He's a bruiser (sort of), I can't think of another one who has such severe mana issues. They need to make him scale better with levels. That said, I like the speed on E idea.WW jungle speed isnt an issue. He is just as fast as jarvan/gp/lee sin, yet they are all competitive picks. The problem is ww's trade off for his speed is much more severe. GP has an insane late game and tons of map control at level 6, plus decent ganks. LS and J4 have good ganks and a decent late game. The difference with WW is that while his late game and post 6 map control are good, the trade off prior is much too severe. You basically have no map presence. Like if I was in charge of WW adjustments I would do a little quality of life thing with his w where he gets a 10% attack speed bonus just as a passive (since the cd is VERY long for a spell like that, even if it is a very strong one) and then try to find some way to rework his e so that he has more map presence. My idea was for an overall change to where you can only see that he has vision of you if you have vision of HIM (and thus his e will be on all the time) and then by activating the ability you gain a speed buff. And ya- I wish his mana costs didnt suck as well. The problem is that his q is broken in lane if it is cheap.

I'd rather pick something up instead of FH though, being able to grab Randuin's/Mallet earlier would be really nice. | ||

I think if they want to keep him close but nerf him would be slow down the projectile speed on his Q by a decent chunk. As it stands, if you throw it at the right range the speed on it is fast enough to make it really hard to dodge. I think the landmines could use a little nerf too, like maybe removing the slow wouldn't be a bad start. Couple that with how insanely easy he is to use and it means instead of a learning curve, anybody who buys him can immediately smash face. It's not just the spamminess of Q that makes blue buff Ziggs a terror, it's the interaction with his passive* - had one game as Ryze where my Lee Sin fed him double buff at around L4-5 while I was shopping, and I got pushed to my tower then murdered underneath it to a combination of minefield/Q/auto spam with his ult as a coup de grace. Brrrr. * Short Fuse (Innate): Every 12 seconds, Ziggs' next basic attack deals 13 + (7 × level) (+0.35 per ability power) bonus magic damage. This cooldown is reduced by 4 seconds whenever Ziggs uses an ability. | ||

WW barely uses mana other than Q. Jungle WW shouldn't have mana issues and in teamfights you get a Frozen heart and you're fine. Laning you grab either a couple rings or you can get chalice and your mana issues are solved. When I play WW...mana problems isn't something I really worry about tbh... | ||

What lanes does he struggle with? Thus far I've found myself doing pretty well against most other AD/support combos but I realize that my personal experience may not be 100% accurate. Are there any combos in particular straight up counter him, as in, make it so that he gets zoned or something? I figured that Caitlyn could give him problems as she does every AD and I know that MF out damages him pre-6. But otherwise I feel he's really strong in lane and his level 6 burst combined with his E steroid makes him so strong during midgame. Probably a lot of ADs who are better than him late game but his early and mid game is pretty incredible and once you start snowballing it's hard to stop a fed Graves. | ||

Versus MF with doubleup and Ashe with a good support I have a nice game usually. But with your passive up, you can take on any botlane. | ||

I've actually been banning him sometimes because he's super annoying :x edit: I guess I haven't seen many do well, but I hate laning against that guy I wouldn't say he's bad. He does a lot of damage, but he's still a new champ, so I was surprised that they used him in a tournament setting, so quickly. | ||

The only one who 100% screws him over is Cait, like you said. Sivir and Corki have the potential to beat/go even with him fairly easily though. It really depends on how good your supports are. | ||

The clip showing it should be possible, not sure if it would work with Kat since her's is near instant though. + Show Spoiler + | ||

It really depends on how good your supports are. Yeah, I figured that ignoring supports Caitlyn would be the most annoying and I know you can run Graves/Soraka to just shove lanes against a Caitlyn. I've found that he actually deals with Caitlyn decently because of his Q you just have to be capable of pushing (so basically have Soraka and make sure you have a ward). The other ADs don't seem to give him too much trouble you just can't always trade with a few unless you have passive stacks up. I realize that it's kind of hard because duo bot is just as reliant upon the AD carry as it is the supports but the only real problem I ever have with him in lane is going OOM if I start playing too aggressive. I've found most match ups down there to be entirely skill based and maybe it's just cause the people I'm playing against are bad but I feel like it's really easy to get fed with Graves because lots of people still don't expect his level 6 burst. | ||
