How to play it

✓

Low-kill lane

He can't really kill you: this lane is safe, so just farm it out and take the free gold.

✓

Watch his Fling

Don't get caught by his E Fling: being thrown out of position is his only real play on you.

✓

Early is your window

If you want a kill it has to come before 6: after that he's too slippery to finish.

Never waste time chasing Singed after 6: you can't kill him, so just take the farm.

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.
