Early Game
With this Graves Build he tends to prefer “power farming”, putting more focus on clearing the jungle camps as fast as possible and gaining an experience and gold advantage, getting to his core items earlier and allowing him to take over the game. This style of jungling is especially good against those who have slower clear times and prefer to gank, such as 
Lee Sin or 
Elise.
Graves isn’t as strong as those champions early on, but with an item or two, he becomes much stronger than them and scales much better. That being said, if an opportunity presents itself, getting a kill or two can really speed up that scaling process.
Team Fights
Graves’ job in a team fight is to try and deal as much damage across everyone he can. This means hitting as many enemies as possible with 
End of the Line and 
Collateral Damage when they group up. It’s also a good idea to try and use 
Smoke Screen as a zoning tool, denying an exit route from the enemies, or using it mid-fight to make it harder for the carries to deal damage by obscuring their vision.
Graves Abilities
At the beginning of a match start to skill the ability 
Quickdraw on Graves. As the match progresses, it is best to maximise End of the Line into Quickdraw and at last Smoke Screen. End of the Line is a very strong ability of Graves in order to build up a lead and dominate your opponents. The passive is called 
New Destiny and there is no need to set it manually on a Graves Build.
Graves' shotgun has some unique properties. He must reload when he runs out of ammo. Attacks fire 4 bullets, which cannot pass through units. Non-champions struck by multiple bullets are knocked back.
