Tips Against Gragas in Top Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
Racz says “He's a small threat, dodge him W with your W. Only taunt when he used his E, because that can cancel yours.”
0
CosmicTurtle88 says “If he takes Phase Rush then he'll be impossible to kill unless he fucks up, but he can't pressure you too much either. Before he gets Lost Chapter he's mana gated so you can abuse him
then by forcing him to waste Q/E to disengage all the time. When he Ults you can Devour him so you'll get knocked back together and keep the fight going. ”

7EyesNoSkills says “His kit entirely counters you, but if he can't kill you with his whole kit, you can kill him. He basically can minimalize your E damage with his W, Can dash and CC you with her E, he can put a barrel on you while you are CCed and you will get slowed until he explodes that barrel. His ult knocks. If you play against him, don't be greedy, spend your 450 gold on mr after you got your boots. He won't be able to kill you.”
0
WildSamu says “DShield + Red Pot.
His poke is really strong, especially on fully charged casks, try and dodge as many as you can.
His sustain makes it so that you will never kill him up until you get boots.
After boots and level 6, this is kind of a skill matchup, it's really important that you dont let him poke you down to much, or he will win all ins.
When looking to all in him, I like to cancel his E with ult.
He will try to ult you under his tower, so keep that in mind.”
0
VituVonDoom says “STAY AWAY FROM HIS TOWER, he will try to R you in it to kill you, and tilt your brains out. His E cancels your hammer Q, bait it out before engaging. Take FS or Conq page, and take anti heal if you're having trouble with his healing”

HalexUwU says “You kinda just run around him, he shouldn't be able to hit anything other than his ult. Not a hard matchup at all.”

NegativePhoenix says “Haven't ran into a good gragas top. Avoid his Q pokes, if he tries to dash away you can body block it and W his ult if you can. His ability power is god awful early levels so you always outdamage him.”
0
Aberrant Demon says “His E cancels your Q from connecting, keep that in mind when going for a trade. You mostly want to have him be the one engaging. Pay attention to his Qs and don't let him E or ult you into one, especially if it's fully charged. Farm up until 6 and then you can look for all-ins with Ghost. Try not to use your Q until after he uses his E to make it easier to stick. ”
0
TrinityForceYasuo says “He is annoying -> Play somewhat safe early on -> Poke him when he walks up for cs -> Level 3+ Dodge his E his your E or if you have Q3 make him use it on you and just time your Q3. You can chase him with your E -> Do not let him just W E Q you and run away with phase rush -> Freeze waves -> Go for extended trades -> Can time your R with his to get on top of him - Use E to dodge his R”

Potent213 says “This is a skilled matchup,
early game you win trades pretty hard, as long as you don't take too much poke and you manage your vitals you can win it, if you parry one E he pays a lot for it,.
Look to poke him hard and look for semi all in, back vitals are fine as well as he can't E to run away so u can parry for slow.
If you both use all spells in a trade you won that trade, problem is he typically runs away with phaserush, even without phaserush he can E you and slow with Q.
You can Q and bait out his E to gain some distance and parry it, hard to explain but basically often times Gragas players will E as soon as you Q so you can move back with movespeed and parry it.
The problem with this matchup is that once he gets 2nd recall he has a ton of cdr and basically pokes you down to death with small trades and Q spam.
The good thing is as long as you don't int early, once you get whip + level 6 you win as his R is a free parry, parry either his E or R both make you have a free win, although if you parry E you get a good trade but not the kill as he can R you out.
With proper tethering and kiting you win this MU.
Pull in waves and look for all ins you win them as long as his cooldowns don't comeback up again
Wait for your mythic and you can't lose at all with goredrinker.

BiriRamen says “I mean, this one is a bit weird, I really thought this would be a harder matchup, but I've won almost every matchup vs a Gragas. Let him use body slam, go in and kill him.”

Scallywag says “He can heal your poke back up with his passive early on.
If he's good he can kill you in a full combo after lvl 6.
Else you still have an advantage since he's melee.”

Trundledaddy says “Mercs rush will make it easier, hard to catch him especially if he has Phase Rush you do win the 1v1, but he has better trades, when mercs, pillar after he tries to run away, force ult and enjoy lane, hard to kill but you outscale later and can just kill towers.”

SilverAvalanche says “Bully: You just take grasp and win every trade, don't ever E him if he has his dash since it will negate your E. All you wanna do is Q him and use your passive and if he engages on you then you just E. It becomes very easy to kill him level 6 if he misses his dash. The only way you will lose lane is due to Gragas having better wave clear making it easy for him to freeze and since Gragas has very good gank set up it can be a very dangerous lane so make sure to know where the enemy jungler before you engage.”

Dawn Break says “Espera al jungla, y lleva Teletransporación/Teleport”

Federals1 says “Gragas looks to buy a lot of cooldown reduction and do very short combo trades before going in for the kill. You can match his cooldown reduction by having ability haste in runes and a lot in your build. Ionian Boots are very good against him, and after that Divine Sunderer ensures that even though you might get only a q or w off, you will not lose as much health due to the healing. After that Black Cleaver is very good to match his ability haste. Try to all in him at 6 and get the kill quick, or he might prove very difficult. He never wins 1v1 late regardless of your build.”

