Gragas holds a 47.5% win rate in the Jungle role on Patch 26.21, 3.6 points below the Jungle role average of 51.0%. That is the 57th highest win rate of 58 Jungle champions tracked at Emerald+ this patch.

Gragas Jungle slipped from B to D tier in Patch 26.21. 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 D 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 Jungle games. The hardest matchups this patch are MonkeyKing (45.0% win rate for Gragas) and LeeSin (51.8% win rate for Gragas): consider banning one or holding your pick until the opponent locks in. On the other side, Sylas (57.4%) and Qiyana (54.5%) are the matchups to look for, where Gragas wins the lane more often than not at Emerald+.
