Cassiopeia , before you became a machine gun.

Mordekaiser , before you became a "marksman."

Graves , before you became the FOTM monster you are. (I REALLY MISS PLAYING OLD GRAVES RITO PLEASE)

Fiora , before you became the bullshit top laner with less counters than Yorick .

And these reworks have achieved what? A better Sion and Poppy ??

Riot, you ripped away the identities of the champions we loved to play. (With the exception of Fiora - she was always cheesy)

While the boards has a plethora of threads on Morde / Cassiopeia, I feel like Graves is often overlooked. Coming from a Graves main in season 5, his new persona as a champion is much clunkier and not the same champion anymore.

While I know Riot will never undo a change / update they make no matter how bad it is, I think Riot should learn to swallow their pride to some degree to realize that they are straying away from what made these champions fun to the players that mained them before they were updated and made broken with different strengths and playstyles than what we learned to know and love.

I might be the only player that misses old Graves, I was that one Graves player in season 4 that people told to pick another champion because he wasn't meta.

I played him for the smooth animation on his mafia skin, for his satisfying burst while not feeling 100% useless after using two shells.

So I dedicate this thread to old Graves. May you rest in piece, and may you come and bring back the fun memories some day.

Sincerely, The guy with the Draven main name. (Ironic isn't it)

Yes, riot has a problem when it comes to direction. Some people like the new directions and some people miss assassin poppy.

Fiora was always a bullshit top laner.

Graves was usually a FOTM ADC, if you ever played him in all botlane dominion you would completely destroy 1v5 when you got to a full build. People literally climbed to diamond that weren't good just by picking Graves. Rekt the lategame scary version of kogmaw and the rest of the team just by managing his combos.

It would be easy too, like making a gold player rekt a team of probably plats just like qtpie rekting a dotot. But w/o the skill or the killing spree by the grag.

Morde... but undead dragon means I can't be mad.