Nekoparry says “///////////////////////////ENGLISH//////////////////////////
In early game you win all trades unless you get poked a lot. Look to poke him a lot and then all in him.
As soon as you Q into him he will probably use E so try to react in time and parry it. After a while he will get a lot of CDR and will poke you down to death. If you don't int early, after lvl 6 you can fight him since his ult is a free parry. After your first item you win all fights.
///////////////////////////SPANISH//////////////////////////
En early le ganas todos los trades a menos que te poke mucho. Intenta pokearle y luego hacerle all in. En cuanto uses tu Q probablemente va a usar su E, intenta ripostearla antes de que te de. Después de un rato empezará a tener mucho CDR y te va a pokear hasta la muerte. Si no inteas en early, después de lvl 6 le ganas ya que su ulti es un riposte gratis. Después de tu primer item ganas todas las peleas.”

alexionut05 says “You should win any trade with this guy, do not be afraid of fighting back with him. You also should try to predict his dash. Be careful as he may turn back fights if he ults you under his tower or to the enemy jungler. Always make sure to have river vision!”

gazibulle says “Hard matchup. You outscale him. Gragas is an anti-snowball champion, his goal is to delay your scaling as hard as possible. Survive his Q poke with Dshield. Try to bait his E by either Wing him so he Es into you, or just running towards him and Q-Q. If he Es you (wait until his Phase Rush goes away if he plays it), you can engage on him with E and you will win the all-in as long as you are not into too much of his minions. A thing you can do is bait you are out of lane, so he will push in order to take the wave under your tower; if he does so by using his W and E, you can hookshot on him and he has no escape. I advise you to take Grasp so you can get some HP stacks and more survivability in lane. Ignite / TP also helps much in this matchup, as you can cut down his passive healing entirely. Be careful to ganks as Gragas has an insane gank setup with E and R. You can ult either his R or E. Gragases will often E-Flash to try to outplay you, you can spam R key between you and him and you will most likely dodge it. You can also buffer your E unto a wall whenever he Es you, so it bypasses his knock-up and allows you to hookshot onto him after.”

MHLoppy says “A pretty uninspiring tank matchup. He has decent burst damage and a good amount of CC - combined with his passive's sustain he can plausibly prevent you from ever being able to kill him unassisted. Fortunately if he's playing back safely he'll slowly bleed cs. Watch out for ganks whenever you don't have ult available (especially pre-6), since his gank assist is immense.”
0
Scarhawk says “Gragas has far better sustain than you. He can harass you with his abilities while keeping himself healthy. Your engage can be stopped by his E. Just play for lane and help out elsewhere on the map.”

Kocykek says “You outdamage him, outrade him easily at any point of the game. And you block his E.”

OliveeGarden says “take grasp. he does alot of damage out of nowhere, i dont really have any advice to beat him as i dont see him alot but try to avoid his e if possible and save E to guarantee W damage ”

Your Desired Username says “Mostly boring lane where no one really kills each other. Rush mercs and oblivion. Generally speaking, you win every all-in, but whenever Gragas sees that a certain fight isn't quite going his way, he will use either Phase Rush, E or R to escape. This way he can also escape in Brazil most of the time sadly. It is to be assumed that you won't ever kill him, so make sure to take Conditioning and Overgrowth. In an all-in situation, make sure to ult him right after he rolls his Q so you make it disappear.”
0
Black Demon Ezel says “Gragas can be a little rude with his CC and outright tankiness. I don't find him top lane practically ever but I've still seen it before. You'll need someway to mitigate his empowered autos and health. He has no sustain but he's veeeeeery prone to CC (stunning and the like). Keep on baby caging him and you should be fine.”

Rayli36 says “He's pretty tilting but try to predict his E and try to dodge his Q and you'll be fine you can build megatron cloak or hexdrinker if you need it.

Who engages 1st will lose the trade!
He can cancel your W but you can cancel his whole combo with your E”

LunaticDancer says “Nice sustain and damage, but luckily very kiteable for you. Gambler viable, D Shield. In extended fights (3 seconds and longer) you win hard, so aim for those. Careful not to get wombo comboed by his ult.”

Turkthunder says “Gragas is an extreme threat especially in the early-middle game it is somewhat impossible to outplay or maneuver out of your chance of survival. He outplays and deals an extreme hefty amount of damage.”

Black Demon Ezel says “Gragas is not normally seen in top lane but be wary. The Rabble Rouser has so much CC and so much slow that you can't get anywhere near him”

Avoid getting ulted into his turret.”

xPetu says “Tips: Block his W with your W. His E stops your E so be patient and use at close range or after he uses it. Passive shield Q poke.”

