Evelynn "It's been a while so I haven't really noticed until now."

Graves "Yeah, apparently because SOME countries can't advertise tobacco they had to take away my cigar to stay relevant for everyone..."

TwistedFate "Wait so my gambling, hustling and overall shady demeanor is acceptable but YOU don"t get a fucking cigar...haha that's rich, Malcolm."

Graves !! "Piss off Fate, that doesn't change the fact that I can-"

Teemo "So I get to be called the spawn of he who must not be named, have a global taunt and troll people with mushrooms and you can't have a cigar?"

Graves "Where the hell-"

Irelia "GRAVES!! You Bastard! You can't have a fucking cigar so Rito decides to nerf me again!!!"

Graves "HOLD UP! You can't go blaming me for-"

Irelia "Graves can't have a fucking cigar, better nerf Irelia. Fuck that Rito geometry."

Gragas "I'm surprised it was you and not me. I have an ability called Druken rage. My passive lets me tank down BARRELS of booze. In my Hillbilly skin I'm cooking up moonshine and my Esq. skin lets me have a fucking cigar but you can't get one.

Graves sigh "I feel so empty now but Rito still isn't going to give me a fucking cigar...I need a fucking cigar."

Gangplank "YAAAARRRGGGHHH! You could just have some oranges and be 'k'...It still won't give you a fucking cigar though..."

Reminder: Graves still had his cigar in the Cinematics Trailer with more than 20 million views.

Didn't realize this until now, but this is seriously some bullshit censorship catering to sensitive people that are offended by everything.

Close, but no cigar.

As a heavy Christian, I do not believe in the afterlife. Therefore, I request that Karthus, Sion, and Aatrox be entirely removed from the game.

Might as well remove mages and any sort of magic since extreme Christians think it's horrible.

I think they should be able to give graves a cigar and just ignore the "laws" of some of these other countries. We allow all these girls to be advertised with almost no clothes on but graves can't have cigar...? Honestly a cigar would go nice with graves.

For those people that are like, "move on" and such, this is such a fun topic to talk about so don't take it so seriously. The whole deal with this is just so stupid that we need to laugh and make jokes about it. We all know Graves' in game doesn't actually have a cigar but for Riot to just remove it from a splash art sounds so silly. However we can all agree that Graves' whole character design matches with a cigar and seeing him w/o one just feels kinda empty.

What I don't understand is how a cigar threatens a Teen rating when a Teen rating has always contained "Substances" as a reason for the Teen rating. Maybe it's League's volume and outreach that made them had to change it in the game.

I'm pretty sure movies/cinematics have liberties as well due to artistic licensing; video games still aren't an art form to many in legislation.

is this just all we have to bitch about anymore?

Seriously, I get it. The inconsistency is really freaking irritating. But we have larger issues in this game than what the splash art looks like, and whether or not a champion has a darn cigar.

I love how graves can't have a cigar but pretty all the female champs have 3/4 of their boobs showing and the r all totally sexualised. Seriously Riot r u run by a bunch of horny teenagers who need to make porn like characters to feed their fettishes

Esq. Gragas has a cigarette in an old fashioned cigarette holder. So it's slightly different case there.

wait teemo has a global taunt? how do you do that?

Why is it such a big deal that it's missing.

You've been given a reason why. Leave it at that and move on.

Its a ploy. In a couple of months riot will release traditional Graves . They will then proceed to make a shit ton of money off of people who apparently care so much about graves having a cigar that they would buy a skin for him with it.

He still has cigar in our minds and in Youtube machinimas. He even doesn't have one, he has bunch of them.
