Reworks and changes?

So a while back, I ended up taking a pretty good hiatus from league because I didn't have a computer, but when I got one again (about a little over a year ago) I got back on league immediately. I had missed so much, I had left just after bard came out.

One of the first things I was super excited to play was my old main ADC; Graves. I admittedly didn't check for changes and insta-locked him in draft pick, and needless to say, I got wrecked.

I've been sitting on this for a while now, because A) it's boards, I already feel the witty responses coming B) I'm not the best player. But I felt it's the right time to bring it up and I have to know others opinions on this:

It feels to me that the changes that were made to Graves a while back and made him viable in literally only one role: Jungle.

Now maybe that's just me? Maybe I'm not skilled enough to make him work as an ADC in the current bot lane against other champs (I haven't tried recently, just don't see it working out at all).

I'm just wanting some opinions on the his rework; To see if anybody else feels the same way and doesn't like the rework, or if anybody has some reasons as to why this made him better?

It makes me a little sad that my once favorite ADC is stuck in the jungle. And I'm gonna nip it in the bud, I know I didn't need to spend money on it; But I bought a skin for him because I liked him so much in the bot lane. In my opinion there was just too much take away there, and I don't like taking ranged champs into the jungle, it's just not my play style. I tried it with kindred, and while she's super strong it just didn't feel well to me. Other people rock ranged champs in the jungle, but I'm definitely not good at it, nor is it something I want to work on.

To sum it up; I do not like or support the Graves changes, I want old Graves back (even if slight mods are necessary, not as drastic as these), and what are everybody else's thoughts?

The point of ADC/marksman was consistant, ranged, AA based phisical damage.

The big thing that Graves lacks is range.

THAT BEING SAID- I like to think of him like urgot. Ranged toplaner or in some cases midlaner.

Hes dope into actual ADC tops like vayne or quinn because of his blind, and taking the same runes for jg and lane work (you may need to swap def from armour to mr but eh). He still does tons of dmg and to be honest is one of the most satisfying solo-laners I have played to CS on. The ability to poke AND damage the wave, to dick towers super fast, and to jump over walls to get away from a charging kled, yeah man, seems good.