I Am Goliath says “Gragas top is actually fairly strong early laning so be careful, although not many people play this champion top lane anymore a gragas main is scary early game, once you have a bit of magic resist and HP items as well as your W max though this matchup becomes very easy since he doesn't have the burst to kill you and you can win long trades as well.”
0
Stinkee says “You won't run into lane Gragas very often, but if you do it's a pretty even matchup, maybe slightly favoring Gragas. If you charge your Q in front of him he'll easily just E into you and do his combo. Try to stand behind your minons when you Q so he can't just stun you every time. You can also cancel his dash your your Q (as long as you charged for at least 1 second). He is going to out sustain you in lain due to his passive so keep that in mind. This will end up being a boring matchup with neither dying unless jungle interferes.”
0
Sovereign Kitten says “Just like Galio, Gragas has a nasty combo which can throw you off from your escape route, however, you can also use this to your advantage simply by flashing into his ultimate to send you flying in the opposite direction (over a wall, into your tower) but play it safe into his (Q) > (R) > (E) combo. Which is often set up by leaving his (Q) down for the full duration followed by his (R) as you draw near, while he (E)'s into his (Q) where he has planned to send you. It's very useful to build some magic resistance to help deal with such burst. You can use your (Q) to prevent his empowered damage from his (W) activation.”
0
BoilTheOil says “Take Conqueror or Grasp of the Undying. This lane is a sustain war, except you win because you don't use mana. Take D-shield and take trades every time he walks up and force him to use mana. If he builds tank it's real easy, just farm the lane out and ult him in teamfights. If he builds ap it's harder because he does a ton of damage and he kites you really hard with Everfrost and Phase rush. ”
0
Phrxshn says “Rare match-up, but moderate. Dodge his Barrel Roll(Q), Body Slam(E), and Explosive Cask(R). and fight him without Drunken Rage(W) out. (Recommended Items: Demonic Embrace and Spirit Visage or Abyssal Mask) (Mega Adhesive negates his E) (Fling overrides his E) (Sustained 1v1 Trades: Singed) (Outscaling Edge: Singed)”
0
The_Unf0rgiv3n says “AP Gragas is a very hard champ to deal with. He will play safe early and then after 6, start making thos OS plays on you. You can block his Ult to fall behind you and knock you forward, but apparently there is a bug where even when blocked, it still knocks you back and deals the full damage. That makes it nearly impossible to kill him unless you have flash.”
0
quinn adc says “Gragas poke is annoying early game, and his range is slightly longer than yours.
Stay in E range of Gragas because his Q range is longer than yours, and his Q hurts you a lot.
Stand behind minions in this matchup so he can't E you as easily.
What I like to do is E Gragas when I'm behind minions, and then Gragas will E me back right after, but since vault is so fast and pushes you back to your original position, you will actually force him to E the minions in front of you.
This is really helpful to beat Gragas becasue if he misses his E, he is vulnerable.
His E is 4 secondsl onger than your E CD, so it is huge to bait it. However, if he lands E, the CD does refresh back quicker, so keep that in mind.
Post 6, use Galeforce + E to dodge his abilities and to also make his R put you in a place he doesnt want.
If you anticipate Gragas R, E him first because your E animation is so fast.
This will shoot you in a place Gragas doesn't want to hit you since he Rs in a certain angle to launch you to a certain place.
If you E first, his R can actually push you to safety, depending on the circumstance of course.”
0
PH45 says “Really boring lane since if you try to jump on him or stun him, he will just E on you and negate your jump aswell as stun you briefly. Just farm and try not to fall for his bait's as he can set up for ganks quite well with his E and ult.”

0
P1Legend says “This is one of the most anti fun matchups in the top lane that exists. If you jump on him, he will body slam you every time, so avoid doing that unless its on CD. Your best bet here is to jump to the minions around him and take ranged trades with W - W at 3 stacks while retreating. If he starts to get too tanky, just farm, he will heal all the damage you deal in the small trades you take because riot games is a good company.”

LoLReal says “No threat at all if building tank.
If building AP we have to respect his burst. Look for extended trades and punish him when his cooldowns are down. Pretty easy lane.”

Sporkintahn says “ANNOYING!!! --- Gragas has been and off and on Top lane pick since his rework into more of an Tanky AP Bruiser several seasons ago. --- Recently in Season 11 due to the item changes and incremental buffs to him throughout Season 10; he's seeing a lot more play in the Top Lane now. --- Gragas is extremely annoying to lane against as he can lock you down and neutralize you in lane and then later on in team fights. His base damages and even his AP Ratios are fairly high so he can hurt, but also his innate tankiness and kit make it very hard to lock him down and kill him in lane as well. --- If anything this is a farm lane so just look to play safe and don't die to ganks. --- Also do not try and all-in him on his side of lane or near his tower as he can use his Ultimate to knock you into tower.”

Psychopathic Top says “Champion is a stonewall. There is hardly an opportunity where you can kill Gragas. He just has too much cc/ and an ultimate that can knock you away. Easy to survive and just stack up and teamfight later. In teamfights focus on enemy backline and ignore gragas. He simply exists to be annoying and provide cc for the team.”

Alan234 says “Go Fleet Footwork.
Gragas Q poke is hard to dodge and has a massive hitbox so you need to predict his qs and instantly dodge when he throws it. If you dodge a lot he wont prock manaflow band and go oom a lot more often. If he throws a q on the ground, make sure you position in a way where he cant ult you into it. If you're low hp there is a high chance of gragas e flashing on you, so you can predict it quite often.”

JaxIsAHobo says “Literally the most obnoxious champion to play against top lane as Jax. He will bellyflop your leap, and harrass you with his casks. You get poked out, and you don't really have a way to engage on gragas at all. Build sustain and try to survive lane, because later you outscale him, or better yet, just dodge the match if you can.”

SethPRG says “His CC is super long and you can't catch him with your E when he procs it, especially if he's going Phase Rush, but if you go Mercury Treads first item then you'll be fine. Avoid his Q, and don't get baited into him ulting you into the Q blast radius. When he has his W up, it's not really ever going to hit you unless he takes short trades or will all in, which he will lose both of once you can catch him with your E. His ult you will want to save your Show Stopper for so if he knocks you into his tower you can ult him back out, or you can ult him to dodge the R blowback. In team fights, be careful of his flash combo potential. It's probably best to immediately focus him in a team fight by ulting him into his team, he doesn't really have a use in that situation and will be unable to use his Q well, and also be forced to either E or R you, possibly both. His sustain is very annoying so buy Executioner's Calling early, and take an MR item 2nd or 3rd based on the enemy team comp.”

deathwalker7119 says “Unironically one of Fiora's hardest matchups that isn't worth the ban.
You NEED to parry his big ass stomach stun, as this will cancel your Q and put it on the FULL CD (If you don't know, landing Q with fio halves the CD). If he goes full tank you need a lead before bramble, same with all other tanks. watch out for him 1 shotting you at half hp, and don't combo him when he is purple because this makes him much tankier and he will tank a full ult and still be healthy. Dodge his barrels and if you play the rest right you will be 100% fine.”

Womsky says “Lane survival, you E, he E, he Q, you Q, tell me a more enjoyable lane to be in? All ins are possible early, if u can bait his E, or if he wastes it, u can also out sutstain his mana too, but once he gets around 20% cdr just leave him and farm, no all in is possible post that point, DO NOT harras him close to his turret especially post 6 cause he will pull some woody fruity wombo combos on you and poop on you, mid to late just split and rotate away from him if he splits vs u, tax his jungler, do trynda stuff you know.”

