Any updates you'd make to this guide for the curent patch? I'm a big fan of all of your work. I've been playing Graves exclusively with Jungle Item --> IE --> IE --> Essence Reaver. Is it still viable to skip the jungle item first? I feed like crazy everytime I don't get my jungle item first.

Hey Hamstertamer,

I mean i've heard about lethality , but crit became something new for me. I actually like this guide, I did try it out once and it was actually really good, I carried the game xD

I mean it's not like graphically pleasing to look at, but it's simple to read and you can easily understand the point of why crit can be good. I like this guide. :)

Thanks, glad you like it especially since it's a pretty short and unpolished guide. Lethality Graves used to be very good back when gave a 160% damage crit and procced on autoattacks, since you could pretty much oneshot with auto+Q, but now lethality Graves is mostly outdated and full crit deals way more damage even in bursts.

Really love this guide. I've been playing exclusively AP Nunu and clibming well in Ranked thanks to your other guide. Would it be possible for you to update this guide for the scuttlebug rework? We can't go Red buff --> Raptors --> Scuttle anymore because the scuttlebugs spawn after three minutes or so. What do you recommend?

Standard is to basically do a full clear now : red -> raptors -> blue side (start blue or wolves depending on whether you fear an invade or not) -> crab. Game doesn't really reward invading early anymore since there is no crab at that point, but you can take enemy raptors after crab.

Hey, interesting guide, not what I see twitch streamers do (most of ppl I see play with fleet footwork) but it makes sense.
The only thing I can't get is stacking s. Just why? Aren't there better ways to build crit?

Actually, there basically isn't any other option to build crit. The other way is building several items, which give attack speed and not AD. But that's bad because Graves' passive doesn't scale well with lots of attack speed, not to mention his Q and R scale directly with AD. You could build instead of one IE, but the reworked ER is actually really weak and much worse than what it used to be. Personally I think Riot really messed up the crit rework that's why you get such an awkward looking build.
