Wanting to Discuss Graves

So with Riot looking to nerf Graves, now is a good time to have a chat about Graves.

Riot is wanting to nerf Graves's Magic Resist that he gets from his E. This would make him weaker against Magic comps.

Now before I go any further I would like to say I play Graves a lot, he is one of my most played champs. However, that doesn't make anything I have to say right or wrong just an opinion of someone who enjoys playing Graves. I would love to hear what your guys' opinions on Graves is as well and have an honest discussion.

Continuing now, I don't think that this is necessarily the best way to balance him. Graves is the ADC associated with being tanker than the others. Why nerf that? Something does have to give though.

Graves is primarily played in the jungle and is liked for how strong of a farming jungler he is while staying at high health. The MR nerf would hurt him later in the game but his winrate already falls off as games go on. It also won't affect his ability to jungle but would hurt both top and bot lane Graves. Two roles where he already has little play.

A better nerf would probably be to remove the knockback on his shotgun or reduce it. This wouldn't really affect lane Graves but would hurt the clearing ability of jg Graves and tone that back somewhat.

I would hate to see Graves lose his tankiness as that is the part of Graves I enjoy more than his burst or jungling abilities, but something Riot seems to think isn't as important to Graves as his other elements.
