The Story of Graves

 Advantages and Disadvantages

Advantages:
- Ability of instantaneous damages in short period of time.
- Like Nocturne ult, there is Smoke Screen.
- Quickdraw skill can be used either running away or attacking.
- Graves got great passive so that you can put some points in UTILITY in Masteries.

Disadvantages:
- Base attack speed isn't good as other adc champs.
- Quickdraw isn't as good as compared to Ezreal which make him hard to survive in team fight.
- Short ranges of skill and attack.


Statistics

Runes

Masteries

1. Offensive play type. With some points at Defense, it lets you get more armors.

2. If you are one of those who can't manage your MP well, several points at Utility would help a lot.

3. Perfect Defense type with more survival chances.

Summoner Spells

Playing adc without Flash is suicide.
Flash can be used in two ways.
Running away or chasing champ and kill.

Ignite is always recommended.
As you know, there are always situations you miss your enemy just by one hit.
Using Ignite would help you to deal more.
