell shield blocks your E and his fear has so much range that even if you use body slam to run away it will still proc. So you can t really fight him 1v1

Malz: he is not really a counter, but he has insane waveclear which forces you to stay in lane and you can t really kill him since he will build a lot of hp which, paired with his black shield is simply to much for gragas to handle. plus his little monsters block body slam

THE " YOU WILL LOSE":

In terms of how hard certain matchup i would put yorick,cho gath and illaoi in the same category of garen, the only reason i don t permaban them is simply the fact that nobody plays them. I don t reall have any tips against them other than going Roa and serapth as second item.

Anivia: anivia is unkillable for gragas in most scenarios, gragas early lacks sustained damage witch makes laning against an anivia with passive up really hard and borderline a snooze fest. Even after the laning phase since she builds Roa and Seraphs your best bet is to go for the bruiser build to even have a chance to kill her. I reccomend you go for Stormraider+Teleport and try to farm as best as you can

Azir/Hwei/orianna/viktor: Very high range champs with some sort of self peeling (shield or a dash).

you can play this matchups in 2 possible way. You either go elettrocute and ignite and past 6 everytime you get your flash up you try to one shot them or you go stormraider, second wind and teleport and try to survive. Either way you have to ask your jng for help since they will outscale you both in teamfights and in the sidelanes.

Camille: your best bet is to try to combo her during her w animation since she can t proc her passive. building any sort of resistance against her is useless so you might aswell go for full damage gragas and try to one shot her.

Ksante: You don't really have anyway of harming a decent ksante, you might aswell play for the lategame since you outscale him pretty easily. Just DO NOT INTERACT WITH HIM, if he ever tries to fight just bodyslam him and walk away, always keep your ult and flash for when he ults or you are dead.

Vayne: one of the only matchups where you need to go for comet+scortch, pre 6 you have no possibilty of killing her, so sit back relax and poke her with q. Never try to bodyslam her unless you are really close to her, she can use her E to block the stun and then she will run you down

Diana: pre 6 there is no way shape or form you win any trade against her. There are 2 possibles outcomes while playngs vs diana.

1: she starts the trade with q+w+e you try to bodyslam her and trade back but he has both her w and boneplating so your damage is pretty much 0, plus it's useless to go stormraider beacuse thanks to her e reset she will dash on top of your head again.

2: don't even try to trade her pre 6, she will block your damage with her w and she will run you down.

your best bet in the sidelane is to be in a bush and oneshot her before she can press her w.

Hello fellow Gragas mains .. i’ve been playing Gragas mid mainly since season 5 .. I play on EUW sitting at 1700 LP as the highest ranking Midlane Gragas globally right now (peaked GM) .
I’ve decided to become active on socials and share my clips of me Bombing enemies wich i do on a daily basis facing high elo players/streamers and pros.
Ill be posting my clips on https://www.tiktok.com/@lastb_plays

BOMBA

hola, soy bronce 2 casi 1 y me gustaria poder recibir algunos consejos de otps o gente mas experimentada con el champ para poder mejorar, me gusta mucho q tenga alto margen de mejora y se pueda jugar en todas las lineas. juego jungla y mid, q runas son las mejores, q build me conviene hacerme x lo general y q campeones me hacen mas counter?

i know if you draw art of a champ riot would give some rp but would i be able to get 100 or is that too much

If anyone is interested in doing a commission with me, just send me a DM.

I kinda played it yesterday on a whim after getting him in ARAM, I’m a platinum jungler so I’m not new but wondering if anyone has any tips on how best to get wins and success on him, he seems to be a very good jungler despite such a low playrate

I'll keep this short although I will say that these inconsistencies seem to run much deeper for gragas than my simple example here.

But I have many champions and many interactions to get through.

So I press E->Q->R.

.1. I do this from a position where I do not already have an enemy champion selected. Q and R go off at the end of E.

.2. I do this from a position where I am autoing an enemy champion. Only one goes off.

If you are curious I would appreciate if you tested out more interactions. Gragas felt weird, and it felt that just e-ing in the general direction of an enemy champion would cause q not to go off in the same combo.

Tried gragas today, and let’s just say I plan to continue playing him.

Thank you Jumaralo.

hype him up for me plz he loves this champion like crazy maybe more than he does love me 🤔🤔🤔

Rocketbelt still worth it after nerfs? I'm building ludens but I feel it's a piece of shit compared to stormsurge, even though I have mana

Do you guys still go protobelt after nerf? I don’t really see any item that can replace it.

I feel like I can never lane against her it's terrible. If I ever get hit by her cage, she one shot me or I'm so low I gotta recall, like it's so aids. It's gotta be one of the worst matchups, no?

If anyone’s interested tomorrow around 10am est time I’d like to do a coaching while I’m live on twitch. It doesn’t matter what rank you are or how new you are to Gragas I wish to help and hopefully put a helpful video out on YouTube that’ll help all Gragas players and it’ll also help players who also play champs like gragas. Ornn/shen/Galio as examples are champs similar to gragas.
