Regarding Graves.

With the last patch, the nerf came in for Duskblade and a lot of champions who were using it for a damage compensation buff (some even got more damage then they had before --- Shaco / Khazix---). Then, we have champions that were left almost untouched.

In particular, Graves got a very tiny AD/lvl buff, which, mind you, doesn't affect the damage of his abilities (bonus AD needed). He almost got a tiny MR/lvl buff as well. Seeing how most games are decided by how well you can snowball, especially in the jungle, since invading is ideal, having those meaningless buffs to Graves' base stats seem like a joke, especially when his core first item for a long time is Duskblade. If anything, he didn't even have a decent winrate lately, and almost has a 0% pick rate in the professional scene.

So, what are we gonna do about Graves? I played some games recently, and sure enough I had carried some of them because I got fed early, but I can see a weak champion when they exist. Sure, the QoL upgrades on his W in 2 separate patches are good, but it's just that; QoL upgrades. It still doesn't do enough. Maybe bringing back the magic resistance on his E, or having it back at 4 stacks instead of 8, is a good way to go.
