Elaborate yo.
Last I saw, PawN does pretty well at laning too. Has Rookie improved that much since moving to CN?

rookie's play is kind of based upon his laning strength while pawn is more about roaming and decisionmaking.

there's not that much of a difference though, but if anyone has improved in form it is pawn who was looking pretty shaky in lane early on.

rookie's soloqueue performance, which is largely laning based, is far better than pawn's.

his "rework" was a nerf any way you slice it, basically the same hero and he became a first pick priority for top lane once players figured it out.

It's interesting, because Gragas went from mid lane -> top lane -> jungle.

And then he got nerfed and didn't see any play for almost a year until he got buffed and new things were added into the game that aided his playstyle.

Except veigar has good ratios and is burst mage and not a poke one, Dcap will give considerably more damage at every point in the game to his combo.

I've been using Luden's on Orianna but I wonder if Deathcap wouldn't still be better, especially since it works on her shield's ratio.

He might need some small nerfs but he is no where near as dominate as lee sin was for over a year. They could probably lower his base stats and make his e cooldown a few seconds longer but unlike lee Sin if gragas misplays early he dies where as lee sin still kills you or gets away or both

Sure, after a mana item, then after Dcap, then after void because that will probably increase your damage more at that point, then after zhonyas because you are veigar and have no mobility and need zhonyas.

every time Gragas has made a comeback he's been the best at what he does, IDK I just find it interesting.

Well the buffed Gragas twice right before releasing cinderhulk. The problem with the Gragas rework is that it was Riot just reworking the champion because they didn't like how players were playing him. They thought they created an AP Brawler, but created a mage, and they didn't like it. So they made up some nonsense about how people were ulting people into prepped barrels and that that was good, but 100>0 with Q>R was bad (it was, but that was because of his ult have a slightly too high AP ratio).

The old Gragas was a good champion that was OP, the new one has that stupid barrel charge mechanic that is basically supposed to be the core mechanic of the kit, but that's a mechanic that needs to be OP to be useful.

The problem with Gragas, currently, is that he double dips on DR with Skirmisher's and his own.

Double dip in damage reduction you mean?

Mid lane Gragas was the most annoying BS ever. Bar none. "I have infinite sustain, damage reduction, and an ability that gives me mother fucking mana regen. There's nothing you can do to trade with me efficiently. I also have good wave, great disengage, great engage, great mobility, and I can 100-0 squishies. And oh yeah, don't even think about fighting me after level 2, I get free AD. I want you to all in me level 2." Remember when his dash had a 5 second cd and his barrels had 1000 range so he could just snipe people and chunk them hard from the FOW? God I hated that champ so much.

Now he's fine. He's perfectly balanced. Is he a strong jungler? Sure, but he's not some Übermensch Adonis with no weaknesses. He does his job efficiently, but he's not OP.

Riot need to buff Lee Sin...

The biggest bullshit with midlane Gragas was I'm going to press Q+R and oneshot you.

Which was a fixable tuning issue...

Whereas new Gragas has to charge barrels, which makes no sense as a mechanic. Its like if Morgana didn't have Q to go with tormented soil, that move would be quite stupid. Now the cinderhulk thing is a problem because they gave him base damages to discourage building AP.

^That's what keeps him from being a solo laner is the barrel mechanic. You're supposed to use it for the slow, not the damage. Charging the barrel is good for his waveclear and jungle clear so it all balances out.
