Suggestion/Speculation Regarding Graves POLL

So I have a few suggestions regarding Graves in his current state, but first I must explain the issue I have with graves.

Graves since his rework has been a balance nightmare. Anytime he comes into meta he is THE premier solo que jungler. This is for the following reasons: He has knockback on autos making his jungle clear the healthiest (can take 0 damage in jungle); he takes scuttle fast and easy due to his knockback reducing its resistances; he has one of the best early duels meaning he can bully other junglers out of the river, kill them, or bully them off their own camps; he also farms insanely fast; has a dominant early game and also scales extremely well. Taking all of this into consideration it makes sense that hes nearly impossible to balance.

So I have 3 suggestions in the form of a poll

Option 1: Revert him back to an adc we all know and love while keeping the stuff that did work in his new kit intact Option 2: re-introduce his old kit onto a new character with a rifle instead oif a shotgun and maybe tweak them both to be competely different while keeping both playstyles in the game Or Option 3: This ones very innovative, and could be game breaking but could also bring a lot of freshness to the game. The idea here is that in champ select as graves you can choose to take a rifle into battle (loading in his adc kit) or take a shotgun into battle (bringing his current kit into the game). This would be completely innovative to the game introducing a whole new concept of flex picking, while also helping not not alienate players who loved a champion before a rework. In my opinion, If akali W is allowed to be in the game theres no reason this idea is too far fetched or too broken.

Old Graves was a basic character, where basically everything he had Lucian does better.

While new Graves may not be the best balanced all the time, reverting him isn’t going to happen, nor will the kit be coming back.

Also, can people stop with the “choose which version of the champion you want in champ select” thing? It’s just not going to happen.

I think this is a really good idea personally, I miss old graves and truly don't enjoy this new one, and facing him in the jungle is a total nightmare....when in my opinion he shouldn't even be a jungler. I would love to see old graves and have him as an adc again
