New Graves... Unimpressed.

So with the re-works/changes to adcs, I expected Graves (my fave adc) to actually get a proper facelift and get back into the meta of botlane, sadly this is about the farthest from the truth I have found.

He has been mangled and pushed into a role that he has no place being, jungle/top? C'mon, I know you guys are smarter than that, you just did all the juggernaut updates, you think Graves can hold his own vs any of the current meta top laners? There's no chance. He's severely hampered by the fact that he uses ammo now. (Think about it, what other champ in the game is restricted to being able to use auto attacks) So not only does it limit his damage output, it also makes laning and CSing difficult, because you have to manage your ammo. His range reduction was not at all necessary either. Not only does he have to balance attacking minions AND poking enemy champs, it's null impossible given the fact that he relies on an ammo system now. Minions blocking autos also make it near impossible to apply pressure to an enemy top laner, as they can just avoid all your basics by hiding behind minions. And if you do try to move into range to poke them, you have 2 shots, then you're out of ammo, not to mention the absurd low range, that basically puts you into melee range with enemy top laners.

I was very excited about the Graves rework, and now I'm just sad, and feel he's going to be played less than ever.
