here's a quote from Phreak about nerfing Graves, Ez, and Croki. 

"As we saw from the EU Regional, it was only three carries that really got repeat picks. It was big bursty in-your-face carries that naturally synergize with offensive supports (Taric/Leona/Nunu) that got all the play. Now, I think picking offensive-oriented lanes is cool. But this is caused more by how supremely powerful Taric/Corki/Ezreal are. And they happen to be super offensive in lane as well. This isn't so much a conscious thought of, "Hey guys, I want to run an aggro bottom lane." This is a conscious thought of, "Here's the best AD carry in the game. So here's the naturally synergizing support.""
