Gragas

Gragas has been a dominant pick in higher levels of play for a while, largely due to the reliable damage from his second ability. So, we’re adjusting its damage structure by reducing some of its base damage and AP scaling, while increasing the damage dealt based on target maximum Health. This allows Gragas to maintain his solid jungle clear efficiency while also making his burst against squishier champions less oppressive.

Gragas has been overpowering his enemies with his unrelenting damage. We’re adjusting his numbers to allow room for counterplays.

Gragas has not been performing up to par so we are making him a little tankier to be suitable for any situation the Rift might throw at him.

Gragas has been needing a little boost in the jungle. Now he will be able to body slam his way through the jungle and lanes alike.

Due to some of the changes we made to items and runes, Gragas can now spam his third ability, Body Slam when he gains a lot of Ability Haste over the course of the game. Because of this, we’re adding a new rule to this ability so that we can prevent him from slamming into you over and over and well…over again without any cooldown.

Gragas has been feeling a bit under the weather, so we’re boosting up his sustain and his payout for getting close to enemies if he’s building damage.

Gragas’ strong damage and survivability along with the utility gained from his ultimate, where he can displace enemy champions during a fight, has led him to become a dominating pick, especially in pro play. To reduce some of his strength, we’re increasing the travel speed of Gragas’ ultimate, so that his impact during those coordinated teamfights is less oppressive.

Since recent nerfs, Gragas has been struggling to find his place in the jungle, so we’re increasing his clear speed. We hope this change allows him to have more opportunities to slam into his teammates' lanes and give them an assist.

Gragas was dominating at all levels, but after all our changes he’s been falling off a bit too much, especially in high level play. We are cautiously giving him back some of his power in the jungle.

Gragas is a dominant pick in professional play and a multi-position flex. While it’s great when skilled Gragas players set up their team with a powerful knockback, (Ult) Explosive Cask currently holds too much damage and is available a little too frequently in the earlygame.

Gragas is causing too much of a ruckus on the Rift, particularly at the highest levels of play. We’re toning down some of the utility and power that he has in abundance, giving his opponents some windows to play around.

Gragas is very tanky with great sustain in lane; we’re nerfing him so he doesn’t straight up win all trades against his lane opponents.

Gragas’ ult is much harder to land in Wild Rift, and it’s a huge part of his play-making potential. We’re making it a bit faster so he can start the party a bit sooner.

We gave Gragas pretty hefty buffs in the Regional Alpha, but he’s still underperforming. We’re going to give him another slight boost so he can start bodying people.

Gragas added to Wild Rift

Gragas was running out of mana pretty quickly, and his full ability combo felt a little on the weak side, so we buffed his mana regen, (1) Barrel Roll and (2) Drunken Rage to get him back in the happy hour spirit.
