I always liked Graves, even when he wasn't used much. However i don't think Graves is neither op nor that 'easy' to use. The right click abomination called Vayne is just a little easy to use you know.

Smokescreen is rather easy to get out of, with one of the common gap closers nowadays. It has a high cooldown too, slow % is not that impressive either.

Quickdraw is quite balanced. It sure is a great gap closer AND attack speed boost when used offensively, with a cooldown decreased per attack, but when you look at it like an escaping tool, it is just average. Just look at Tristana's Rocket Jump or Corki's Vakyrie, or even Lucian's Relentless Pursuit.

His passive is good, but 1) it adds nothing to Graves' offense 2) it reaches its maximum effectiveness after 10 seconds of fighting...

Graves main feature, in my opinion, is his great burst damage coming from Buckshot + Collateral Damage combo, which is also AoE.
