Lets talk about Gragas Mid and Character Identity

"When we released Vi she was supposed to be a toplaner, but then she saw play in the jungle" "And that was her identity, we weren't going to go like Hey, max damage to monsters get back into top lane. We like to give versatility to champion picks" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GIkUV20p1_Y

So i used to main Gragas mid back in season 3. Then riot comes along and says, Gragas an assassin? NO, get into the jungle as a tank bruiser we meant you to be.

This is a plea to riot, REMOVE the 30% DAMAGE REDUCTION TO MINIONS (NOT MONSTERS) with YOUR Q. You guys said it yourself you don't like to force certain champions to be designated to certain roles, but in this case you forced us to take Gragas jungle to be the most effecient. Please revert this change so I don't feel like im at a disadvantage by picking him mid over jungle.

Also, please buff Full AP gragas by nerfing his base damage on Q and Eand raise his AP scaling to compensate. I miss my AP assassin Fat Man. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HckHohx2OJQ

You're kind of missing the point. The quote you took was in the middle of talking about how different builds should have meaningful strengths and weaknesses; I imagine Riot looked at Gragas' assassin build and went "We have a champ with a slow, 2 knockback (one on a dash), damage reduction in his kit AND insane damage? Yeah, that's kind of dumb" and nerfed AP Gragas.

I'm trying out random niche picks and decided on playing gragas. He is no where near as fun as he was before riot reworked him. This is just a plea to riot to give us some of our favorite fat assassin back.
