Well, I have never found Gragas to be really broken after the changes. He is just strong, but I don't think this is a reason to nerf him. His AP builds now don't even do much damage and he needs to build tanky in order to be useful (save for items like Rod of Ages or Liandry's Torment).

He is just like Kha'Zix and Rengar, two champions who were overnerfed and are still strong picks. I think Riot shouldn't nerf them after all, but instead, try to change the champions around them: buff other champions so that they can become strong picks too, and be popular just like current strong meta picks.

What we can't have however is the force to be reckoned with, that Gragas was before the changes. This is a situation where there was no other real solution other than changes (I don't call a nerf because a nerf would make Gragas weaker with the same old kit, but instead Gragas received a different kit that can't be used for the same purpose as the previous one).
