Generally, yes, but on Graves it could work if implemented right. Having a tanky marksman would be a bad idea on any other champion, because their range and heavy late-game DPS makes them difficult to reach already, but it would work on a carry whose combat paradigm would be to dive into literally every fight. Graves is a short-ranged marksman, and his abilities all work far better when he's close to the front line, so with the right weaknesses (a vulnerability to ranged harass and preemptive burst, for example) he could afford to become legitimately tanky in fights.
