Honestly in SoloQ Graves Ez Cait and Corki(more on higher elos) are safer picks if you play solo Q i'm not surprised if everyone is using that. Why? Well starting with Ezreal:

Good ranged poke with his Q AoE damage with ultimate and mobility with E wich are always good to play from a safe position or get out of a fight if your team doesn't give a damn about protecting you or you failed to syncronize your positioning with the rest of your team.

Cait almost the same reasons as Ez despite her almost non existing aoe damage(her Q can't hit that many targets unless they are in a straight line) and her mobility isn't so good, but she can "ward" with her traps helping alot if your "i am last pick and i can't support for shit" support can't ward properly.

Graves has good AoE damage, and tankyness from his passive + his E dash can provide that survivability he needs in case things go back(that with a Taric+Graves combo he can have the same armor your average bruiser has)

Corki it's more on higher elo because his lower levels aren't that good but he has decent mobility from his Valkrye(W) and his post 6 range harass from his ult make his lane easier also he can deal alot of AoE damage.

Basicly in soloQ specialy at lower elos where team coordination isn't that good the best choices are usualy:

AoE Damage or CC(Graves Corki, Ez)

Mobility(Corki and Ez mainly, Caitlyn on a lesser scale)

Utility(Caitlyn)

Tankyness(Graves)

About the posts saying they see alot of Varuses recently well he works awesome with Amumu or a Sona in your team if you ult and the same time a sona ults the tentacles spreading from the initial target will usualy catch another.

And about the Vayne issue, she has a great potential to chase and get kills, a great single target damage that is also effective against bruisers, so she can kill one opponent fed(altough if your mid and top fed in example it's usualy GG 2 fed opponents focusing vayne she won't have time to kill anyone), also her Ult+Q tumble give her enough mobility and avoidance to prevent from being focused in a teamfight also with her E vayne can kite the shit out of almost all champions(hence why you usualy pick a Olaf to handle vayne).

But overall Graves Corki and Ez are safer than the other picks. Still there are some picks like Tristana with alot of positives that are undervalued mostly at low elo because of her weak early game.
