Bot Lane

Just a quick thought,

I played a match as Graves, versus an enemy Lucian. In this match the Lucian kept me under tower a majority of the game, yet as Graves was still able to manage to keep my CS higher than Lucian's, and then Late game just flat out three shot him. In addition, both sides in bot lane had one to two ganks, but neither were effective, since Lucian or I (Graves) could dash away before becoming in real danger. My support was Taric, and Lucians support was Janna also.

My question is: Is this normal in this match up, to be dominated, until you get a few items then just destroy Lucian as Graves.

I'm pretty sure Graves beats Lucian in almost all situations when you can firmly get into his range. The one you faced just had a much better support champ. Both Lucian and Graves have burst but Graves has way more upfront burst while Lucian's burst is more spread out (and even worse than before until later levels so there is that factor too).

He was probably just hitting minions whenever instead of last hitting, this pushed the lane making it impossible for his jungler to gank you without doing a full on tower dive therefore eliminating any chance to gain a gold advantage which is the main growth method for ADCs. Since you got the gold you out scaled him when the time came. Essentially you were better as an ADC so you beat him.

It's a skill matchup. It comes down to the support mostly.
