Can't tell if you're referring to Graves or Jinx.

Graves is retarded, but not hyper

So Jinx, then. Imo she needs a lot more time than Graves to be able to kill a target at level 6 with her ult; not saying she didn't need nerfs, though.

Patch notes: "Jinx has developed a more hyper carry-esque playstyle. And we're okay with that. Unfortunately, her laning phase is a bit too dominant. So we toned down her Q a little bit, to make it a little harder to hit level 2 first. We also wanted to emphasize her ult as being an execute, not raw damage. So we gutted it. You happy Boards?"

Also, if you check it now, it says Jinx has "Buckshot (Q)." Moobeat plz.

I have no problems with Jinx, But boards won't be happy. By the way, they're still fixing the update, Her nerfs are on her Ult only. The Ult as raw damage is probably an LCS thing, considering her ult has a fairly short cooldown.

Board's problem is her being a hyper carry. The LCS makes use of Corki, Sivir, Lucian, Graves, And some how the hyper carries get flamed. Apparently no one in YoloQ remembers that a hypercarry is someone to be shut down before the end up becoming a late game monster.

Of course Boards won't be happy, they're never happy. But I hear you. If they do nerf her ult damage that hard, it's because Riot wants her to be reliable elsewhere. But not just throw her ult without thought/purpose.

Well,it's just a nerf to her's ult minimum damage & her ult gains power as it travels distance.Meaning that this is a slap in the face to those who use her ult right in the enemy face rather shooting a target from far away.

That nerf is way too big if it's actually coming through that way.

At least it looks like it's only the minimum damage, meaning long ranged ultimates should still do the same. Which is okay actually I guess, as I've always thought it's kind of silly to shoot your ultimate point blank just because it does percent missing health damage... If they're flat out nerfing the base damage at all ranges though, that's uncalled for. Keep a champion's identity when you nerf them... my favourite part about Jinx was the cross map snipes!

Meanwhile the Graves... buff? Lower the base damage at higher ranks (slightly) but increase the damage from additional bullets? He's already very bursty and one of the strongest early ADCs; he's made a lot of presence in the competitive scene. I thought Graves was due for a nerf, not a buff...

Seems like the ADC changes are to emphasize their playstyle; Jinx is more of a long range ADC, where Graves is more about getting up close and bursting down a target, so Jinx lost a lot of damage on a point blank rocket (I wouldn't be surprised if this was an intentional overshoot and they scale it up if necessary), where Graves loses damage unless he's really in the face of his opponent, which, in the current meta, is kind of risky with the massive tanks. I don't yet know how the numbers really work out, but it does seem like a buff to his early laning and all-ins, which seems kind of scary.
