The thing about Gragas is that he was meant to be a tank, and he was played that way, but he was apparently too powerful as such, and when they removed Innervating Locket, everyone stopped playing him.

Then Riot changed a few things (AS debuff went from R to Q, they added an AP ratio to his Body Slam) and the former trollbuild AP Gragas became stronger, even though it wasn't very popular until Shushei and Reginald brought it on the competitive scene.