RealIreliaCarriesU says “He is easy to fight but he can also stop you from auto attacking quite easily and keep poking you with barrels so he can be a pain. Also most of the people that will be playing Gragas tend to main him so that will also make things a bit more difficult. The way I tend to beat Gragas is stack up passive and look for level 1-2 fights because he won’t have all of his abilities that help him trade back. He is generally pretty strong at level 3 due to his high base damage. You can also juke out his Q and E easily while trading with him. It is quite easy to outplay him but you have to be careful with how easy it is for him to disengage from you after chunking you heavily. So, I’d recommend only fighting him if you have minions set up to juke him out so you don’t have to worry about him bursting you and disengaging. Be careful when committing as if you miss anything he can easily run you down so make sure you hit your abilities/have passive stacked before going for an all in.

tibs2 says “If played well Gragas can only q poke you. You can easily kite with q and if he tries to close the gap with e a well timed w can save you. Still, this match up can be quite hard to abuse given just how much natural sustain Gragas has so while you might not be solo killing him its hard to be solo killed as well.”

I Am Goliath says “You can win this matchup for sure, gragas should never really be able to kill you because he just doesn't have enough damage for how tank you can get and you should be able to hit your E's and some of your Q's on him, he does have pretty good escape but even if you're not able to kill him he really shouldn't ever had the damage to kill you especially after you pick up one magic resist item. ”

Saarlichenbog says “Gragas has good sustain and mobility in lane but it's not as great as some of the other champs mentioned higher in priority. As a result, you will almost always see him take Phase Rush as a rune setup which means you can easily predict his combo if you know what to look for. As he will always throw out his Q first, there is a small period where he needs to finish the animation before he can queue his E to ensure he proc's Phase Rush. If he fails his Q, you have a short period to make an extended trade and make advantages in the lane before it comes back up as he will not be able to run effectively outside his short range E. Be careful of his ultimate displacement under tower as this can really be a lane changer if you are caught out. This lane is all about knowledge of the matchup.”

ERNESTSAURUS says “FLEET FOOTWORK / SPELLBOOK SETUP - DORANS SHIELD / 3 REJUVENATION BEADS + POT =
Gragas top is one of the most annoying picks ever, he can deal a lot of damage, outkite you, CC lock you and if he gets a lead its really hard to be usefull. In this lane you should look to only farm, don't try to trade with him, he has such a good disengage, damage and a bit of sustain that its not worth trading against him, they also mostly go Phase Rush so its really hard to get on top of him but if you somehow get a chance to kill him because he's low wait for his Phase rush to end and then Wither him, since Phase Rush gives you a slow resistance while its on. In mid game he will try to help his team by setting up kills so look to splitpush and force him to match you in the split until you are 4-5 items, once you get to that point look to do 5v5's he will do damage and provide utility but he won't be able burst you and kill you.”

Grayified says “Lethal Tempo Runes and Build. Ignite + Flash. Dorans shield start. Against gnar you can abuse his low base stats on his mini gnar in early trades before he gets his jump (usually gnars will get their jump at level 3.) So for your first trade against him you usually want to wait out his q and either dodge it while you build up fury or if it hits you wait until the slow runs out. Then spin on him and auto attack while moving towards his turret to extend the trade as much as possible. Usually can get 3-4 auto attacks if you position your spin correctly. Once gnar hits level 3 if you havent gotten enough damage on him to look for a kill then just farm. IMPORTANT NOTE: Gnar's hop is a 22 second cooldown level 1. So if he uses it, then you will have atleast a 10 second window to spin on him (assuming you made him use his hop when you used your spin at him) to get another spin and run him down. In the mid-late game splitpush it can be hard to beat gnar 1v1. Ways you can beat gnar in the mid-late game split push, either you wait until hes exhausted (just came out of mega gnar form) so that he cannot build it back up when you allin him, you can build swifty boots to help stick on top of him thru his slows, if he face checks you in a bush and you hit your w slow that can be another way to catch him out on the split and beat him 1v1. When using your w remember that he will turn back to throw his boomerang so try to time your w slow to cast after he uses boomerang + an auto attack to guarantee you will hit it.”

Nabura says “Surprisingly annoying matchup with his Q being near undodgeable with high damage and low cooldown, he has very strong gank assist so you best bet is to just rush T2 boots and juke his barrels. If you watch enough Baus and Panunu Gragas plays you will see that they have small telltale signs of when they're about to full CC burst combo you which you need to pick up on.”

EntxRecoil says “Fleet Footwork Runes and Build. Ignite + Flash. Dorans shield start. Gragas has pretty good sustain and can deny any kind of all in opportunities with his body slam which is really good disengage. Merc treads and/or tenacity on your rune page is pretty good against him because it works against his bodyslam stun. Gragas will usually build 40% CDR so his body slam will be up constantly to stun you and disengage. The way you beat gragas in laning phase is by outsustaining him (usually his mana pool) before he gets iceborn gauntlet (or another mana item) or if you can manage to land a few crits with spin damage you can maybe burst him down with ignite as well. If the Gragas is playing well, you can just play this as a farming matchup. In the mid-late game splitpush Gragas can be really annoying to dive, so just shove him in and out rotate him with your superior mobility.”

wallobear53 says “Your spacing should be really well against him in this lane so that you have ample time to get out of his Q slow before he can reach you. Since he will be going AP, his Q will form the major part of his damage so make sure you dodge it at all costs.
Build up a big wave before pushing in to prevent Gragas from being able to directly engage on your with his E. Otherwise, he can W>E>Q you and then finish you off with his Ultimate R quite easily.
If he uses his W or Q to clear the minion wave, look to trade with him as he will have no reliable follow up damage to his E. Be wary of the enemy Jungler as Gragas can set-up ganks quite easily.

