Is he just not able to 1v1 them in this scenario? I always struggle, I try to kite but they always get to me

What do you guys recommend doing when games last very long and u finish crit. Is selling boots good or selling a crit item for something like GA a good idea.

Hello, i used to play Graves mid like 3 seasons ago, maybe more, i wanna pick it up again, but with these changes, i don't know what to build/runes at all, i stopped playing for a bit, and stopped playing graves mid alltogether. What do i run for Graves mid, do i go fleet and Hubris -> Collector, do i go eletrocute and Profane --> (bruiser/crit/let), i am a bit confused. Obviously i'd assume it's matchup dependent, but any help is welcome. Thanks in advance

Hi,

I can go pretty fed most games (but normals, still in practice) however I have encountered that my only deaths are from onetap assassins or assassins which can one tap me. I am specificly talking about mid to lategame where he got enough items. I can secure all drakes, but game can become coinflip when im oneshot.

For example, i was doign really good, no one could kill me exept the enemy shaco who had 3 items and HOB (I had 4,5). He would legit just wait for me in teamfight and onetap me. I still won the game, but I feel like If he played a little bit smarter or the teamfights would be more close we would have lost all the gold lead in fights since I would kept diying.

I did 1 big error for sure, I didnt bought oracle, that was int. So what I could have tried is to "pre" oracle and predict when he will show up, but i dont think that is enough to not get oneshot.

I see two solutions:

1. Play like an ADC and wait for him to show up (he will litterly kamikaze me, even If I cuddle with team, when he shows up on top of me im dead, he will also die, but the problem is, when Im so much ahead, then my lead will mean nothing).
2. Buy defensives early, this could be an interesting one, maybe I could have bought also an deathdance but I dont feel like this would have protected me from the lethality crit armor pen shaco with hail of blades. Im not sure how I should build her without losing my carry power.

... or I could proceed like right now and hope for the best but I think that is really coin flip playstyle.

I can kite malph, Sett and so on ofc easy. But how to deal with someone who is invincble and will show up on top of you?

When I will start doing ranked with graves, I am 100% sure people will hard focus me down as Assassins in teamfights, I will play on my Emerald1 account with graves.

Here is the example which I ment:

What are advantages of taking fleet other than going secondary triple tonic and boots. I am failing to grasp why shouldn't I just take more damage over according to my understanding negligible heal and movespeed. Genuine question not ragebaiting.

I got challenger with Graves with multiple times and was rank 1 Graves couple of times and i found this build to be pretty good rn, let me know what u think

she just doesnt get it and idk what to do

Hi guys I’ve gotten back into league and I was wondering how you guys feel about the new vamp boots for graves especially in mid lane

i have been going stormrazor instead of hubris and it feels really good having that extra attack speed and MS. it has a very tough item build but i feel like it's worth it since he scales a lot better with it. i love the 25% crit rate which allows you to scale faster with more crits more often.i also feel like it allows me to scale better because i'm able to get 100% crit chance and still bloodthirster which feels nice. thought?

I'm a J4 main and have been having a genuine mental block against this champ lately, it feels like if I get behind early I'm cooked and when I shut him down early he still claws his way back into the game and one shots me on repeat late. Obviously he's not actually broken, or he wouldn't have a 49% winrate plat+. So I'd like to ask a couple questions

1. What things does graves struggle into? (Hard cc, burst, sustain etc)

2. What do you notice the other jungler doing in games where you feel like you're getting jungle gapped?

3. What mistakes do you find it easiest to take advantage of when playing Graves?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

So I've been playing the game on and off since it first launched a long ass time ago. The most I did ranked was back in S3 and got S1 as Renekton top. Now I'm wanting to get out of bronze, as well as try to solo carry because every game essentially is feeding lanes and chaos.

I wanna be an aggressive Graves where I can starve the enemy jungler and get my items asap so I can start popping people just by looking at them. What should I be doing and building most of these games?

Saw a post on here yesterday about a bruiser graves build along the lines of unreal -> black cleaver -> sundered -> tank items with fleet rune setup. A lot of ppl said bruiser graves is just worse than crit graves or not worth running, even though it feels like graves has some frontline potential. Recently I’ve been playing a few games where my team has no frontline or maybe only 1 while the enemy has 2 tanks. In games like these, is it worth running a bruiser build to frontline and let my other squishies carry the dmg, or should I stick to Dark harvest crit and try to solo carry these games?

I feel so lucky! is this considered rare? Thanks in advance and gl graves mains
