You have to respect Darius a lot, since he also runs ghost a lot he could run you down, flashing your ultimate trying to knock him away. playable but very safe, ask for jungler.
Mordekaiser
I don't know exactly why but this lane just feels absolutely impossible to me, he deals more damage while close, has no mana and his shield screws you over. Aswell as if you ult, and he ults after your ult wont push him away.
would be my ban but nobody plays him
Fiora
To be honest haven't played against Fiora ever since it's my forever ban, hate this champ.
Urgot
Very Hard, he will E you during your E which after this exchange he will win, he has more range and can outdamage you if you stay in his range for too long. CARE FOR HIS LEVEL 1, its stupid damage. He also rushes hullbreaker which is hard for you to deal with.
Jax
This is just such an easy lane, make sure you don't E before he Q's a lot of the time untill you are confident in your strength. Everytime he jumps on you, you can interrupt the damage and hit him with a combo, then running away with phase rush, its just really simple.
Aatrox
Hard lane for sure as his Q has like 0 sec cooldown, and he heals a lot. However it is winnable but very dependent on skill of the Aatrox and your skill on Gragas. Don't try to fight him in his R unless you can oneshot him.
Akshan
Play safe, ask for jungle help or bait him under your turret. Disgusting champ that runs ignite a lot of the time so watch out for this one.
Camille
His Q really does a lot of damage to you since you will have a lot of HP, which makes him deal more dmg. Winnable early levels but if he get's sunderer its really hard.
E into E makes it so you both get stunned, be aware.
Cho'Gath
It's a fine matchup you can win easily, he doesn't have a lot of threats to you. If you fall behind tho it can get really hard.
Dr. Mundo
Seems hard as you only have 1 sort of cc until 6 and his passive blocks is but is actually possible if you learn how to play it. Max Q for sure and poke him out, when you E on him make sure you walk over his bottle and use the window to E on him a couple seconds later before his passive comes back up.
Gangplank
Scary because of poke but very much a skill-based match up. He is surprisingly squishy so don't be too afraid. Start W on this one and dont get pissed when he Q's you, just heal it back up and he loses mana quick.
Garen
Watch out for his flash+ignite+ult that can surprise you but for the rest nothing scary. Use phase rush to get out of his E.
Gwen
With her nerfed range you can quite easily match this untill the late game where she deals a lot of damage, dont get cheesed lvl 1 by lethal tempo and you should be fine.
Irelia
Surprisingly easy lane, start E and don't get too agressive, Irelia players are very greedy and not patient so just wait for their mistakes and punish her when her Q is on cooldown.
Jayce
Very annoying for sure pre level 6 but once you get a few items start poking him down and E while he tries to go in. It is frustrating since he has range advantage but playable.
Illaoi
The champ is made to be annoying, if she knows what she is doing you will want to die because of her E, otherwise you will be fine. Don't get hit by E and you win.
Use your Q when hit by E on your ghost so she might get scared to walk up.
Kayle
Easy lane that you win, dont be scared against her when se E's you early, you out damage her easily. Outscales eventually.
Kennen
You outdamage him almost every part of the game if you hit your E. Be aware of his damage with his ult, otherwise you will be fine.
Kled
Kled is scary if he knows what he is doing, otherwise not too hard. He can dive you easily with his stupid lizzard and deals a crap ton of damage. Dont get hit by his Q and you will be even.
Malphite
My favorite matchup, he wants to go armor but you deny it, your Q wins against his Q since you heal from it. When you E him he cant follow you, just very pog.
Maokai
Have only versed him once and it was too easy, dont be scared.
Nasus
Punish him pre-6 as he outscales you after that point with his slows being really really annoying. Might conside buying swiftees.
Ornn
You can cancel his Dash and his R so you can deny a lot of what he wants to do in lane and in teamfights. He does eventually outscale you so be aware that you might not be able to kill him the later the game goes.
ALSO BRITTLE DOES A LOT OF DAMAGE.
start W
Pantheon
Try to E his stun and you win, you outheal is damage with his mana so as long as you respect him you will win or go even, you outscale him.