ModxLoL says “Gragas top isn't meta currently(10.16), but it always comes back around eventually. When Gragas top is meta, he's a problem for Riven. His E completely counters her, and his W auto attack can go through your stun and knockup. He also has low mana costs, and good health sustain, so it's hard to get him to run out of mana without you losing too much health unlike the Maokai matchup. With that being said, there are still things you can do to win this matchup. Try to wait until he uses his q to poke/farm, so he can't get a free Q on you after he E's you in a trade. Also try to make sure you don't 3rd Q into him without having your W up if you can, so he isn't able to knock you out of your 3rd Q animation. Gragas out trades Riven in short trades, but when his E is down, you can look for an all in, but be aware that he can try to ult you away.”

BloodyDream81 says “Match up relativement rare, mais pénible, gragas ne vas rien faire d'autre que farm à distance avec son A, et de temps en temps de faire un combo de sort en abusant du rush phasique, cela consiste a te dash dessus, A pour te ralentir et mettre un coup blanc booster par son Z avant de reculer avec le boost de vitesse du rush phasique.
Ceci étant dit je ne met que 2 de menace, car il n'a clairement par les dégâts pour te tuer en début de partie, et si il fait une erreur d'utilisation de son E, tu le punis et le tue sans aucun problème avec ton fantôme. Essaie d'éviter son E quand il veut te poke, et ce sera une lane très facile.”

He is beatable in early lvls all ins if u know the cooldowns(you have lower cooldown on E than his E so that's small window you can use) or if he has bad runes ( no phase rush), but the best strategy is to ask jungler for help.

Tips Against Gragas in the Jungle Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
Farmer Cleetus says “Gragas is a champ that will be very annoying at the early phase due to his CC. But afterwards you can outfight him before he can do anything due to the lack of hitting someone sometimes and doing less damage in late compared to early. Make sure to advance to rhaast if you meet a good gragas, if not, you can go Shadow Assassin also.”

Shark of Void says “A strange match. I played a lot of games against Gragas, but I never figured out how to play against him. Sometimes I destroyed him completely, and sometimes he destroyed me. The only advice is not to press E if he didn't give you E and R”

NegativePhoenix says “Besides a bit of CC off his E and Ult, not too heavy of a challenge. Early game is iffy but mid-late game you should beat him if you can avoid his Ult. He isn't seen often anymore, but even if he does go into you you're not gonna have a hard time unless he's super fed.”

GrayJinxed says “Gragas will be required to use his dash (E) to dash towards you. Use Q to dodge and W to avoid Gragas' Q which slows and deals damage. His W will reduce damage dealt to him whilst also empowering his next attack. Try to activate your Third E when his damage resistance buffs are gone.
Gragas' R is a skill shot which knocks you away from the epicentre of the explosion and damages you. To avoid being pushed into his team, try to Q onto the other side of the ult to push yourself away. If you're low health jump then ult and let the blast push you away. ”

YEKURA says “He's really not that hard and is extremely easy. Only thing you gotta do is invade him and make him suffer cause you win against him every single point early game. Once it hits mid game start ignoring him until you have edge of night cause you can easily kill him after that. A good gragas could be annoying but it's very rare to see them in solo queue so just invade him and make sure to ping his ganks cause if he gets a lead he will do tons of damage. If he goes ap you can focus him mid / late game but if he has zhonyas or is building tank ignore him.”

Asternova says “RUNES: Dark Harvest.
ITEMS: Banshee if his team is AP focused. Mercury's Treads if his team has a lot of CC.
GAMEPLAY SUMMARY: Gragas way to catch up to Lillia is a short dash, you can bait or keep your distance from it to not get stunned, his Q is also quite easy to dodge, so he isn't a problem pre-6. "Pre-6", because a well placed Gragas ult can ruin your day, kite him as much as you can and be careful with this ability, that's your only issue against him.”

BreadedBreadCrum says “Personally, I can't do anything against Gragas's fast engages and high fight disruption. Shadowing lanes and counter ganking is your best shot at shutting down a snowball. His dash also makes it hard for you to chase and CC him. Glacial and Aery are both good, go Inspiration with Aery. For AP mythic, CotSQ or Everfrost. Sup mythic, Shurelya's and Moonstone are both good, depending on how he is doing. Shurelya's if he is fed and Moonstone to provide sustain similar to his passive.”

Consolo says “?????????????? I straight up have not played this matchup in 200 Udyr games because of how weak Gragas is right now. His clear is shit until he gets some AP, and his ganks are alright (?) with Pred. Try to counterjungle early, and put some deep control wards for your team.”

Tormentula says “In low elo Gragas can be funny to play against because they typically can't pilot the champion, but assuming they know what they're doing, they can be very annoying with the undodgable E->flash combo. Gragas is very weak in dueling early game so play for counter ganks/invades on him, if he goes AP he's super squishy despite his W, and if he goes tank he genuinely cannot kill you in any scenario other than ulting you into his team (which tbh is a win if that doesn't include your carry) or running at you with predator after a close gank.”

NMFO says “Nightmare! You're not built to deal with gragas. If you don't mind playing against kayn ban gragas. Your Q only reduces attack damage, something gragas doesn't use. He has incredible peel for both himself and his allies in the form of E and R, the Q slow cripples your follow through, and the W max health% damage and damage reduction renders you useless. One of gragas's best matchups, so avoid at all costs. ”

Veralion says “Buffed up several times and is now very frustrating. Turned into a nearly unbeatable toplaner. Respect his flash distance at all times, as body slam-flash is instant and will force you to take his entire burst combo or be knocked back into his team. He can do a silly amount of unavoidable damage with electrocute and a lead if you misposition. You should have no issues winning the objective game and outscaling him. He likes to take Aftershock most of the time, so spending an ult to try and pick him is probably not wise. Do not go anywhere near him for a long time as hit kit makes him unbeatable for a fighter like yourself. Just has too much control. Get strong first. ”

poopyOCE says “He has a lot of burst if he is going for AP, if he builds Tank, you will have a hard time fighting him without your R, as your R applies Black Cleaver Stacks, destroying armour. Otherise, he is a pain to vs in teamfights due to his ult, otherwise, try to avoid short fights with him.”

