Is invading red by dashing from baron/drake pit at 0:57 a legit strategy? I feel like it's very strong as you avoid the usual raptors ward, but couldn't find anyone replicating it on YouTube so far, feel like nobody is abusing it (usually it's fullclear or red -> invade).
Not much info around either
E dash at 0:57 over drake/baron pit -> red then two options:
Option 1: enemy jungler is at red, you fight them and you most likely win or force their flash, as they will be on CD, with 1/3 hp gone beginning the fight, don't focus on the red
Option 2: enemy jungler isn't there, you take red buff
Once you take the red, you finish raptors warding bush, then krugs + recall
When you recall you'll spot enemy jungler at the ward you left, and they're going to invade you once they learn their jungle is gone, you're in base so you'll path accordingly to contest them with long sword advantage (and you'll win 99% times)
I think it was graves meta back in the years, what about now? Feel like it's very strong in low diamond elo
And once you get control over 3 quadrants, you're going to snowball heavily on this champ. It might look coinflippy, but i feel like it's very consistent with fundamentals (abuse your lvl1, then long sword advantage, then snowballing off quadrants control)
Any downside? Assuming mid/top matchups aren't something like anivia Vs akshan