Poppy
Actually quite annoying if he goes sunderer, interrupts your E and has surprising damage. Not the hardest matchup at all but don't be cocky.
Quinn
Annoying because she is ranged, ask your jungler for a gank and if heaven is gracefull and she gets behind it is gg and you can kill her over and over again.
she will run ignite so be aware of a lvl1 or lvl 2 all in.
Renekton
Easy if you make E, just E him when he goes in and heal his damage, be aware if he has a jungler camping him it might be difficult.
Rumble
Actually kinda hard because of his shield, and flamethrower damage while he is cc'd. You don't encounter Rumble's a lot but if you dont get poked out too much by his harpoons and flamethrower, hit him with combo's and you should win.
Riven
Max E and interrupt when she wants to jump in, you kind of outdamage her if you dont play too agressive and he gets impatient. It's all about not wanting to kill them TOO bad when you are winning cuz that can be your downfall.
Gnar
Annoying when ranged but also possible as he is surprisingly squishy while in mini form, poke him with Q's and E+W+Q combo's untill he comes in kill range.\
Dont fight in mega gnar, he is tanky, deals a lot of damage and will ult you as it has a low cooldown.
Sett
Scary when ahead for sure but winnable, if you get stunned mid-E you are dead so be carefull with that. poke him out with Q's and farm safe untill he makes a mistake, play reactive.
Shen
You can interrupt his E with your bodyslam making him pretty much useless, he also block auto attacks while your damage doesnt come from that most of the time.
You have plenty of cc to stop his R.
Tip: when he has his E(dodging attacks), hit a minion with your W activated to get the damage on the shen anyways.
Singed
With phase rush you can deny him a lot. He wants long fights while you can combo him and run out. He has nothing in return for your poke and you out damage him if you do small bursts.
He CAN flip you if you bodyslam at him so watch out, he has to time it perfectly tho so try to hit him unexpected.
Sion
you can interrupt his Q and poke him down, he doesn't win lane but keeps splitting with hullbreaker and will be a pain so watch out for him in late game.
Teemo
Annoying cuz ranged again but unlike others he focusses auto attackers, while you dont care about that.
Although you wont get phase rush as easily since he can blind your W.
This is the 1 matchup where I would consider going comet.
Tryndamere
Bodyslam him when he E's at you and drop a quick combo. Poke him down with Q's and kite around him with your phase rush during his ult. If you get behind you are kinda screwed cuz he wil dive you over and over again with his rediculous crit.
Got nerfed tho so might not bet a problem anymore, haven't faced him since.
Wukong
Again easy, interrupt his jump with your bodyslam and do a quick combo, then run away with phase rush. He also stacks armor which you dont care about so its very nice.
Yorick
Rushes hullbreaker which sucks cuz you cant deal with the cannon. You can't kill his small wraiths with your spells for some reason, and his ult is hard to kill. Get stuk in his trap and you die. Try to poke him down before oneshotting him.
Yasuo
Max E and play safe untill he gets inpatient, overagressive and does something stupid where you will punish him. Windwall is annoying but you can win playing around W and E.
Just some tips on combo's:
-Make sure you always have W up when going in, it is crucial.
- you can E-flash to hit him unexpectedly, but also consider flash-E when having to go ever minions, know this ranged precisely or you will mess up, hit the minions and die since you used your spells on minions and are left vulnerable.
- generally it's E-Q-Wauto and running away
- doing all the fancy stuff with ults into your Q's are nice to be able to do but very unreliable, so stick to the safe combo's for 90% of the fights.
W
Once again W is the key to your laning phase as it activates your passive for only 30 mana, which is stupidly broken tbh. Also giving you range, damage and damagreduction, and splash damage. Spam it when your passive is off cooldown and not at the risk of a all-in to make sure you are healthy and ready to go.
Have fun
Playing Gragas is a joy for me personally, but having fun is the key to playing well on him aswell, so only try to master him if you actually enjoy his playstyle. Otherwise play him tank or find something else :)