Simple Shawn says “[TL;DR - GANK WHEN OVEREXTENDED OR IF JUNGLE DO NOT DIRECTLY FACE HIM, HE WINS EARLY. CARE HIS R+SMITE OBJECTIVE STEAL, IT'S LIKE EVELYNN, HE CAN ONESHOT A 2k HP DRAGON LATEGAME. 1v1 HIM AFTER YOU'VE GOTTEN YOUR MAIN SOURCE OF DAMAGE IN ANY BUILD.]
[Gragas is a very tricky champion to face, you won't be able to really win a duel, he'll either kill you or be able to escape, but you could try to cancel his E with your Q and still duel him. He's not that dangerous in teamfights, you have more impact on the backline, especially on the AA champions than him, but he can steal pretty easily any objective so be careful.]

Karasmai says “The only reason he falls under medium is because of his E which can cancel your Q entirely so if a well timed E lands it will cancel a lot of your in fight dmg. He is really easy to out path and out farm so power farming will come in handy vs this champ! If you go blue be careful if he rushes Zhonya and try to get Edge of Night to counter his R / E And if you go Red you can get Spirit Visage after Cleaver and you will typically outscale just make sure you save your Q for after he e’s and try to W him mid air. Also be care of Gragas yoinking your buff with Q lvl 1 if he's a cheeser ! ”

RichMrFork says “Not much of a threat to your gameplan. Gragas won't invade very often and if you dodge his abilites you can potentially beat him early game if he wastes E.

Kayn Mains says “Gragas's Body Slam (E) is able to cancel your Reaping Slash's (Q) dash which is why you do not want to fight him early on.
He becomes even scarier during mid game as he will be able to kill you within seconds through a full combo. Avoid fighting him alone unless you are ahead.
Gragas remains a significant threat during the late game, however, he shouldn’t be able to oneshot you anymore as long as you made sure to incorporate some MR into your build. Get yourself some Armor Penetration and you will be able to beat him given that you avoid his stun.”

Gragas is really bad for you counters your ult. Once he's close he slows you with his barrell and if you use your dash to kite, follows you with his E bodyslam.
The good thing is you outscale, but a good gragas can turn your own ult against you. If he does not get fed and you farm well, with good synergy champs on your team you can make light work of him later on.”

Caled says “Gragas is honestly not too hard to play against as Kayn but has some interesting mechanics to him that can definitely make Kayn useless in some fights. The rule of thumb when fighting against Gragas is to wait out his Body Slam (E) as it does cancel Kayn’s Reaping Slash (Q). Although Kayn is very weak early game, he does outfarm Gragas with ease and can powerfarm his way to victory in this matchup. Rhaast will be able to fight Gragas with ease, especially with Spirit Visage mid/late game. As Shadow Assassin, building Edge of Night can be a very good item as it prevents Gragas from stopping your engage in certain scenarios and allows you to get onto targets much easier.”

Loul_60 says “Early game he can be a bit annoying with his Body Slam, but once you get form he's practically useless (unless they have a Yasuo, then watch out for getting combo'd).

Good sustain and plenty of damage, avoid fighting with him early. As long as he doesn't get ahead of you there should be no problem to 1v1 him.”

Yuki H. says “Another AP jungler where the 1v1 is most decided by whether or not he gets his E stun off or not. A lot of matchups are decided by who opens up, meaning vision control is key. You can dodge every ability Gragas can throw at you, so be wary of where he is at all times.”

Alessa Beaumont says “This tanky obese beer loving [Redacted] is as much as annoying as Pantheon. Compared to other junglers, Gragas clears really slow but can also do it as if it's like he can infinitely buy pots throughout the early game. Most of the time, even on early skirmishes, Gragas can easily survive your all-in combo thanks to his kit. If you forgot to ban him and if you're not okay with going back to base every time he combos you, then what you can all do is farm safely and gank the pushed lane if possible. Denying camps without dying is also advisable, but not required.”

KhaZix Mains says “[4/10] You should be able to 1v1 him unless he has a level or item advantage in the early game. His early clear can be quite slow so if you full clear you’ll have a decent advantage over him. You destroy him later on if you have a tank shredding item such as Black Cleaver or a Last Whisper item. Be aware of the disruption that he can causes with his ult during a teamfight, always wait for him to use his R before leaping in unless you can get a pick instantly.”

MrPuggles says “ Gragas is quite a difficult matchup, although difficulty depends on how good the Gragas is. If it is a good Gragas player, difficulty can go up to 9/10, but this is low elo so it's only a 7/10. Gragas will beat you in most 1v1s, making it so you have to avoid him. His ganks are very good early game. He is extremely good in teamfights making it crucial that he doesn't get ahead, as otherwise there is no stopping him.”

spicy ricecaker says “Gragas wins every trade if he hits you with his e.
If you e in onto him, he es onto you for free, so you can't easily play aggressively.
If you have none of your own minions in front of you, he also es onto you for free.
Therefore, your goal in this lane is to keep the wave in the middle of the lane
”
0
Esrucnl says “Pretty tanky and can E your Q and get most of his combo off. Other than that he also has sustain from his passive.
Favourable towards Gragas for sure but he won't kill you if you play it decently. You can dodge all of his abilities aswell. Best is to play it smart this one and E his Q+E if possible and Q out of his R (very hard but can be done)
Can always leave lane this matchup and roam he won't push too fast.”

