Why are you so afraid of buffing Graves ?
Since I've been playing this game, I've never seen a champion managed as badly as Riot did with Graves. He used to be an early game champ but now he is a champ who is designed to be strong early but has scalings,Riot,scalings don't help an early champ too much.So I think I can give you some buffs that would make Graves much better throughout the game in general and would maybe make him be picked in pro play again: 1.Increase his base movement speed back to 345 (to be the same as lee sin,another early game champ) 2.Give his mr back on his E (it won't make him like 7.0-7.9 state because he has been very indirectly nerfed by the removal of hp per level runes and the mr runes and armor and mr without health is almost a waste and will give graves a maximum 1 more sec of survivability,maybe 2 at 8 stacks) 3.Increase his first q base damage with 5 and his second q with 15 4.Increase his base attack speed to 0,52 5.Increase his base health to 560 and his health growth with 1.5/level and his mr growth with 0,5/level 6.Add back his AA+R+E (this change just took out his skill expression,didn't tackle his problems) And bam,now you have a champ who has been fighting for the worst jungler spot for almost 15 patches into an actual fun and balanced champ. Hope you are gonna consider at least some of this changes Riot,i beg you,save my main :)))
