Graves Is OP...

If I can go 21/5/11 my first match with him in normals. With any other ADC the best I can hope for is to not personally feed the enemy ADC, and maybe pick up a kill or two when it's handed to me. With Graves, though, I had so many screw ups, like somehow missing an ult on Leona when she was literally on top of me ("I'm going to go hang myself now," I said in all-chat afterwards) plus I kept falling victim to lag, and still I managed to perform like something resembling a real ADC for the first time in my LoL career.

To the people who suggested him in this thread (http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/tips-tricks/8sbc6gtV-need-help-finding-a-go-to-adc), I can't thank you enough. Now if only I could find another ADC like him so if I'm stuck going ADC and he's taken I'm not SOL...

It doesn't necessarily mean Graves is OP. You've just found someone you can comfortably play. :)

I know. I just had to share my new bromance with you guys (and properly thank the people who recommended him). Graves is love, Graves is life. I need the pool party skin because he's just too sexy for that shirt.

When you're clearly modeled after Hugh Jackman, a guy man enough to play Wolverine into his late 40s, you are more man than should be allowed.

Or his enemy laners weren't very good. Or he had a kickass support (or reasonably well played Blitz). Just because you do very well your first time doesn't mean you are good with them.

Graves isn't OP, he's just a lane bully as Lucian..well, maybe slightly better than Lucian. He falls of late game as every other caster ADC considering this is kinda Tanky meta so AA based Marksmans with tons of armor pene will most likely outshine him later.

Best examples are late game Jinx, Vayne, Caitlyn, Ashe etc, every single one of those outscales Graves on 5-6 items.

Personally I would preff a 5-6 items Jinx, Vayne or Ashe in my team against late game Maokai, Sion, Sejuani, etc rather than a 5-6 item Graves.

Again, I know... I know. It's just my status in the client is currently "Gay for Graves," so I'm just a little bit in love with the guy, and lane bully is exactly the type of champion I seem to enjoy the most.

With the champions you listed, I won't get to the late game because my early game will probably be awful. So, despite the drawbacks, he's by far the best option for me personally.

graves is op... he is too tanky especially with a ga combined with his passive + a shielding/healing support or someone that can peel well for him so he utilize his lifesteal in a prolonged trade he becomes very hard to kill. Yes i'm butt hurt because an adc should be melted the moment he gets caught. He has the burst, he has the mobility, the steroids, that underrated smokescreen that basically is like nocturne's ultimate... his only downside is his short range... and now they are sort of buffing him to reward him whenever he hits you with both 3 bullets from buckshot
