his spells have are very high damage, landing even one barrel can take a huge chunk out of an enemy champion. Gragas also does have decent lane sustain through his passive. Essentially Gragas can throw a barrel and punish you right back if you try to go at him while hes farming, and the barrel is strong enough that he can use it to grab any cs that is too far into enemy territory.

If anyone can zone Gragas out of CS early though, he is in serious trouble. later he can rely on his barrel to grab most CS, but in the early levels he is very reliant on his Autos to CS and the threat of his barrels to keep you away
