Riot, please do something about Gragas on top lane

Please Riot, do something about this champion.

In his current form he is literally unkillable by anyone who isn't named Darius.

He just has too many tools to just be safe, thus diminishing the value of many early game top laners who rely on snowballing. (Or top lane in general)

If you are forced to play against a Gragas, you are forced to play his own "safe" game where none of you will get kills unless jungler shows up in which case he can easily escape and disengage with his ultimate.

Top lane is in such a horrible state with champions like Gragas, Akali, Darius etc roaming around being virtually UNKILLABLE 1v1 by the non-reworked champions. It's crazy.

Please do something about Gragas sustain, mana costs, or cooldowns at the moment he's RIDICULOUS on top lane, and I don't mean necessarily overpowered just EXTREMELY anti-fun and not in the good way either.

Actually. Shen does well against him. and the other 2 u mentioned. If you know the matchup you can easily win the lane.... Learn it.

He will get hit with the E nerf on PBE.

Should hit toplane Gragas as well.

It's a lot like lane Nunu...

I imagine that Kled does very well against him, however. Kled doesn't suck against many champions at all, actually. Hell, the only two I've lost to with him are Darius and Fiora. Darius I only lose to if I screw up (It's on me to outplay myself, not the other way around), and Fiora just kicks the shit out of him with her Riposte being the easiest counter to his Q since flash.

Is this guy seriously complaining about darius? And people are upvoting him?

Darius got trashed son, riot both directly nerfed and ninja nerfed him more times than I care to count.

His win rate isn't impressive, and the higher the elo the shittier he gets. If you're playing darius in diamond or above you're basically one tricking him or trolling your team.

even darius can't kill him. darius player in plat 2 here. and I do play gragas top sometimes

Gragas Q can be Spammed to CS without ever needing to touch minions and if waves push you can last hit without the threat of dying to darius under tower.

you will miss few CS. but hes the safest top lane tank for sure.
