Looks pretty good. I like it that you run 21/0/9 (I do as well), though I recommend you take Mastermind over Expanded Mind . I'd recommend against pairing him with Lulu. She has worse synergy with Graves than you think. When I play Lulu with Graves, I find the Graves player tends to force fights too early to his disadvantage.

I fail to see how your defensive page gives less damage than your offensive page. They both have the same skills in the offensive tree, the only thing I see is more mana which does not give greater burst damage.

For the Cleanse explanation, I don't believe you can cleanse knockup's hence Alistar Q would not be needed. You also state that instead of heal you should pick barrier, although you do not list it in the summoner spell list.

I disagree about always starting with boots, against someone like Vayne which you have a distinct advantage over early game why not go Longsword + 2 health potions?

Im surprised you don't mention Statikk Shiv which is better than Phantom Dancer mid game although worse late game. This is due to the added extra burst ontop of what Graves has.

You don't mention Last Whisper? Which is kind of strange, if your team has a person which is peeling with a BC then a LW could be better.

+1
Btw you should fix the notes for core and late game.
You changed the item sequence, but you forgot to change the notes!
You could also BBCode Graves. You pretty much BBCoded every other champion so why not Graves? :o
The lane synergy section is nice as well!

Fair point kento, especially with the season 3 changes to both items. I'll amend that in.

Hi, I'm Kento, and I see your guide and it's good, but as a graves player, the core is Bloodthirster and the Phantom Dancer, not the Infinity Edge, because crit it's not important on graves at early game and mid game, because u are a skill spammer, u do most damage with skills at mid game, so, Infinity Edge is better on late game.
