LOL!!!!! Thats how he was desinged. HE was designed to have a strong early game. Check out the champion spotlight.

Btw hiw bust is good if u go in up close range, smack faces from point blank with his shotgun, pop a somebomb and go out. considering he has good burst thats on a relatively long cooldown... 8 seconds, thats not too spammable. :) And u wont sppend too much on cd on a dps. Actually what he is good at is early gaqme harass. His lategames nice with having a little mobility, not even close to a blink tough, and has a nice burst, but not too strong. Btw he will get focused at the start, because his passive is rly good, so they will go at you first.

And btw even if he was too strong, he isnt easy to play, since i see most of the graves sucking. ( even if its a new champ lol... i was ok with him from the beginning...) If u wanna judge by his early game, ezreal's still stronger, a blink, whichis better than graves' and a longer range nuke, while graves real dmg pops close range... still raped. what he is awesome at, is going up to minions, 1 hit them, then walking back :D

What he is rly nice at is utility in teamfights, he can waste 1-2seconds of the enemies by taking their vision, while damagin and slowing them.

Nice utility, but needs skill, not a bumm i stun 15 ppl skill. Mobility is ok. i dont find it too useful, but its an ok gapcloser/escape skill. burst is situational, but ok. like the cone damage, and the mental warfare it gives, since opponents closing in knows u will hit harder the closer they are. :D and actually ulti has an ok damage, and an awesome range imo.

So hes has good early game, nice farming potential, and a good at pushing lanes. but its only good forhim to be on par with others lategame. :D Fail early, lose late.
