In my opinion:
 * renamed
 * The ability is now "thrown" at the target area and it explodes instantly, identical to his current ult. The barrel casts a shadow on the ground while in the air.
 * Cast range reduced to ~450.
 * Gragas bounds forward and dunks the cask into the ground - i.e. it now has a small gap closer, but for the most part it's a point-blank skill like Xin's ult.

Gragas' Barrel Roll is currently too powerful mechanically: absurdly high base damage, high scaling, difficult to dodge and has area of denial utility. I removed the area of denial difficulty and improved the telegraphing on the target area.

Considering that he has such a low cooldown gap closer, high burst and high durability/sustain, Explosive Cast shouldn't be ranged. Body Slam into Explosive Cask just seems like it was meant to be. Charge into them then dunk. Not: walk in range, knock them toward you and then heavily slow them with Body Slam, if they even survived.
