This is getting ridiculous, i just read riot is planning to nerf Graves stats yet again.

Please, stop beating around the bush, the reason Graves is overbearing in the jungle isn't his tankiness or burst, those are his identity traits. The reason is his un compared clearing, and the main reason is his knock back to monsters, it allows him to stay healthy and power farm and always be ahed, you want to nerf his jungling? Fine, remove it, remove the E stacking on monsters aswell.

But please, stop nerfing his lane roles, jungle Graves wont give a shit about MR removal, you know who will? Botlane Graves who goes against mages and supports with actual Magic damage.

Im sick of having my main getting hit in damage, durability, and burst, just because Jungle Graves has this stupid ass unnecessary passive. (And the broken lethality which brought him back to the spotlight)

Thank you, ADC Graves main since season 3.... #MakeADCgravesgreatagain

Who plays Graves bot?

I barely see him Top or Mid either.

If being tanky and at the same time bursting you to death is his identity then i consider his identity is why he needs to get gutted bad, he doesn't deserve tank stats for free and burst damage at the same time, that just doesn't ever work

Its going to take a month or two of obnoxious Graves games before Riot removes his knock back on Red and Blue. That is the only reason he's so obnoxious. He clears with 100% health.

He will lose some base stats and Riot will hum and haw over him.

Yeah. I wish he was tuned more for botlane anyway. I've been trying to round out my adc pool and Graves is perfect for facing those hard engage lanes that would oneshot my other adc's. The knockback never really made that much sense to me anyway. It's just a random feature to make him look cooler, with little practical use outside of jungling. If he wants to stay healthy, he should be building lifesteal. He's a draintank anyway.

I thought there would be puns =(

Yeah, I miss being able to bot lane a standard crit build Graves right after his rework. It was the only damn thing that could handle Darius because they both got reworked at about the same time during the Juggernaut fiasco

Riot does that to every champ that deserves nerfs anyways.

Nothing new.

His clearing isn't even that good anymore compared to season 6 where it was both faster and healthier. Graves is stupid because he can stack red smite with PD and be impossible to 1v1, not because of his clear.
