Can we put Graves back to ADC until you figure something out?

Ever since his rework he's gone no patch without being the top OG jungler with minimal weakness.

Barely has any weak points and he just needs more risk in his clear, but the problem is he relies on early snowballing so it's hard to make those adjustments.

Yet despite the nerfs he still sits at a 49% win rate in Plat/Diamond, 9th most picked in Diamond and 7th most picked in Plat.

52% win rate in Masters while being the 11th most picked.

48% win rate in Challenger while being the 13th most picked.

Playing against Graves will never feel satisfying.

i love the ignorance about graves it's so hilarious

GRAVES WAS STILL AN ADC AFTER THE REWORK

watch some streams of post adc rework, he was a monster botlane and could waveclear at lvl 3

V5.22 November 17th Hotfix 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.

he was still too strong after this

V6.3 New Destiny REMOVED: Buckshot Airborne icon knocking back Rift Scuttler Rift Scuttler. REMOVED: Double Barrel's 0.25 seconds recoil after attacking being interrupted by End of the Line and Collateral Damage. 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 where he moved to the jungle

the thing that allowed him to lane bot was the low mana cost Q and high damage to waveclear

if you want to bring him back bot, you should lower the mana cost again and increase the Q damage on minions
