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.

Biography
Malcolm Graves is a renowned mercenary, gambler, and thief—a wanted man in every city and empire he has visited. Even though he has an explosive temper, he possesses a sense of criminal honor, often enforced at the business end of his double-barreled shotgun Destiny. In recent years, he has reconciled a troubled partnership with Twisted Fate, and together they have prospered once more in the turmoil of Bilgewater’s criminal underbelly.

Ah, Bilgewater.
Short Story: One Last Shot **
Holed up in an empty bar, bleeding from a dozen wounds and surrounded by armed men who wanted him dead, Malcolm Graves had seen better days. He’d seen worse ones, too, so he wasn’t worried yet. Graves leaned over the smashed bar and helped himself to a bottle, sighing as he read the label.
