And don't forget about it taking priority over every other cc ability

you use alistar Q? nah gragas fucks u over even though you cast first

That plus the sion ult size hitbox makes his flash engage completely retarded

And that's why he has always been there in pro play i can guarantee it It has 0 counterplay

In my experience, it's that the second cast hard CC overrides other hard CC if it's being sent by the enemy champion's body (like Poppy E). I'd be less annoyed with this if Gragas's knock back wasn't something you could caste as if you had the fastest hands in the west.

The speed Gragas can move is nuts.

You guys just need to get better. You're blaming other people for your own failures. Learn to look at yourselves and analyze what you are doing wrong rather than making excuses.

Ok, 1 that doesn't mean we can't complain. We can analyze the situation and adapt just fine. I do it all the time when I know I have to fight a Vayne because I know how to counter build her. Doesn't mean I can't find her annoying.

2, the hitbox in the video does seem rather nuts. Riot has a history of odd hitboxes, but sometimes they really get out of hand.

And 3, relating to point 1, I have adapted to Gragas's knock back when I play champions like Poppy. Namely in that I make sure it's on cooldown before I try to stun him. That does not mean I can't be annoyed or complain about the ability.

Points 1 and 3 are basically the same because people are allowed to complain and debate on a forum. That's what forums are basically for. So thanks for reminding me something I already know and providing nothing else helpful to the actual discussion.

Just another case of denial. You can't admit you're making mistakes so you blame others but when you do well you take all the credit for yourself saying it was just you.

Typical bullshit bias.

I was going to argue but then I saw this point. Are you actually serious right now because no one has shown this in the actual discussion. I feel you're just trying to annoy people to get a reaction, which might explain why you spammed that exact same post across a few threads in a short time frame.

Typical bullshit bias.

See, now I'm sure you're just trying to annoy people.

The dummies hitbox is clearly programmed to be larger than normal. I want to see an in-game champion hit like that.

are you trying to imply large men can't move fast?! =P

No, I know acrofatic is a very big trope with Gragas. Just feels nuts sometimes.

LOL! Just yanking your chain m8. He often feels inescapable due to how outrageous his hit boxes are though.

No, displacements and instant displacements take priority over other hard CC. I guess most of them are displacements, but for example Camille E and Gragas E will both stop Quinn E, even though Quinn E is usually cast second. Not sure about Poppy, but I think Quinn stops her E because Quinn gets a small displacement on her E. Alistar's is because his is delayed (I think). He goes into them and then hits them back, while Gragas hits them from further away, because of the shitbox, when he knocks you up, he hasn't actually hit you with his model yet thus your CC hasn't actually hit him yet.

It's the fact that I am pretty sure the only thing that takes priority over Grag E IS Grag E. Camille E? Grag E wins. Vi Q? Grag E wins. If Gragas E is up it is physically impossible to use a charge-like ability at him because he can turn around and E like 1 second after you and just stun you and keep walking away.

Personally o think it's because Gragas's E has a bigger hitbox than his actual model, so his E hits you before your dash would. It's pretty bs.

I remember pre-RW Poppy would get her charge canceled by anything, including flash, dash, any other CC, Side stepping so that her model doesn't hit your boot line.

Bouncemaster Zac11 votes

Fun fact: the hitbox extends behind him. Seems pretty op until you are the Gragas and you try to use E to escape only to be bodyblocked by a guy a full character model behind you.

I am curious as to your end goal with your acidic comments.

Dynamia1 votes

It's a bit acidic but we get this lots from you guys so whatever. Maybe treat us better even though we're a lower elo. Our opinions are just as valid as yours.

Sqkerg10 votes

Don't categorize all high elo players, and DEFINITELY don't speak for all low elo players.

Beast Brawler4 votes

Am low elo player, and while he categorizes high elo players I've had many people completely discount my opinion just because I was low elo, even though I was right.

Disembark3 votes

They probably thought they were right too/that you were wrong.

It was just easier for them to dismiss you for being low elo than explaining or arguing.

Low elos should learn to stop back talking diamond 1s or higher. If someone from bronze has an opinion that differs from a diamond 1's, the bronzie should NOT try to reason with the high elo. He shouldn't ask why either. He should take what the diamond says as fact without talking back. Too many times, I've seen a bronzie backtalk a diamond 1, and it's disgusting, because the bronzie is wrong most of the time. The only time a bronzie is right is when 500,000 bronzies are talking back to a single diamond 1. There's a reason why you're stuck in bronze. It's because you think differently than the diamonds. Start thinking like a diamond.

leona4lyfe2 votes

Given how free flowing the knowledge of this game is on the internet. I would honestly say that the gap between Bronze and Diamond has shrunk considerably. I know Bronze and Silver (I'm one of them) who have beaten Diamonds and Platinums in lane and won the game.

Guess what? The only difference in this game is knowledge and now that knowledge has become so widespread because of the internet Bronze players have a larger potential of acquiring the talents and skill Diamonds possess.

The game is flattening out in the learning curve.

Sinlaire8 votes

damn. you're right. I should be practicing to predict a a Flash+body slam combo to escape with my dash on Xerath within the .3 seconds it takes to happen.

oh wait. he doesn't have one. which means unless i counter flash within a third of a second i get cheesed by a monster hit box for being within range. supposing i have it off cooldown.

so how about some constructive criticism other than "polish your bronze" for dealing with an oppressive mechanic with little counter play. Last i checked even faker still gets killed so its not like you can just say "i'll just never get hit by it because i got gud." stable that high horse and lets have a talk shall we.

leona4lyfe1 votes

Um. That's your champion's flaw. Xerath gets caught in everyone's cc.

WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE.

Sinlaire2 votes

yeah. and the point is that, that's the point. The guy I responded to essentially said, "dont be bad and get hit". But what kind of response is that? Half of the champion pool has no mobility skills to evade abilities like this. And while that isn't a problem due to their kit being geared toward that being an intended weakness, Gragas retains the ability to use flash to extend the range or even correct the skill being missed.

Which means standard predictions and manually running out of the way doesn't even apply to this particular ability because it can make a 90* turn in .1 seconds due to flash WHILE retaining the ridiculous hit box the OP demonstrated. Body Slam on gragas is a short range, linear skill shot ability that has a travel distance speed. Anyone that can get themselves out of range or around the dashed ability has utilized the abilities standard and intended counter play. Gragas overcomes this intended counter play by being able to freely use flash to change the angle, range, and speed of the skillshot at will. This may come at the cost of the summoner spell, but it removes the skills intended counter plays in return for often being able to net a kill. also, as i'll say again, bearing this hit box.

It's an intended flaw, being removed to exploit an enemies intended flaw, while being really generous about it. which makes it very overbearing.
