Together we can fix Gragas!
Greetings everyone!
REMEMBER! THIS POST IS PRIMARILY ABOUT FIXING BUGS. NOT BUFFING GRAGAS. THE BUFF IDEAS ARE JUST SUGGESTIONS. THIS POST IS 100% ABOUT FIXING BUGS REGARDING GRAGAS
I guess the best way to start this off is explaining who I am. I've been a long time League of Legends player since S1 and a Gragas player since S2. I absolutely LOVE Gragas and I find him to be one of the most versatile champions in LoL. Due to "recent" changes I find myself not playing him as much.. Don't get me wrong. I approve/disapprove of a lot of changes Riot makes, but I believe this is just a little too much.
I've been curious if these are intended changes or just overlooked? Along with this I added some known "issues" Gragas has on the new (BETA) Summoners Rift map.

Isn't it already hard enough for Gragas to farm against other champions as it is? I take a look at current mid lanes and I continue to ask myself why I can't clear minions with 1 Q. It has a longer CD than most mid lanes. Is it compensating the slow that is attached? That still doesn't make too much sense versus minions.
Other champions that have zero issue farming minions using 1 ability.
I guess what I'm trying to say is farming on Gragas is truly a nightmare in real life.

AKA IT DOESN'T WORK. This ability shouldn't even be in the game. I don't even understand why I can't use any of my trinkets 
being the most important one; while drinking. I don't think I'm wrong when I say, NO OTHER ABILITY PREVENTS YOU FROM CASTING A FLASH DURING CHANNELING. Why does this exist? I don't think this is intended. -
http://i.imgur.com/CIfVpEz.png E : This is the one ability that needs to be changed and fixed the most. The others truly are just suggestions, but Body Slam... Gragas while I do love your Body Slam I find myself glitching a lot with it. Most of it seems to stem from the new map. Let me break this down in order.
The ability since the new change seems to have a wide beginning and end with an extremely narrow center. This causes a lot of problems with minions. I mean, a lot. **Image for reference : **http://i.imgur.com/Y8r9xAT.jpg I can see how on the design side of things it makes sense but why not change it to have a very narrow beginning and a wide end. This would make the ability usable in lane.
Now for the bugs
GRUMP! WHY?! :: Now I can recreate this bug almost perfectly now. If you are to stand slightly above grumps beautiful mane you can hit him while still charging through. This is a huge issue. Seeing how Gragas is such a terrible laner I've gone to the jungle. I don't really have too many problems with other camps just this one. Image for reference : http://i.imgur.com/tlZnKph.jpg
GRAGAS THE TIME WIZARD :: "Move over Zilean, I'm the true Time Wizard." 
":("
All jokes aside, this is a huge issue. It seems when Gragas body slams over a wall that is a little too wide for him (not a fat joke) he'll make it over, then teleport back to the original spot and thus using the CD.
Let me give you an example;
Image for reference : http://i.imgur.com/pGVgGqP.jpg
Gragas starts at point A. He body slams through a wall that is slightly too big, because of how it works the game forces him through anyway. He lands at point B. For some unknown reason he teleports back to point A. Possibly because the game couldn't find him on the mesh so it moved him to the last known location? I wish I could recreate this every time it would be some crazy LCS level jukes, but I can't. It's very random but it has happened to me at these locations a few times.

So what was the point of this? To vent? Yeah, sure. But honestly I just want to see Gragas restored. I don't think these fixes would be too hard to fix. I feel like a lot of Gragas players feel somewhat discouraged like I do just due to the champion being extremely buggy. Yeah, I know he's not a good champion but the entire reason for this post was primarily created to bring awareness to the community and devs at Riot to fix this lovable oaf. I hope a Red sees this and let's us know something will be done!
Thanks you guys
