pro: okay i can outplay the enemy carry by limiting his vision with my smokescreen so he can't AA me, i can also utilize E to dodge his skillshots and i can get up in his face for Q damage when the smokescreen expires, i'll try to save my R for teamfight if possible

the bolded is how you should try to play graves. imo though most of the lower ranged adcs are harder to play. ie twitch is also a difficult champ to play; his stealth mechanic can make or break a twitch along with his awkward ult.
