When he was reworked, didn't Riot have the intention of keeping him an adc, before people realized his AA's knocked back monsters?

I mean considering his abysmal AA range and the fact that his autos are blocked by minions, I can't imagine that Riot thought he would prosper in the bot lane.

When the rework happened, he was still an adc

the nerf to his Q waveclear was what forced him out of botlane

No it wasnt. His passive forced him out of it

it didn't matter if he could all in you and deal a lot of damage, or just waveclear with one Q and never interact

Stats Movement speed reduced to 340 from 345. End of the Line Initial damage reduced to 55 / 70 / 85 / 100 / 115 from 60 / 80 / 100 / 120 / 140. Detonation damage reduced to 85 / 145 / 205 / 265 / 325 from 90 / 155 / 220 / 285 / 350. Mana cost increased to 60 / 70 / 80 / 90 / 100 from 55 / 60 / 65 / 70 / 75

V6.3

End of the Line Detonation base damage reduced to 80 / 125 / 170 / 215 / 260 from 85 / 145 / 205 / 265 / 325. NEW EFFECT: There is now a 0.25 second delay for the detonation when it strikes terrain (changed from instant).

this is what forced him out of botlane

I don't know if you realized but he used to clear AN ENTIRE wave with Q

Yeah but let's be honest even if that nerf never happened he would have went to the jungle eventually. Now its basically impossible for him to be a bot laner again and it just feels bad. He was one of my favorite adc's and champs but now he just can't lane because of his jungle potential

i like how he has an actual shotgun now but he should be put back in bot lane. remove knockback vs monsters and go from there

graves was my favorite adc. And corki.

And now I can't play either bot lane without getting flamed and "REPROTED"

so I just don't play bot lane.

I loved Graves as adc, when riot reworked him I didn't play him since then, lol. With his current kit, he is op or pure crap, due to an item changes Corki needs his old passive and just to be an adc again.

At first Marksman be like WTF Riot make it so we can play Marksman in other roles Then Marksman be like WTF Riot make Graves a bot laner again

Don't get me wrong, I like the new Graves. He fits his aesthetic, he's a monster if he gets going, he can jungle or solo lane pretty well, and overall, he's pretty cool.

But GOD DAMN I hate body-blockable autos. I don't really want him to be reworked, I just want to see him given some love to reward him a bit more for properly shotgunning people, since even his primary damage can be creep-blocked. He's currently not really the strongest pick in this meta, and considering this is a meta where his in your face playstyle should be doing some work, I think he needs a buff of some sort.
