Lane Opponent Analysis

10-0-8 Quinn and Bard vs Kalista and Blitzcrank

This lane wasn't too bad. You can just use Blinding Assault on Kalista and then she can't stack spears. And you can dash to her with Vault when Valor is on the field. I need to verify this, but I'm not even sure she can autokite (hop) when she is blinded, so Quinn may be a flat out hard counter to Kalista as you can even use [[Tag... Read More

Having accumulated several more Ranked games on Gragas I've noticed that if you don't have your entry angle just right on the Red Brambleback and Blue Sentimental camps with Body Slam you are liable to clip a Cinderling or Sentry and only get the damage off on the critter that you hit, leaving the other two creatures in the camp undamaged.

For comparison, Graves has a similar play rate to Jinx... Read More

I prefer to start Red Buff as that thing hurts without armor, so the leash helps you mow through it quicker and Smiting it returns quite a bit of health.

Level Q, Barrel Roll, and lob a barrel into the the area where the Red Brambleback will spawn at 1:51. This will give it time to ferment and explode for maximum damage at 1:55. Tell your laners to back off after two autoattacks so they can make it to lane in time for the minion waves to meet in the middle of their lane (if they don't take off on their own).

If you watched any of the NA LCS weekend you saw a lot of Gragas in the jungle. I heard someone describe Gragas as the Lee Sin of the Cinderhulk Meta and that is a fairly apt description.

Abilities

Happy Hour provides him with a high amount of sustain.

Barrel Roll does good damage and applies a significant slow especially if you have time to let it ferment, which allows for some interesting play opportunities.

Body Slam provides excellent mobility as well as a stun.

Drunken Rage provides % health damage, which is good against health stackers and the... Read More
