So I've been sitting and waiting to see what is done with Graves
I guess nothing is being done so I figured I'd say something. Riot... You missed your mark again. You have made a monster. Now I've watched Graves played almost 9 out of 10 games so I played him to see why. First problem i see right off the bat is that his kit allows him to do well on the jungle. Very well. Actually the best jungling kit in the game. 2nd problem I see. Graves is actually a really good tank while dealing tons of damage. With health items like stearks or black cleaver Graves is almost unstoppable. Graves can effectively be played in any lane while being a bully and having great late game scaling. I watched a Graves 1v5 and walk away with a penta.
Now when Graves is played as an adc everything is balenced and normal. The problem is that because of the way the meta is he is the best top laner in the game and usually steamroles because 9 out of 10 times he is up against a melee champion. There is no counter to top lane Graves. This is where the problem is.
