^ Your test was shit, and you don't listen.

I said that you'd negate his steroid depending on what level he is and how much other bonus AS he's rocking, a part that you apparently derped right over. First of all, Graves' steroid is 80%, not 90%. Second of all, you only negate his steroid if -40% of his AS is equal to or greater than the steroid.

Consider that Graves gets up to 49% bonus AS from leveling up, 25% from zerk's, 55% from PD, 4% from masteries, and up to 22% from green. This brings you to 235%, or enough for 2.1373 attacks a second. Ezreal hits him with W, he nows attacks 1.28238 times a second, OR roughly what he would do with nothing but his naked AS and a PD (steroid, elixir, masteries, zerk's are all negated).

What you probably did was hit a level 18 Graves with W, when he only had berserker's, masteries, and his steroid. THAT Graves only has about 159% bonus AS, so W reduces his attack speed to merely 50% above normal

This is not complicated math, son. The formulas are right here on the wikia.

Also, you are out of your mind that an IE + PD Ezreal sucks early/mid. Ezreal's dominance early is based on his KIT, not his gear. He can go double Doran's Sword right into a right-click autoattacker build and still have a powerful laning phase. Why? It's because Mystic Shot is boss, as is Arcane Shift, and Essence Flux means that you win exchanges with all AS-based carries. That's why.
