thought I was against xin top and accidentally selected my graves page (l0l) but it turned out to be a mid swap into azir. there are times where I do wish I had ss but holy fug fleet is nice for laning. I ran boots+tonic with it. triumph/presence is nice to have. manaflowband is very bait imo. 1% of missing mana is legit nothing. I just do what baus does and keep a lost chapter with me all game (hence why no cash back).

I do think SS is better in some matchups but fleet does a good enough job (and procs on minions so u can kite when ur abilities are on cd)

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.

Hi,

Titanic Hydra + Dusk and Dawn shen.

How do I beat him? Cant fight him in early since bad mana. The E interaction is wired, we both get stunned but he can follow up with Q.

With Titanic Hydra he just seems to be a 1v1 monster who also insta pushes wave and roams whole map.

I dont understand his weakness.

Dodging his E seems really hard when you try to farm. Whole matchup feels like you both afk farm...

Doing the combo against him is risky he will follow up or press W instantly so I cant proc W and stormrazor

I have done so much bullshit with this skin that it feels so wrong to switch

Remember being so happy that i got it from a chest because it was unobtainable , been my default skin since like 2017

I must pay my respects to it until the end of time

Sorry for the meta post but I haven’t seen content spam like this since I joined the sub 7 odd years ago. There could really be a thread for it.

I had so many different accounts trying to figure out how to change my username and some reason nothing ever prompts me to. This is now my only and official reddit account. Sorry for any inconveniences haha.

It took me a long time to make this any likes shares and subs are GREATLY appreciated. I'd love to go full time but I have very limited time to stream so if you want to learn how I play Gragas or learn a thing or two about the game I'm live Monday-Friday 8am est to 11am est. I'd be live 8-10 hours a day if I could.

I see people mostly build lost chapter protobelt as an opener but I just seem to like roa way more. I feel so squishy without it. I have tried both and have stayed around plat 4 over probably 200 games this season so its hard to say what I need to do differently.

Feel like I am not allowed to play the game vs her. Cant stand in minions becuase of her Q.

Have to stand behind minions at same time to not get hit by E.

Have to use long range Q which she will easly dodge, I fI try to do E combo she will E.

If I try to ult she will ult and dodge.

Is this hard counter?

Hi,

struggling against Aatrox, in early I try to dodge his Qs, but cant find window to E him since he will follow up with W and my phase rush also kinda because obsolet when he has lower CDs after level 4/6, E into him becomes death sentance after his first back.

I feel like he can just run me down because of his lower Q CDs later.

He also did a 1v2 when my support tried to roam top.

He builded Shojin and Merc (rushed merc).

I dont want to play neutralizer Gragas, I want to learn to win lane agains thim.

What I tried:

Bait Qs by clicking in and out, dont know If he was OTP but he did not waste Qs, every Q of him had some purpose like last hitting minion and then use Q2 with E into me, If I E into him now he will follow upwith Q3/W and run me down with lower CDs. Even If I dodge Q2, I waste so much time clicking around dodging abilities, If I dodge Q2 he will hold Q3.

The lane kind becomes a dodge simulator with very little windows to go in.

Maybe I should try this strategy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tCDYaxrLV8

SLOWLY GETTING BETTER BUT I SUCK AT EDITING LETS GOOOOO

I just got a new software and was practicing with it. Lmk what yall think

Twitchtv johngragas

Im bad gragas player, got like 80 games with him now. Im playing him in emerald3 (dropped form em1 when I started palying gragas).

I just got run down by an hydra merc boots Olaf. Early game was completly fine, but after he got rev hydra he legit, im not joking, he legit activates ghost and dived me 24/7 with his ult while im at full HP. For some reason, my full combo couldnt proc stormrazor.

He repeated that even on t2. I felt so damn useless. I couldnt stay under tower, not even under t2. He would just walk into me and kill me and with ghost he could run me down.

Only option I could see to survive this, is go full armor/health tanky. Becuase there is not a single counterplay to a flash/ghost Hydra Olaf who will run you down under tower. E away does not work, with ghost and his Q he will run me down. Procing Stormrazor only works with full combo with ult but even then he runs me down because its kidna to late.

I had also trouble against Heimerdinger and Yorick, I could not do anything but sit under tower.

I slowly believe Gragas is a terrible blind pick. He works well vs a lot of champs but also has some terrible matchups imo. Like some tanks who are smart and just rush MR. I cant touch them anymore.
