Gragas Top slipped from B to C tier in Patch 26.14. A drop like this usually traces back to direct nerfs, item changes, or a meta shift toward unfavorable matchups, so respect the counter picks more than you did last patch. At C tier, Gragas is a mains-only pick this patch: expect to out-knowledge opponents rather than out-stat them.

Champion select decides a lot of Gragas Top games. The hardest matchups this patch are DrMundo (46.9% win rate for Gragas) and Garen (47.7% win rate for Gragas): consider banning one or holding your pick until the opponent locks in. On the other side, Jayce (54.3%) and Yone (50.9%) are the matchups to look for, where Gragas wins the lane more often than not at Emerald+.
