Ideas for some Graves buffs

Graves is in an okay spot, but there's still room for improvement. Here are a couple of suggestions I have.

  1. Lower the mana cost of Buckshot to 60/65/70/75/80 from 60/70/80/90/100.

  2. Lower the mana cost of Smoke Screen to 70 at all ranks instead of 70/75/80/85/90 mana.

  3. Change True Grit to max out at 5 stacks rather than 10, and that each stack provides 1/2/3/4/5/6 AR/MR instead of 1/2/3 AR/MR.

The third change, IMO, is the most important one. True Grit NEVER maxes out in current team fights because they'll never last those full 10 seconds. Graves either dies or he falls out of combat for too long. Changing it to max out after 5 seconds makes it far more useful, and with the numbers I've given, he still gets 30 AR/MR when it's maxed out in late-game.

The only buffs graves needed were nerfs to lucian and corki...

No. Graves is in a good spot in terms of balance.

Just rework the passive, if you know how armor works you know that this is near useless.

Each point of armor is how much additional damage you need to deal 100 damage to your hitpoints.

This means at max rank, with it fully stacked, it takes 30 additional damage to deal 100 damage to your hitpoints. This is pretty useless when enemies are critting you for upwards of a thousand.
