Buff Gragas - too hard to play and low reward for succesfully landing combos

He is among the lowest winrate champions now. Reasons are that his early game cooldowns are quite high and IMO Gragas actually is the hardest champion to use properly as you need handle the ult and flash combos or otherwise there's no point playing Gragas since what he does can be done easier with other champions. Nowdays I've noticed that it's nearly impossible to stay alive when pulling out a full combo because you have to go so close to be able to make it so you either die before, during or straight afterwards the attack. Gragas Q seem to be just too slow and low range you often can't poke with it without taking poke back.

The above regards to AP lane Gragas. Tank jungling is not viable at all. I can only succesfully play Gragas as a tank support right now.

Gragas is probably one of the easiest champions to gank with apart from Lee and Maokai. No planning ahead is even necessary, if someone's even slightly over-extended they simply die (often even while their flash is up). His early game pressure is insane. Whenever he's buffed he ends up pushing out other champions from the same role, as his kit just offers so much that you would want in a top laner or a jungler. You can't just recklessly buff a generalist champion like him without some kind of consequence to the game as a whole.

You should be grateful that you can play him as a tanky support, as most bruisers aren't near flexible enough to have that option.
