shouldnt graves have to do something before one shotting you?

Every game graves is 1 shotting people. Regardless if he has 1 kill 20 cs or 15 kills. At the moment there is a graves build that 4 shots towers. Graves literally dominates every game he is in. Last game the 1 kill graves 1 shot the 5 kill riven.

And you know what the saddest fucking thing is? Your balance team is so piss poor bad, that they buffed this champion.

You buffed graves. Thats how shit you balance team is. Thats how atrociously bad your balance team is. This champion needs a god damn hotfix right now.

Not a buff.

Do something about this trash balance team.

I wouldn't go that far to say that he dominates every game and 1 shot even when going 1/12 or something along those lines.

But Graves does have this problem where he could choose and instantly gib out almost any 1 target of his choice no problem, creating big pressure within a teamfight immediately with as much effort as 1 press of a button, and not even at least putting himself in significant danger such as being in melee range of the enemy team or something.

A bit like your Syndra's "press R" really.

That imo already is enough to call for a second look.

I'm just glad that no one seems to realise how insane he is, so his play rate is relatively low.

Here is our real ranged-melee-tanky-DPS-assassin-mage-tank-support jungler.

Ranged, but does more damage in melee. Is insanely tanky and does tons of DPS. Has assassin-level burst. Okay, not really a mage. A drain-tank. Some supportive ability with his smokescreen.

He feels really unfair to play against. He's a marksman, so you should be able to close the gap on him and murder him, but he does more damage up close so you can't do that. He's insanely good at duels, and since he's ranged and mobile, you can't really run away from him like you can with other duelists.

I feel like I nearly always lose games against this guy, and the ones I win are at the end of a really hard uphill struggle.

But his ganks are irelevant

Your jungler should get you lead before graves gets spike

Well you see, he used to light a cigar between his combo, giving the opponent a precious second to fight back.

Then Riot removed his cigar.

I don't know why I'm physically incapable of doing what everyone else does with Graves. No matter how close I am or what I build I do no damage whenever I play him :P

people bitch about playing against graves for no actual reason. He just hits his power spike way harder than anybody. And peopke are stupid to 1v1 a graves with no out play.

They gave him that clunky fucking reload and 2 bullets mechanic so he has to be broken on everything else, otherwise nobody would play him. But thank god, I din't see him much, either banned or people choose some other op jungler. I very much like the old graves, pretty much the only adc I liked, but now with that clunky reload I just can't stand him anymore.

Well he did smoke a cigar before oneshotting you so what is the problem again?

It honestly feels like we're back at the start of Marksmen Season, when Graves jungle was the dominant jungler.

I think though Kindred were designed as a "marksman in the jungle", it's Graves who's really the standard against which all other marksmen in the jungle should be compared, not Kindred.