MrBlivious says “Gragas is not that big of a deal, the only thing that can end you is his belly flop stun, and his ult which just pushes you but you should have enough mobility.”

donidaking says “THE ALCOHOL ENJOYER!
He s pretty had to kill because of his passive but his q mana cost got increased a while ago so he s gonna run out of mana pretty quickly.
If you have the range advantage so just poke him as much as you want since he doesn t really have any dmg to kill you if he s running teleport.
His W reduces dmg so go Sorcerer shoes.
if you re against him midlane and he s running electro+ignite he can one shot you in a combo at level 6.
Phase rush toplane , electro mid.”

The_Unf0rgiv3n says “The only way he's ever gonna kill you is with his R into his barrel into E combo. If you can position yourself properly on the lane, you wont have much of a problem versus him.”

ThePieBeam says “Lol Gragas. Nah on a serious note just abuse his really shit early and you'll be fine. His R is a serious threat but only if he has followup from jg or if you're getting knocked into turret so post 6, ward and don't be stupid. Otherwise, it's a free lane from the fat man.”

TcKatfish says “[Press The Attack Runes / Long Sword and Refillable Pots start.] For Gragas you want to keep minions in between him and yourself while punishing him for taking farm. Keep your distance and don't get hit with E and you can constantly harass him. Post 6 be extra careful of Gragas' R. Maintain your distance and keep minions between yourself and him. Punish Gragas for using his E at any point that he does.”

lonestar1870 says “You don't see Gragas mid much anymore after his mini rework, but you shouldn't really struggle into him.
He will heal from your poke with his passive, so don't run oom trying to poke him out of lane.
Be careful of his E-Flash. If he starts to E randomly, he's probably going to flash.
Position carefully since he will try to ult you back into a gank or into the enemy team.
He actually does a lot more damage than you'd expect so be careful.
Banshee's can lower his damage a lot, but you can also Zhonyas his combo. You can go Liandries if the other team has other tanky champs. Cosmic Drive and Everfrost can be decent if you think you need the HP and the CDR is good to keep E up.
PR is nice to match (in case he goes it), but Electrocute is good for solokilling since Gragas mid sometimes takes electrocute too.
You can go TP or ignite depending on if you're going for solo kills.”
0
Desperate Nasus says “Laning Against Gragas is fine. First 2 levels he cant do much. When Gragas hits level 3 you should not walk up for any Cs because of his full trade. On your first recall buy sheen so you can heal back. Lane gets pretty easy after level 6, he has no kill pressure on you. Bad news are that you cant kill him either. A good Gragas will never die to a Nasus. Try to farm as much as possible and keep your resources for objectives.”

Do your best to dodge his Q poke and just farm/scale bc realistically u will never kill him until after zerks + zeal bc your Q CD isn't low enough to get consistent nados. Post 6 you can kill him, but just be careful bc he will ult you into his tower.”

WayOfTheTempesst says “Gragas is a fairly easy lane.
If he goes tank, you should win every all-in against him. Windwall his Q and back out if he is charging up his W since he has a lot of damage reduction when it's active.
If he goes pure AP, get an early Hexdrinker or Null-Magic Mantle so he can't one shot you.”

Katawina52 says “Impossible to ever kill 1v1 he has everything in his kit that counters Kat: (Sustain/CC/Burst/Mobility) Just avoid him 1v1 always or u will lose no matter how good u play it.”

Polarshift says “You have better waveclear and hes melee so you can keep poking him before level 6. Thing is, he has really good sustain. Don't get hit by his bodyslam or he will chunk you for a big amount of your health and maybe even kill you after level 6 if he has ignite. Use your superior wave-clear to roam.”

XayLies says “Gragas isn't annoying... you can kill him easily I believe. just beware of his damage.”

Dr Eggmund says “His all-ining potential is huge. If you lane against him be very cautious at level 6 as his ult will send you flying into him and his jungler for an easy kill on you. Poke as usual and if you know where the enemy jungler is try and kill him with the all-in combo.”

Elite500 says “Kill him once and lane is gg. rushing sorc makes him unable to do anything, if he has ignite and buys ap then respect the fuck out of his electro combo or it'll oneshot you also his drinking animaton grants him % dmg reduction so play mindgames with him that you don't burst him when he's doing that”

resetwice says “He has hard CC but you can trade him easy. Let him waste any of his abilities and all win. Try to jump a wall while his E or R animation and get close to him with a full combo. BEST RUNES TO GO: ELECTROCUTE”

Sylvan Lore says “Gragas mid, much like garages top, is a strong laning champion with heavy AP damage. Stacking early ability haste, he is a menace at quick trades where he drops his combo and quickly escapes to a safe range. Due to the type of builds he goes for, building magic resistance is effective against him. Building standard is completely acceptable, although I would recommend fitting in a banshee veil to negate his ability to pick you from long range while also stacking a ton of extra magic resistance. This is a lane where going even and not dying is more than enough to lead to a victory.”

Kippari says “Every jungler who can gank early is dangerous, Gragas is pretty squishy but does damage and has CC.”

Hienaa says “You cant go in as long as he has his E, he is just very tanky overall, with his W and base hp, his E and R wont let you play, outsustains you with passive.”

nZk01 says “(Top) actually hard matchup because of his sustain and all in potential, care about his ult that can push you into his tower so hold your range and always try to stay behind minions because of his E, would recommend TP/Ignite.”

TheSecretsWithin says “At lvl 1, soak him Q damage with your Q shield when farming, but respect his passive healing. At lvl 2, back off his E Q aa combo will be too much for your Q shield early, so take note of it and back off. At lvl 5, be careful. He is most likely gonna try to rush his lvl 6 power spike. Be patient and wait for him to waste his E, without it he is just another immobile AP mid lane. You can punish him hard because of it.”

A55AILANT says “You have better waveclear and hes melee.

