Introduction
Update:
With the rework of Gragas on patch 4.5, AD Offtank

This build has been fully tried and tested for normal games at least.
However, I don't play Ranked games so I don't know if it works as well as normal games. If you tried it on Ranked games, let me know what you think !
If you have success with this build, you can also send me screenshots so that I can include them in the guide.
I'd be delighted if you can give me a feedback (either positive or constructive negative feedbacks) on the presentation of this guide or the build itself !
