Hello, today riot released some new information about the marksman rework, and since i mostly play adc, i welcomed the mindset and and changes riot did to most of the marksmen so far..

All except graves... Now if i said i mostly play adc, then Graves would have to be my "main", first champ ive ever bought, got all skins for him, his my 'go-to' champ i know him well enough.

So far, unlike other marksmen, graves doesnt just gets a few tweaks and small fetured/gimmicks (looking at you corki) - Graves is getting a rework in every sense to the point where even his basic attacks are overhauled and made the weirdest in the game.

Now, im all for diversity, and taking risks, but let me give you my thought on his rework.

First, the whole range reduction - 425 will put him in urgot's range , and we all know how good of an "adc" he is (he was shifted towards toplaner) and that already put him im a strict dissadvantage against any other adc right now, thats 75! Less range than 500 which is already low enough.

Next - the whole "reload" mechanic. Yea i get it, you want him to feel like a shotgun weilding badass, but some things dont work in moba's like they do in real life... Ashe doesnt run out of arrows after 50 shots and has to go back to base. Currently, after only 2 basic attacks, you cant basic attack until you "reload" which takes few seconds.. So here's a problem - how do you farm early game? Where timing your autos can already be hard enough... Now you only have 2 shots before you pause ontop of that. This thing sounds silly, and changes the most basic feture of LoL -autoattack- dramaticlly.

Third problem, and probably the worst. Your basic attacks can be blocked, that means even a lucian can just poke you behind minions, and you cant do anything... From all the stupid changes that have been done to graves, this is the worse offender... Why? Why evey other single champion in the game can AA over minions and tanks, but graves has to go all around or through minions just to get 2 shots and go back and hide. And also like before.. This can fuck up farming real bad.

Those are my main issues with his overhaul, im still waiting for actual gameplay, but take it as a "warning"if you will from a long time Graves player who really got attached to him. Please dont fuck him up... These are drastic changes to even his core - basic attack- dont turn him into another morde/cass/karma rework...

The new shotgun mechanic combined with his awesome quotes make Graves the most fun champion I've ever played.
