Graves's base attack speed is the lowest out of every AD carry in the game. In fact, he is the only carry to have a base attack speed lower than .65.

Base attack speed is very, very important for DPS. Learn the attack speed formula and you'll understand why.

Graves's attack speed is so low that if him and Caitlyn build the same attack speed items, Graves's attack speed will only be 93.5% as high as Caitlyn's.

The recent nerf hurt something that truly matters to AD carrys - DPS. This is the first time that any carry's DPS has been nerfed (correct me if I'm wrong).

In fact, Graves will have a lower attack speed while using his steroid at max rank (+70% for 4 seconds) than Ezreal on a fully charged passive (+50% for an infinite amount of time).
