Warwick
You should look to avoid Warwick in the jungle. Warwick is a champion with an extremely high threat to Graves due to his insane stick potential with Q latch and E fear. Try to avoid fighting him unless you are in an ideal position with teammates to back you up. Kite him as much as you can to stay away from his threat range.

About Graves
|
|
— The Outlaw |
"End of the Line"
Graves is a marksman jungler with a high-damage kit. He can solo enemy champions with ease due to his New Destiny passive which gives him a ton of damage at close range.
Graves is notorious for his healthy clears at full hp due to his kiting ability.
However, New Destiny also gives Graves a hard time because his auto attacks are not always effective: monsters/minions/towers block his damage and consume a bullet.

GRAVES |
"Graves has smoked out his enemies in higher levels of play, so we’re quickdrawing back some of his Lethality-based power by curtailing his AD ratio which will also affect his ability to heavily snowball in gold. This shouldn't affect his other builds as much, since they're less reliant on the additional damage, so we’re hoping this encourages players to try those out too for shooting off the legs of his enemies."
Patch 10.11 Notes
Graves Q first shot damage ratio reduced.

Changes affecting Graves:

Vazo - Introduction
Hello, I'm Vazo, and welcome to my guide on Graves jungle!

Future Guide Additions
Video clips will soon be implemented for Graves' mechanics so it gives a visual sense of how to actually perform the animation-cancels in game.
Runes
Phase Rush is ideal against teams that Graves needs to chase/kite. This keystone gives you the needed mobility to either chase down and stick to opponents, or kite and run away from them easily.
The Phase Rush runes should be used for the Graves lethality build.
Fleet Footwork is meant for the standard playstyle with a slightly tanky build.

Graves can also look to invade the enemy jungler if they're a farm-heavy champion (ex. Karthus). He can use [E]
Quickdraw dash at level 2 over the baron pit/dragon pit to catch the enemy off guard with his invade.Graves can take a conservative full clear path as shown above, or seek a more aggressive pathing style:
Red Brambleback

Blue Sentinel

Gromp
> Invade Enemy JungleAs the jungler, you should always look to adapt to the situation of the map.
Graves Mechanics
Graves : [E] Quickdraw > [Q] Collateral Damage
Graves can animation-cancel his Q by using E when he runs out of ammo and then using Q immediately.
Graves : [R] Collateral Damage > Flash
If you're in a really bad spot and have to get over a wall from a distance where you cannot just flash, you can ult in the direction facing the wall and flash in the same direction. This will get you over the wall and also activate your ultimate ability in the direction you just came from.
NOTE: Videos will be implemented in the future for a better visual idea of how these mechanics are used.
Graves Build In-Depth
Phase Rush Build
Currently the top build for Lethality Graves.
Skirmisher's Sabre - Warrior OR Stalker's Blade - Warrior if you didn't go Nimbus Cloak
Youmuu's Ghostblade
Duskblade of Draktharr
You build situational items after this.
I personally prefer building Death's Dance after Duskblade.
Fleet Footwork Build
Graves' standard slightly tanky build.
Skirmisher's Sabre - Warrior
Black Cleaver
Phantom Dancer or Rapid Firecannon
Take Hexdrinker instead if you're against a high MR threat.
BOOTS
I recommend always building either
Ninja Tabi or Mercury's Treads. Analyse the game and then itemize accordingly.NOTE: I usually go with
Mercury's Treads unless I'm against a full AD team comp. Berserker's Greaves are only viable in specific cases, or when you're snowballing hard. Please keep this in mind, because if you build Greaves when you're not in the position to, then you're practically just asking to get dunked on.
Tips and Strategies
EARLY GAME GRAVES
LATE GAME GRAVES
Graves isn’t very good in the late game (even when full build) because he struggles to take down any key targets - especially if they’re grouped together.
Conclusion
I hope you found this guide helpful. I will continue to update this guide as with new information that'll be useful in mastering Graves in the jungle.
Wishing you the best of luck on the Rift,
