Is graves still a viable consistent adc????

I haven't seen him adc much. I've pretty much only seen him top and jungle, except for maybe once. I kind of want to play him bot, but is it consistent enough to be worth learning well?

Technically no, but actual ADC's are in such a terrible state right now that technically you can play anything you want and be successful. Good luck either way

Trust me if you're good with Graves bot should be a free lane with him if you get a good support,someone with hard cc or hook like Thresh and blitz,so you dont have to chase the enemy around their creeps,also blitz hook and his knock up allow you to land both parts of your Q which will easily chunk 40% of enemy ADC health at lvl 5,plus when you get ult and some items you will be a lot more tankier and will be able to burst them down,go for black cleaver.The only problem is youre not a tank killer,not as good as Vayne,and you have limited range,so in team fights you might not be contributing as much

thanks for helping me with this. one of my largest concerns is that everyone and their mother plays Cait right now. Is she a mandatory ban or lose lane? Also at what level does graves usually have 100-0 burst on squishy ppl?

You need to be a bit ahead to burst a squishy from 100-0 but i've done it,its easier if youre a jungler. Altough for Graves i usually build an off-tank build for when i really want to tryhard,i end up having around 3k hp,armor,and lots of dmg,i look at him more as a bruiser,im not sure how he would do against cait,probably would be harder,but not impossible,like i said a good support that hooks is basically a free kill if he lands that hook.
