Introduction
Who am I?
My name is Lexi, I've played Graves since he was released and have ammased almost 5 million mastery points on Graves spread over several accounts.
Why listen to anything I say? :D
I peaked in Season 8 maintaining Masters with a 59% w/r playing Graves and when he was pick/ban, I'd go support and play Karma, Brand or Thresh.
Pros / Cons
|
PROS
+ Fast clear speed.
+ Strong skirmishing. + Variety of builds. + Strong in every Meta. + Lots of room for skill expression. + He's good looking OwO. TL;DR, he has a very healthy + speedy clear speed, strong skirmishing, flexible build paths, the Meta never truly unfavours him, there's room for skill expression, VERY HANDSOME! |
|
CONS
- No Crowd-Control.
- No Utility. - Short range! - Weird AA's. - Very underwhelming when behind. - Snowball reliant. TL;DR, he is short range, no utility apart from his Smoke Screen which is quite lack-luster + he has weird AA's and animations. |

Pathing
My Pathing
In 90% of my games I will start Red->Wolves->Blue->Gromp->Contest Skuttle.
HOWEVER, I do (if I have ignite) like to invade:
Red->Hop the wall of Dragon with E->Invade Enemy Blue/Gromp and try to cheese a lvl 2 kill.
If i decide to start Blue I will go Blue->Gromp->Wolves->Red-Gank mid/top, but this is very unusual.
If I'm in a game where the lane-states are not gankable, I will full clear bot->top or top->bot depending on which side I'm playing for.
Misc
Future-Proofing:
I will continue to Edit this guide to try and keep up with the changes to the meta.
