Well, so Gragas become one of my most favourite champs, so lets talk about it for a while.
1) Skills at lvl 2 and 3 should be added, you can explain that in your Skills chapter.
2) RoA >>> Rylais for Gragas. Just count with me now, can we?
- Full stacked RoA gives: 80 AP, 630 HP, 725 mana, price = 3035
- Rylais gives 80AP, 500 HP, slow, price = 3105
Now the big BUTs!
- You already have slow in your
- Read Rylais passive once more. Note the part in brackets. The slow is only 15% for multi-target spells (and DoTs, etc, not important). Now think about your spells.
- RoA is cheaper, gives you more HP, same amount of AP and mana
3) Dunno, if Zhonyas are so good at Gragas, you need to move in combat, not just turn to gold and do nothing.
4) Generaly - nice formated, some pictures. Good from this side. Deffinitely better than wall-of-text guides.
5) So the result is... + rep for you, for you effort. I will keep my vote so far, until at least you give me some meaningfull answer to this comment or/and more questions I can have.
GJ, have a nice day.
Thanks for such an extensive comment. Here's my reply:
I agree RoA works just as well, if not better on Gragas. He gets mana from it, and indeed, his spells are all AoE, meaning it only slows for 15%. I just feel like an extra slow - other than the one with which he has to put his gut on someone's face - works for him. If you feel like a RoA is better, you're free to think so. I've come to the conclusion that Gragas doesn't really have that horrible mana problems when wearing the Ancient Golem buff, which he'll most always do. RoA doesn't seem like a necessity.
Zhonya's is not only there for the active: the 50 Armor helps you survive a bit longer against mages. The active is merely a last-resort kinda deal. It's useful at times when you need to wait on cooldowns, but you're getting focused.
And I did explain the skill thing of Lv.2 and Lv.3, I did so in the section where I discussed Body Slam.
Once again, thanks for commenting and thanks for the +Rep!

Im sorry but i cant upvote this guide with rylies in it. This item is horible on grag as he already has enough cc as it is. You should replace. This. With. A roa. Alsp you do not have skills for levels 2 and 3. Good luck and keep up the good work!
Reason for not having Lv.2 and Lv.3 filled in, is because it is dependant of the jungler. A fast-ganking jungler means it is necessary to take Body Slam at Lv.2, otherwise I take Drunken Rage at Lv.2 for the mana. And Rylai's is amazing, I love the slow, but I can see why a RoA would work too. It's debatable. Thanks for the feedback!
