I've been playing nothing but Graves and Vayne for the past couple days. They are so insanely strong. All I see picked are ADC's like Lucian and Jinx when there are honestly overpowered ADC's. I've had an afk and a toxic AD Annie and still been able to carry as Vayne. If you don't believe me, check my match history. Just try them. http://www.lolking.net/summoner/na/47859680#matches
Vayne is very popular. Not sure what you are talking about.
Silver bolts is the reason she is op. Does way too much damage.
well for graves to be good you have to really land his skill shots, so it's the player that makes him OP not the champion necessarily. As for vayne, I know there's good vayne's and bad ones..I don't look too much into it. However the jinx and lucian is just so because jinx has the ability to snowball easily especially with her passive, and she can also siege towers very fast, Lucian is a mobile adc with a lot of skill shot based spells and is pretty fun to use. But the pro scene definitely prefers lucian over anyone else so Rito likes to focus on anything the LCS plays rather than most champions that truly are broken.
well shit, and I thought my xin performance was fabulous
anyways yeah, ADCs are really strong I've seen top Vaynes, bot Vaynes, Faker was a mid lane Vayne bully cuz fking faker man ;/ and some guys arguing that ADCs are really good junglers as well
ADCs can do just about everything but support, its ridiculous
This was when Vayne was OP:

It's been a long time.
To carry on a Vayne still requires team support - unless you are insanely far ahead of everyone and that means you just played really well.
Otherwise she's quick to burst down. I think you're overvaluing your performance as adc. If you don't have people shield you or struggle harshly in bot lane - you have a much harder time succeeding.
One thing you should also keep in mind - the jungle changes have heavily influenced the dynamic. Junglers are far less likely to have an early impact so the threat of bot lane getting ganked early has severely diminished, which in turn makes it a lot easier for a Vayne to keep up in lane.
Graves: has steady power throughout the entire game, can easily duel an enemy adc in lane. Just sort of exists late game, no real "ooo" factor.
Vayne: has a steady power increase throughout the game, cannot easily duel until level 10 or so. Ease in team killing her increases with her level.
Jinx: has early lane harass, extremely susceptible to burst damage early game, reaches a peek in damage mid to late game. Long ranged AOE damage + AA steroid makes late game teamfighting/tower pushing a must.
Lucian: has strong early and mid game from early burst and harass, quickly loses his usefulness once mid to late game rolls around (except for some reason no one can cc the dude late game, so he just bounces around pretending to carry).
