Couldn't Grave's new ammo system work for all marksmen?

Title.

I mean it would make more sense. Gun's have ammo and they often have to reload.

Edit: Okay how about only the ones who use guns?

"Realism" ≠ Good Game Mechanics.

I'd like that, however not all Adcs use guns.

How many axes do you think Draven should get to throw (and not catch) before he has to B? How many times should Kog'maw be able to vomit before having to take a lunch break?

they would reload like graves. it could be a great balancing tool, and not everyone would use it.

Why do you want to give all ADCs enough burst to make dedicated assassins weep tears of jealousy?

not burst, just limited sustained damage.

Sustained damage is (barring exceptions like new Graves), THE defining strength of ADCs. Limiting that strength with an ammunition mechanic would necessitate compensatory buffs, and while Graves' compensation might have gone a bit too far (nerfs incoming), that's the general scale that we're talking about, here. By the time those nerfs are done, his 1 second burst might be merely on the order of about 10 * totalAD... (instead of the 13-18? that it is now)

i'm not saying it should be implemented, i'm just saying it could be and would be interesting on some of the adcs

Sure, and it would also constitute a massive nerf on any ADC that didn't also receive compensation buffs of similar scale.

yeah, that's why it would only be useul on some adcs, i didn't say it should be implemented but it could be, and it would be assumed that there would be some sort of compensation (i.e. Caitlyn's headshots)
