How to play it

✓

Can't catch her

Her bonus movement speed makes her nearly unkillable: she kites out of every fight before you can finish her.

✓

Rylai's ends it

If she finishes Rylai's you can't play the matchup: the slow stacked on her speed makes her untouchable.

✓

TP and Bloodthirster

Take TP over Ignite and build Bloodthirster to survive her sustained poke and stay in the fight.

Never count on killing her once she has Rylai's: her speed and slow make her unkillable.

Graves flexes lethality and crit every game, but the constant is Bloodthirster first for the lifesteal and shield that keep him healthy in lane, then Youmuu's Ghostblade to snowball. Rush an early Cloth Armor or Hexdrinker into heavy AD/AP bursts, and grab Boots of Swiftness when you need to stick to a target.
