Gragas Mid is not Dead.

In the popular computer game League of Legends, a character named Gragas has gone through an identity crisis over the years. In his current state in season 7, he is mainly picked in the Jungle or in the Top Lane. However, back in season 3 his was picked in the Mid lane because of an easily abused combo utilizing his barrel roll and explosive cast. As an example, a player called Kerp scored a double kill against CLG in the Battle of the Atlantic. This was decided to be unhealthy game play and was subsequently nerfed pushing him out of the mid lane. Despite the nerfs two notable vanguards Panunu and Woody Fruity have brought back Gragas to mid lane. Although spouting different combos and itemization Gragas still dishes out high damage and is incredibly fun to play. The changes to Gragas made it so his barrel role is weak unless it is allowed to sit and ferment where it deals significantly more damage. Because of this, players like Panunu and Woody Fruity developed new combos using Gragas’s other abilities to throw enemies in his charged up barrel role. Although harder to pull off then the original combo shown off by Kerp, players do not expect it since the chances of them playing against this new play style is minimal. After watching these Gragas masters, I became fascinated with the concept and attempted to learn the play style for myself. I had so much fun the first YouTube video I made was a Gragas Montage.
