McCree gets his cigar in Overwatch, so there's no reason Graves can't get his now

Unless McCree somehow has different assets in other countries and I'm not aware of it, he gets to have his cigar in all regions.

Still have a legitimate reason why Graves can't get the same?

IT'S A SODDING CIGAR. IT'S BARELY EVEN A THING. SO WHAT IF MCREE GETS ONE? THEY'RE DIFFERENT GAMES.

YOU THINK THEY'RE GONNA REINSTATE THAT FUCKING CIGAR NOW?! AFTER ALL THIS TIME?

SOD. OFF.

Not to mention that Gangplank pretty much confirms that graves is still smoking cigars in the lore,he just isn't smoking all the time....

Sharjo2 votes

Which is generally what people do. I know a few blokes who smoke, and they don't smoke all the time either, so yeah.

Graves not having a cigar is the dumbest thing.

Riot: "Graves can't have a cigar because smoking is dangerous and children shouldn't see him with a cigar." Me: "But he has a shotgun." Riot " um ... "

It's not about that at all. It's regarding other nations' laws and regulations regarding tobacco usage in media.

Cause Riot is owned by some sensitive Chinese pricks, Riot is not the one at fault, it's their main stockholders that are the sensitive asshats

I think turkey and russia are the problem countrys. china is actually ok with the cigar.

Can't remember which parts of the world it is, but I do believe there are some countries, like the ones you mentioned, rate their games differently and tobacco would bump up League's rating to mature from teen because of it. I mean that's the big reason why Riot took it away as far as I remember.

Not to mention, League has a higher player base in China and other Asian countries where regulations regarding tobacco usage depictions could damage the eSports scene.

Sharjo1 votes

Yeah basically Riot's very careful about League's image and want to preserve its integrity to the world as a game that's open to people of just about all ages groups from all across the globe. They'll d what's necessary for that, such as making their undead in such a way as to not be visually off-putting or culturally inappropriate, or removing tobacco to keep their game's rating at the same consistent level across the globe.

Russia is one of the highest countries on smokers lol. And Turkey has nothing against smoking. Turkey also doesn't have anything against homosexuality, otherwise Mass Effect 3 wouldn't be legal.

Riot's finally grown to have a champion whose quotes has words like "holy shit" & "bitchin", so yea, Graves should really have his cigar back.

Ah fuck that reminds me I gotta catch up on Critical Role.

And Graves quit smoking man, he vapes now. You should encourage him to stay quit, not tell him to smoke.But yeh, I've been replaying Read dead redemption. Fkn SICK GAME. Rockstar knocks it out of the park with each game.

This is not a funny meme anymore. Can't you just get over it? You almost can't even tell the difference in game and FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, IT IS JUST ONE, FCKING, CIGAR. GET OVER IT. OVERWATCH AND LEAGUE OF LEGENDS ARE TWO DIFFERENT GAMES AND MCREE AND GRAVES BEING TWO DIFFERENT CHAMPIONS. DAMN IT.
