(2020) Gragas got a large nerf this patch that wasn't documented

Original Post

Before patch 10.5 Gragas' Q would start its cooldown when it was thrown out which meant that you could let that q fully charge and then immediately throw out another q. Now Gragas' Q starts it cooldown when you explode the Q which is a large nerf to Gragas' wave clear, all ins, and was not documented in the patch.

Definitely a bug. We'll be looking to get a fix out soon.

Any ideas what might have caused it?

We did some under-the-hood modernization to the scripts of spells like Gragas Q (abilities with multi-cast or re-castable properties) - this is definitely an unintended result of that.
