Too bad he isn't a poke champ, he has damage reduction, an AoE attack speed slow, an AoE movement speed slow that's tied to a high damage dash, an AoE displacement effect with huge damage and health regeneration. He's an all-in champion who also does exceptionally well at just sitting back and poking with Q and R.

Grag doesn't care if his enemy is ranged, melee, utility mage, assassin, bruiser, poke oriented, sustain oriented, mobility oriented or burst oriented, he does fine against all of them and transitions well into late-game. I don't think a champion is balanced when they're pretty much the best pick 9 times out of 10 regardless of who the enemy is, especially when their kit has as many niche strengths as Gragas's does.
