Graves Botlane: Does it still work?

General Question, does Graves AD Carry still work given how the Marksman Update changed him almost completely? All I usually play in that role is Either Jhin/Twitch or even Ziggs on occasion. I used to love playing Graves down in Botlane back then, Now I almost never play him at all.

Mordekaiser still works, so why not?

Sure, it's not "meta" but there's nothing to stop it from working.

You'll get out ranaged and it's hard to hit people since minions block your shots. Would not recommend

It can work, your laning phase is just gonna suck massive balls though if they know what they're doing. Blitz or Thresh would probably be a good pick to compliment him in the botlane. The main issue is his auto's can be blocked by minions so you generally lose on most auto trades, and have a pretty subpar range on the auto's anyway.

It is pretty good for a cheese lane though, if you stand in tribush with your Q at lvl one. Bounce that sucker off a wall and have your support follow you for some nice cheese really early.

Can it work? Yes. Is it optimal/a good pick? No.

He gets heavily outranged, so going for every cs is going to be a pain and easily zoned. As well as any botlane can fight every single wave as long as they kite around their minions, you can't hurt them almost at all, which really sucks.
