I am a Platinum support, so you don't have to trust everything in this guide. I have had fun playing the pre-rework Gragas as support, and in my opinion the new Gragas is a stronger support then pre-rework. This is my first guide and I would like some constructive feedback.

Sincerely dutchfudge

Pros:
* Strong AOE slow
* Knockback and stun
* Hard peel for the carries
* Sustain through passive
* Gapcloser

Cons:
* To use the CC on your E you have to all in.
* Weak against lanebullies
* Q hard to hit
* Fat

Gragas' passive gives him awesome sustain. You can regenerate more then Mundo's passive and as much as Garen's passive if used as soon as it comes of cooldown.

His Q gives him an AOE slow. This slow is as hard as Karma's mantra Q, but on a much shorter cooldown. The only thing I dislike about this ability is that it is almost impossible to charge it for maximum damage.

His W gives him a little damage boost and a bit of damage reduction. This is mostly used to proc his passive.

Gragas' E is his all in Knockback followed up by a 1 second stun. You can win like every trade in botlane with this ability if you can land it on the support and AD carry at the same time. It is also a nice interrupt.

The R is just awesome. It is an AOE knockback with a not too short range. It gives the ultimate peel for your carries.

Gragas can start with a lot of items. A gold item with two potions and a ward, ruby crystal with a potion and a ward, Dorans Shield, whatever you like. Gragas works best when build tanky support. Items like Randuins Omen are really strong on him.
