User blog comment:YourPrivateNightmare/Miss Fortune, Graves, and the non-existent diversity on bottom lane/@comment-4390799-20140804063114

For the longest time I've felt that Graves is basically a weaker, slightly tankier, outdated Lucian. Their kits are very similar (forward Q skillshot that can hit multiple targets, utility W, dash on E, and a linear skillshot ult), just Graves is more out of date. His E, for example, doesn't use the same mechanics as Lucian's. This is because Lucian's dash has an overhead, which allows him to technically dash around 25 or 50 units further when the endpoint of his dash is targeted in terrain. If there is room to land within the given overhead it will put him there. Graves' dash does not do that.
