Introduction
Hello guys my name is Derik...derikito on league of legends,this is my first guide on solomid and i started making this little guide for Graves.
Graves is a strong Ranged AD Carry with useful skills,good harass,good escape (quickdraw can go through walls) and good resistance with your passive.
This guide is not as perfect,but i hope to help new players who are starting with Graves.

Explanation:


BOOM...this is your strong ultimate with decent AD scale Ratio,use this when teamfight start to give a good advantage to your team or use this for FINISH HIM,when someone run with low hp.

Early Game
Go bot with any support (Alistar or Soraka work fine with Graves),keep playing on defensive,focus on last hit,if they dont have any support bot,you can harass easy with you Quickdraw and Buckshot.
When you get 2000 G,go back to buying your boots-of-speed and bf-sword ,now you have a good damage,keep harass and farming until you have money for your infinity-edge.
Your next item is the-bloodthirster,go kill some minions/neutral for stack your BT.
Mid Game
The important thing here is to always stay behind the Tanker,always keep in a good position,when a teamfight start, use your dash, use your Q, some auto atk and return with dash, finish with the ultimate,keep the focus on the battle and always try to kill the enemy carry as fast as you can.
Late Game
Here is where you become a real outlaw,you need to stay behind your tanker and always aim for the nearest squishy enemy,with red buff no one will escape and always beware of the enemy CC.

    This guides really good but it would be helpful if you went more detail when soloing because as Graves you will be soloing more then laneing with others. I liked though. Please check out mine and tell me what you think http://www.solomid.net/guides.php?g=8833
