Talk:Graves/@comment-26433263-20150723173645/@comment-5955640-20150723223135

I like to do whatever works myself. One of the problems I was having with Graves was sustained damage and the lack of strengths in his passive and his Quick draw not to mention how little his Smokescreen adds to his kit.

He was doing really well because his caster style of playing felt really good in light of Lucian nerfs and Graves only really wins his fights in one way. Bully the opponent and burst them with a hard Q and R to the face.

But that's the weird thing about his kit. He wins a fight through burst but why does he have a AS steroid and a damage mitigation passive? That would suggest that he's supposed to win trades over time and not all in one go. Ontop of that where's the penetration or true damage? Those are rather essential elements to progresssing into late game and not have your damage blocked by tanks. Ontop of that he doesn't have an AD steroid so he's very item dependant with regards to straight damage and crit.

Untill they do something about that I will unfortunately avoid playing Graves.