Black Shadow QIYANA says “Ignore him only if you get a gank from jgl and he misses xp and gold you can be even with him otherwise just roam till you get fed and can 1v1 him otherwise he will kill you easily.”

peytonqt says “[EVEN] [PR/Conqueror] [D Blade/Tear] Gragas has strong trading but is predominantly melee. With this in mind look to harass and punish him for CSing. Watch out for his engage though because it is decently strong. Remember that the main mechanic on Gragas is him a buffered flash dash. However, if he does get onto you just Hammer Form E him away and start to poke him again. His R is a good tool to get you back into his range and you should try to juke it if he does throw it.”

Zileni says “Gragas is a very easy matchup, especially for a dash champion. You can trade very easily with just autos alone and punish him for any of his mistakes.”

PASS10NE says “Gragas mid has better sustain than you thanks to his passive, so most of the time he's willing to trade with you. It would be really good if you can dodge his E.”

Lot of Wind here says “A situational matchup. Gragas wins trades if he hits his E, you can block the cast of his Q and his R explodes on your wall ; knocking back allies just before it.”

KASSAW1N says “
Kass vs Gragas: Evita su E, si el está a una larga distancia y te utiliza su E desde esa distancia flashea o utiliza Tu R para escapar porque probablemente te use el como para matarte o que te gankeen. Espera que gaste su Barril del suelo o tradea corto, eso si, para entrar a tradear tienes que esquivar su E o esperar que lo gaste para mas chance de ganar. (Compra eco de luden para mas daño explosivo o hielo eterno)”

OxiteoMyst says “Minions are your friend, if you stand behind minions he is unable to E you. Viktors Q can tank the majority of gragas Q and he wont be able to get into your range, just watch out for his R as it can knock you into their team. ”

WolfRider01 says “AP Gragas mid does a lot of damage and can easily destroy you. Play around his cooldowns and mana, and play back. Ask for ganks when you can, but be aggressive if he makes mistakes. Play for defensive, but be offensive when he makes a mistake.”

Bobbab says “He can displace you from your e/w combo. His combo is dodgeable with your e, but be careful to all in him when his e or ult is up as he can easily turn it with one or two tower shots.”

TheCatOfCheshire says “Not really hard, take care of his early burst, he got more dmg than you in early, but you can poke him with AA and land free charm on his dash. Use your ultimate to position yourself when he's ulting you. You got a better clear and a slightly better roam so use it.”
0
Yeager says “Pre 6 he will try to poke you with his Q until you are low enough hp for him to all-in with flash. Get boots fast, and recall whenever you are low hp. Post-6: Watch out for his E+Flash into ult. Farm towards your second item banshee's veil and you are safe. ”

FalleN3 says “Don't really see him in mid-lane anymore but you need to be careful against him. Pretty much a skill match-up but don't underestimate him. You need to be careful if chasing him as he can turn on you with his body slam because of it's low cooldown. It is possible for you to use your (E) to leap over all of his abilities, use this to your advantage. He gets tanky as the game progresses so look for kills elsewhere after level 6 unless you have a clear chance of killing him.”

Fadedreformed says “Pretty easy matchup care for his combo he does an insane amount of damage and you won't be expecting it”

Yuki H. says “A very niche pick that you could encounter, and luckily not a very difficult one. Take note of the fancy combos Gragas can pull off post 6 with his body slam -> ulting and dunking you into the pre-placed barrel. Aside from the YouTube clips, just make sure to avoid walking into places with no vision since Gragas can be just sitting there, which wastes his time if you do not give him the kill. Laning is fairly simple. He has a barrel, and that's pretty much it, unless he plans on an all-in which consists of his body slam which can be dodged with decent positioning. ”

Brentonlop says “He is too tanky to burst. KIlling him will be hard but he wont likely kill you. Get ahead in CS or roam.”
0
Zoe Sparklepop says “Getting anti heal against Big Chungus would be good since he can fairly well tank your poke with Doran's Shield and his passive.
Do not let him get his E off when you're out of the minion wave and watch for the ult, don't get pushy.
He might look jolly and all but he'll drink you under the table if you're not careful.”

Gageowago says “Deceivingly hard lane to play. Will poke with his barrel constantly. Is not able to do too much damage before getting items but can disengage from you easily with slows and cc. Play safe when he has AP items because he starts to hurt. If you are low and he begins a body slam that looks like it will miss you are most likely going to want to flash because he might flash on you. His body slam is charmable. Also has constant sustain in lane because of passive, if your jungler stops his body slam by blocking it you might be able to get his flash or possibly even a kill.”
0
Fox1ne says “Nothing much about this one,It's pretty easy to harass and pretty easy to maintain wave control and sustain war against him. Make sure at 6 level don't get outplayed with the classic panunu combos since today gragas got some ability casting timers, so yea you have time to react to that,it's not like season 3.”

CC Diana says “Thankfully you don't see Gragas mid very much, but when you do, you're in for some hurt. The difficulty of this matchup is largely based on how well the Gragas plays, but it's honestly pretty hard for him to mess it up. His Body Slam beats everything. He can use it to interrupt your ult and throw a fermenting Q in your escape path and even ult you into the fermenting Q and hityou with an empowered auto from Drunken Rage. The best time to engage on Gragas is if you get him low with poke damage or if he wastes his Body Slam on some other target. No Body Slam == free damage for you.”

SmokeyEggs says “This big boi has a lot of sustain and can easily counter your all in's, I have played against a good amount of Gragas Mid players and what i found out is when you cast they normally E back. That's how you bait their E and that's when you fight”

Rosie Posy says “Gragas is fairly annoying when playing Akali since he can poke you down with his Q. His E is a good counter to your E or even your ult. His ult can easily blow you out of your W. You can usually win vs him early game but late game is when you need your team.”
