Graves should punch/bash while close enough to melee if he has no ammo and is reloading!

So after playing the new i can safetly say he's amazing, everything he should be! I love the reloading concept, however i think if he's in melee range he should do a punch/bash with the butt of his gun(crit) with his rifle for less damage than his bullets rather than just sitting there. i feel this would help both cs and those crucial moments, mostly early but some late, where you're in a 1v1 and have to reload. anyway just a thought i had whilst playing . let me know your thoughts below. ( this could require some damage shift so he's not the most OP AD in the game)

Yeah. No. Sorry but his reload is so he's not spamming 10 shots doing 4800 damage to everyone in the game on a constant. His reload time is an almost necessary evil. I'd be inclined to remove his reload timer or give him a melee auto attack while he is reloading IF we reduce his overall damage by about 15% and on a crit he'd shoot 6 total shots (8 with IE) instead of 8 or 10. While strong at the moment, he's still relatively balanced because of his dps falling off during a 2 second time period :D

that's why i said a damage shift would most-likely be needed

... I like this idea, but it feels somewhat out of place, maybe on a new champion.

he's the only champ that has a reload so i feel he deserves it since he's losing quite a bit of damage when reloading

Well to be fair, he's already plently powerful with the reload system because you can easily 1v1 fighters at melee range.

true but it would feel nicer if he had a means of attacking those fighters if he's reloading. it would deal reduced damage vs the bullets(obviously) but not make him a sitting duck if oom or reloading. after all other adc never lose their aa.
