^This. Basically, laning against Gragas boils down to a mind game over his q: often bad Gragas players will have a clear tell as to when they will throw the barrel, others will know how to effectively manipulate the opponent's movements and lead the target to consistently land the barrel. Still, if you see a whiffed barrel you should probably be aggressive as it is Gragas' only real source of damage early game and it is on a moderately long cd at early lvls.
