Why isn't Graves getting the Poppy treatment?
Seriously his reworked kit is pure BS. I'm surprised he is even allowed to be viable in his state for as long as he has. He is anti melee and anti ADC. The only thing he loses to is long range mages who have decent CC which haven't been viable for almost 3 seasons. The one counterplay to him is to have minions or someone capable of body blocking but conqueror basically removes the latter and minions aren't an issue when you are ganking normally.
His AAs are about the most broken thing in the game. Basically he's a melee champion that gets slightly extra range and does bonus damage if you stand right next to him. His reload system really isn't a hindrance in its current state. And even if it was he can force a reload with E. It scales with AS and the reloads are really fast anyways. His Q is basically if you are in the jungle or near tower 3x damage on that ability. His W just cuts off vision and the only 2 things in the game that do that are Quinn's Q which got nerfed because it was too strong and Nocturne's ult which is an ultimate and the original source of the debuff.
Honestly he needs 3 things done to his kit.
- His W needs to have a timer once it hits the ground until when the slow and debuff his even if its only like .5s
- His Q instant detonation on contact with a wall needs to be removed. It literally makes over 50% of the map off limits.
- His AAs need to do reduced damage early in the game and he needs to behave like everyone else with
. A full burst AA should not proc 4 stacks on non crit.
