Talk:Graves/@comment-3532889-20111103170159

balance talk has gotten out of hand... again. :(

Riot tries to make a champ unique, and people rage at what makes him special, until he looks exactly like the other champions. RoShamBo is balanced, why? Because there are only 3 choices that perfectly counteract each other :/. Graves isn't THE BEST carry in every possible situation, people need to consider the aspects already in play that balance him before they repeat what the poster below him says and whines about something they don't understand.

It could very well be, and likely was, that Graves was overpowered in some aspects. However, in regards to what they have already done I feel they went in the wrong direction. Instead of lowering the damage he can do from a distance, they nerfed both the move that gives him more damage up close and the passive that allows him to do it. :( In other words, they flattened what made him most interesting. Champions are easier to balance when they are all the same thing...
