Well I mean, clip was funny, but thats just Graves being graves. When your team is is like 26/6 and they walk at you one at a time, they are gonna have a bad time. Also Kog waddled around like a penguin and got in pointblank range of Graves, where he thrives, and did nothing to help Hecapony. Graves is strong, but that clip was the enemy being bad.
He had a 3-4 level advantage on everyone in that fight, they walked in one at a time, and Kog just stood there like an idiot while Graves whomped on Hecarim.
While hilarious, I don't think that clip was particularly indicative of Graves' non-fed power level.
so..... that happened
Level and item difference, nothing to see here, move along.
He didn't even have his ult for that whole fight since he missed it earlier. He killed that
and
as fast as he killed the
. He had blue buff sure but he still had full mana at the end of that fight, and was getting most of his mana sustain from
.
So Essense Reaver is finally useful, hurray, and your point is?
Not Quite sure what his late game build would look like. The New ER looks as if it will be the Go to item for Burst casters. considering it offers a bunch of CDR (scaling with crit chance.) But seeing as Graves really didn't need the AS (which only maginally helps his reload speed. Also has AS on his E.)
On top of ER, I would imagine the best items being either an IE or a tri force. but it didn't look like he was building towards either of those.
Graves now has a new niche, an he's strong in that niche.
PBE has no matchmaking. I'm serious, it just grabs the 10 people in queue and randomly lumps them in game. He's doing nothing any plat + player doesn't do in half the games they play.
