i main gromp and s5 has been nothing but nerfs

5.7 - gromp smite buff bonus health scaling reduced to 5% 5.19 - range reduced from 550 to 250

these nerfs are huge. gromp is easily the worst champion in the game now. poppy, taric, quinn, yorick can all 1v1 gromp at ANY level. as a bronze 4 gromp main with over 1000 games played, I can say for a fact that gromp needs a complete rework. gromp's current skills are:

Q - Spits a wad of poison at the target, dealing 83 physical damage (Cooldown: 1.6 seconds) W - Hops a short distance in target direction E - Be dumb and switch to a higher health target R - Continually regenerate health until at 90% of maximum health

As is, gromp's only good ability is his ult (i managed to solo a twisted fate that sucked at kiting with it). my idea for the rework:

Q - Spits a wad of poison at the target, dealing 83 physical damage (Cooldown: 1.6 seconds) Spits a wad of poison at the target, dealing 83% maximum health true damage (Cooldown: 1.6 seconds) W - Hops a short distance in target direction Instantly teleport to a given location on the map E - Be dumb and switch to a higher health target Passive: Gromp now attacks two players at once. Gromp will focus Soraka, followed by the most fed out of the ADC and APC, followed by any bruiser top laners/junglers, followed by tanks. R - Continually regenerate health until at 90% of maximum health (UNCHANGED)

Already seems better than morde's rework

Wow. Freaking Gromp mains can't see balance is important. Wolves are even worse than Gromp right now, and don't even get me started on Raptors.

C'mon dude, Riot's completely forgotten about Gromp, they just want to pretend he never existed while shilling Tahm on us as the "new and improved" Gromp.

You forgot his pasisve.... target anyone that has the least health in team fights next to him and it will officially say Gromp has slain an enemy.

Gromp was OP and you know it. He got what he deserved and got to keep his overloaded kit for far too long. The rework idea might need help, but it could be tweaked.

Q is on a short enough cooldown that it could be a skillshot and upon hitting an enemy you apply a stack of bog fungus. Once you get three stacks that's when you get your percent health true damage.

His W should do 800 damage multiplied by his level as an AoE if he lands near other champions. This can also apply a stack of bog fungus.

His E is perfect as you described it.

Ultimate should stay the same as you said.

Also, this kit needs a little mini game. Perhaps Gromp could passively gain "king of the jungle" stacks for killing jungle monsters. Every stack increases the percent health true damage on his Q by three percent (with a hidden part of the passive that he gets extra stacks for killing the small jungler monsters first, you know, for that variety in gameplay. Do you go safe and kill the big monster first, or do you get that 100% health true damage faster by taking that early risk).

I think that with these changes Gromp can be a balanced champion that is fun to play as and against without all of the unfun mechanics of his old OP state.

Clearly last patch completely gimped Gromp, however your changes don't affect the ability for a team to just smite stun and burst you down.

Why is it that a summoner spell hard counters Gromp?

I suggest that Gromp enrage when smited causing him to deal persistent magic damage around him healing him for the damage done. This would separate the good Gromps from the great Gromps.

passive: killing enemy champ causes both team to make fun of the player who died and everyone on the dead players team has to type "gg" in all chat.
