Quickdraw having a mana cost makes him think twice to commit to a fight when he is low on mana. Making his dash have no mana is the same problem that Lucian had back when his dash had no mana cost. Even when he exhausted all his resources, he could still commit to fight and/or escape, which is problematic for an ADC. I mean, Kalista who is the only ADC with a Free Dash, has to actually fight you to dash and kite.

His passive is already pretty strong for Early and MidGame so I don't think that losing all passive stacks is really punishing and while R and W changes could be good, I think that they should first concentrate on what made Graves so strong in the first place rather than just straight up buffing Graves even more by giving him more Utility.
