Just about Graves
I've been playing this game since season 2 and I want to talk about my favorite champion or at least used to be my favorite because I barely play him now. I think what Riot did to Graves is not comparable to any of the reworks done other champions. Skarners, Kat, Soraka,Darius, Ryze(through 3 reworks?) Waricks and others all stayed where they should be played. There are instances of reworked champion that went to a different lane, for example, Nidalee. She went from mid to Jungle, but this was a good change, the old nid was just very cancerous in terms of play style( Hiding in the back, throwing spears but nothing more). In addition to that, nid was intentionally to be reworked that she would be played as a jungler. Graves was different in that he wasn't supposed to be a jungler when Riot annouced the rework (I was at time pretty excited because well my favorite champion just got reworked and I wanted to try him out). It turned out that Graves following the rework was way too op everywhere( He could played as top, mid, jungler, adc), then Riot started to nerf him. These nerfs(it was a intended as balance change, and I understand that) cause him basically viable in Jungle today. Some may argue that Reverted Graves is Lucian 2.0, to that I want to say anyone who main ADC/Marksmen knew the play style of these two champion were actually very different, the Graves(old)'s auto attack is also very different comparing to that of Lucian's, in particular, its sound was so satisfying. And if anything, Lucian should be called Graves 2.0 because he came after Graves.
With all that said, I present couple of solutions to current Graves
(1) Revert Graves completely, well that would definitely change dynamic of the game because that would affect the junglers (like it did to all ADC mains when they realized Graves is no longer viable) (2) A second Graves rework, or a change to its current play style redirecting it to Marksmen. (3) I think this was mentioned in one of the thread I read. The author mentioned changing Graves into something like Viktor where you will be able to choose your "weapon" at the start of the game so that he can be an ADC again.
I hope rioters can really hear what I had to say because the old Graves was really the champion that got me addicted to this game. It's also because of the rework that I don't play as often as I used to be. Graves, arguably the best ADC, definitely deserves better being in the jungle.
