Today, League of Legends received another update, adding a brand new champion – Graves, the Outlaw. The patch included changes to Skarner and Corki as well as changes to the Hextech Gunblade. This patch also has a change to the new Dominion mode, where minor settings have been tweaked.
True Grit (Passive): Graves gains increasing armor and magic resistance the longer he remains in combat.
Buckshot:Graves fires three bullets in a cone damaging all enemies in the projectiles path. Enemies at close range can be hit by multiple projectiles, but each one beyond the first will deal reduced damage.
Smokescreen: Graves fires a smoke canister at the target area that deals damage and creates a cloud of smoke. Enemies inside the smoke cloud have reduced sight range and movement speed.
Quickdraw: Graves dashes forward gaining an attack speed boost for several seconds. Attacking enemies lowers the cooldown of this skill.
Collateral Damage (Ultimate): Graves fires an explosive shell dealing heavy damage to the first target it hits. After hitting a champion or reaching the end of its range the shell explodes dealing damage in a cone behind the target.
