I agree he needed nerfs, but the nerf by making him clunky is not something I agree with. Couldn't you think of something else ? For example, the knockback distance can differentiate by the distance from the target to Gragas. The closer he is, the smaller the knockback ? Not by a lot, but it would be also easier to flash to safety if that's your main concerne on Gragas. I'd take anything else other than this dumb delay nerf.

Requiemsfire1 votesIt's because they would rather have ruined a very specific combo of Gragas's by making it harder to land rather than gut him or give him a minor rework. He is still a very powerful pick with many of the qualities that made him strong in the first place (Sustain, tankiness, innate damage mitigation, mobility, AOE ranged slow, displacement ult, and a stun).
