How come I can tell from every change they make (and give numbers for)  how powerful a champion is going to be but riot can't? she functioned ok before because despite her spiders did physical damage, so her damage was split almost 50/50 physical magical with most functional builds. When they changed that to magical, there was no split - which is a direct buff since most champions have lower MR than Armour for the majority of the game, and meant that spell penetration - the thing she already scaled well with - spiked in power. Because the spiders have roughly the same attack speed as elise, she does 240 spell damage per auto attack. with an AP ratio of 105%. You know how much that is with an effective AP build? 2000 spell damage per second while the AS nuke is up. Who needs spells? Just swarm a bitch.

But graves can't have a fucking cigar.
