Is Graves the right character for me?

[quote=Sandshadow]I've heard the Graves was nerfed and overall not as good of a character when being paired up to other ADC's. I'm relatively new to this game, I'm only level 10 with 15 wins. I just want to know if its ok for me to master Graves, cause I've been doing great with him recently.[/quote]

[quote=DKitten][[Graves]] is a full-on offensive marksman. He's tankier than other marksman due to his low range, but landing all three [[Buckshot]]s give him impressive burst when combined with certain supports. While he has some capability of carrying himself regardless of support, I would make sure you can play one other marksman at least. Maybe once you hit Lv21, pick up a new marksman to master.[/quote]

[quote=Sandshadow]Alright, I'll do that, but who should I pick up instead of him?[/quote]

[quote=DKitten]I would pick someone who isn't as bursty, so not [[Ezreal]] or [[Corki]]. Probably not [[Sivir]] either, though she's currently very underused anyways. [[Draven]] is also a burst. So that leaves you with [[Ashe]], [[Caitlyn]], [[Kog'Maw]], [[Miss Fortune]], [[Quinn]], [[Tristana]], [[Twitch]], [[Varus]], and [[Vayne]]. If you like balls-to-the-walls playstyle, that leaves you with [[Ashe]], [[Caitlyn]], [[Miss Fortune]], [[Quinn]], and [[Tristana]], possibly [[Vayne]]. Personally, I'd say [[Tristana]] or [[Quinn]] are your best options. Given that [[Tristana]] is much cheaper (you can actually get her for free), I'd take a look at her first and try [[Quinn]] when she has a free week.[/quote]

[quote=Sandshadow]What does burst mean? lol[/quote]

[quote=DKitten]Well, typical marksmen are noted for dealing more damage over time than mages (who do a lot of damage in a little time, but then have cooldowns). Burst is what mages do. DPS is what marksmen tend to do (and [[Graves]] does DPS, it's just not what he's well known for).[/quote]

[quote=mastrer1000]wft are marksmen? also graves has a shotgun, just saying :D[/quote]

[quote=DKitten]Marksmen are the new term for AD Carries, [url=http://www.surrenderat20.net/2013/07/updates-to-champion-role-names.html]as coined by Riot[/url].[/quote]

[quote=samgoeslol]play what you enjoy graves is a good adc as shown by imaqtpie id recommend playing freeweekchamps and then deciding weather to buy them btw isnt there a thread for these kinds of questions?[/quote]
