Question Looking to pick up graves, some questions

3 Upvotes

Hello!

I’m looking to pick up graves, but I have some questions.

  1. What is/are the biggest learning points about graves?
    I know of grit management so you can for example keep it up for crab and stuff. Is there any other notable stuff? For example power spikes or vulnerabilities?

  2. How is his clear in terms of, if I can’t 1 to 1 copy the fastest graves clear am I still chilling or do need do sweat max the clear?

  3. Least favorite matchups and most favorite match ups?

  4. How fast did it take you to get a hang of the champ at your elo (not alt account)

After the targeted hubris nerf what are we building first now 🤔 I’ve always really liked yomuus but voltaic sounds interesting ?

Gameplay Red invade strategy

4 Upvotes

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

Question Dealing with adc

2 Upvotes

New graves player here. As graves i feel like my biggest challenge is definitely after the game state where adc begins to start getting more and more items, js the other day i had a very good game was going 12/2 and almost double my opp's farm but as the game contuined the enemy jinx started to scale and the moment he got a reset he got a penta, worst thing was he had a yummi and literally was unkillable before i could kill her what do u do in these situations ? had to buy maw for the other chaps as well and late in the game i was thinking should i sell this and buy more armour ? This is my biggest hurdle with the crit build

I was playing graves after not playing him for awhile, and I decided to rush Maw 2nd after seeing they had 3 AP. But I was really surprised here in this clip where I was able to kill Morde after being at 1 hp. Is the maw shield + omnivamp just super good on graves (idk how omnivamp interact with his pellets), or are grit stacks just op?

Never really built maw this early and I was very behind this game so I was amazed at my damage and survivability esp vs AP champs

i think we can safely kiss hubris goodbye and go over to umbral first or maybe if someone’s experimenting with new builds?

Question Questions about builds

2 Upvotes
  1. Hubris>Collector>LDR>boots>IE>? (bloodthrister vs shieldbow)

  2. into heavy ap comps, if there is an more optimal build, if following the hubris path, when should I buy maw?

  3. into heavy armor/cc/hp comps, what's the best build path (bruiser graves feels weird to me because of the various range modifiers on items like SS)

  4. I run fleet footwork with sixth sense + treasure hunter 99% of games, inspiration when I go bruiser, dh when versing a very squishy enemy comp with no tanks, is there anything I should know about that?

Discussion Is Modern Graves Really Better Designed Than Classic?

Now we can play pre-rework Graves again in Classic, I thought, as a designer, it would be fun and interesting to compare both versions of the champ to see which I think is the better design overall.

After playing each of them side-by-side, which do you prefer?

Question Graves theory?

8 Upvotes

I'm looking for educational content/guides for graves, what I'm specifically looking for is not "streamer x plays a graves game in gm and wins" because I don't think that helps you understand the champion as in you aren't taught the thought process, only to replicate what you see, anyone has something like this? I know how to play graves, I have no clue how to make him work.

Discussion Am i just bad?

2 Upvotes

Hello gentlemen (and ladies which could be here)

Ive already been here with my question regarding Graves. And i have been using some of the advices like keeping my cs up, trying to counter jungle, powerfarm etc. I still wouldnt want to play bruiser build since i love the dopamine of 1 shotting squishies of the Summoners Rift. So far, i start either hubris or Yomus in beginning, depending on matchups. I dont build 2nd tier boots not till 3-4th item. And the problem is, when im ahead playing on Ru server, i loose games. Even if im fed in beginning i am loosing all of my lead in late game. I do not understand what am i doing wrong. I started being very selfish in terms of gangs and map rotation, i would rather powerfarm my jungle where i guaranteed get gold, rather than coming to a potentially bad gang that my team wouldn’t set up for me, because i do play in lower elo. In 1 day i went from gold 4 to silver 2, because we keep loosing the late game, and it is very frustrating. All of my adventures are on RU server. Recently tho, i made an eu west account, and started playing ranked. Without a doubt, i was dominating lobbies. Why cant it happen on silver or gold.

I will link my op gg here.
So far, im banning Shyvana, but it seems like whenever im playing against Nocturne, its insta loose for me.
PLEASE HELP
Thank you

It seems the area at the end where it bursts into fire deals more than the direct first line? But if it hits someone on line it bursts immediately and hits everyone behind?
