Buckshot:

"Enemies at close range can be hit by multiple projectiles..."

Yeah, that's fair. Ashe's Volley only has one arrow hit a single target causing 80 damage at max rank for 60 mana with a cooldown of 4 seconds. Graves, on the other hand, can have all three of his Buckshot hit a single target compounding for a total of 480 damage at max rank for 80 mana and a cooldown of 8 seconds.

Essentially, Ashe can fire off two volleys in that time for 160 damage and 120 mana. I'm not including the AD scaling because the difference is a matter of .2 which is minor (an additional 20 damage per 100 AD). The only real advantage Ashe has with her Volley is the slowing effect from her Frost Shot. Other than that, this seems fairly unbalanced, especially considering that Volley used to compound damage. I realize that it was very OP considering she had way more shots, but getting rid of it entirely and then giving an updated version to Graves seems a tad unfair.

Maybe they should allow three of her arrows to compound damage with a 35% reduction for each. I'd take that.
