Even if Graves was level 18 when he had these two items (he wasn't), the scenario you are describing is impossible.

Warrior is 60 AD, as is youmuu's. If he were level 18 this would give him 222 AD.

To do 500 unmitigated damage with an auto attack, Graves would need to be level 18, hit all four bullets on an enemy champion, and have about 251 AD.

At level 18 he would have about 30 flat armour pen with his first two completed items. Let's assume you were like level 12. You would have 53.6 base armour, with runes 62.6. A theoretical youmuu's and warrior level 18 Graves with his 222 AD and his 30 armour pen would do about 331.335 damage, since his pen would bring your armour down to about 32.6.

Now, this is all bullshit of course. The Graves was obviously not close to level 18, which means his AD was lower, his armour penetration was lower, and the AD ratio on his auto attacks was lower. So in actuality he did a good deal less than 331.335 damage per auto to you specifically. I'm too lazy to calculate the Assassin, Double Edged Sword, and potentially oppressor modifiers, but frankly they don't matter. He's not dealing near five hundred damage per auto to you with two items.

So like, why are you lying?

Oh, and what is that AD garbage on your rune page as Master Yi? Run attack speed marks and quints.

This isn't possible friend, and I have already outlined why. Even if he was level 18 it would not be possible.

Stop lying.

Son, I'm going to be very blunt with you.

You are wrong, and you're embarrassing yourself and making yourself look incredibly childish by trying to feebly deny it.

I mathed out exactly how much damage a max level Graves with those items, his masteries, and his runes would do. I also just mathed out how much AD he'd have to have to do 500 damage after your armour is taken into account. He'd need 335 AD. He obviously did not have that much AD pre-level 18 with a youmuu's and the warrior enchant for his AD items. Hell, he didn't even have AD in his runes.

You are wrong, and you can either choose to be a man, suck it up, and admit that you're exaggerating, or you can continue to whine and try to attack my character (or the level of this smurf account, lol) because deep down you know you have NO ARGUMENT to counter what I've said. Because there is no argument to be had. You are wrong. The math proves it.

I'm sorry if this upsets you.

Downvote my post in your childish anger all you want friend, the calculations are easy to find and easy to plug into a calculator.

32.6 armour is approximately 25% damage reduction.

Graves at level 18 with those two items does 441.78 damage pre-mitigation. Multiply this by 0.75 and you get 331.335.

My math is correct, therefore you are wrong. Do you think your silly anecdotal evidence has validity?

Also, don't you mean "you're"? As in, the contraction of you are?

I am not a troll, and your claim has been casually debunked by an intellect many times greater than yours friend.

Truthfully, Graves isn't so bad as you might think, as he's normally easy to counter with high range poke, but you just had a poor match up. For instance, check out your team comp versus theirs.

low cc, low mobility outside of the adc, good poke on mid/support, but your adc is out ranged bot. You also have only one tanky champion in Malphite as you didn't build any truly defensive items (item 3742 actually could have done wonders for you). Teamfight wise you're at a large disadvantage because you have no way to retreat from a poor fight, but because your opponents also probably snowballed and got a lead most of the time, you couldn't set up any ambushes in order to get an ace and stabilize.

I'll bet that you personally also died a lot to being hard cc'd during your ult, as you can still be stunned during that, so a better item choice you could have made was item 3139 as opposed to item 3156 . That item 3812 that I presume you were trying to build also isn't quite so good on you if you don't already have some health to spare, so a better option could have been just getting item 3072, or set up for Death's Dance with item 3022 .

Lastly, having the fervor of battle keystone may not be bad on yi, but to go raw ad as well is simply poor planning. Your passive may give you a sort of attack speed buff, but it is having high attack speed already that really make the ability be so deadly in tandem with that Keystone. Think in comparison to Yasuo or Fiora. Those are the sword users that kill with a few deadly strokes. Master Yi is the type to kill with a hundred strikes in the blink of an eye. Seriously, just listen to Master Yi fight and you can tell. He doesn't usually kill in 2 or 3 hits unless he's built critical strike chance.

The trickiest thing to advancing in League is learning each and every one of these little things about your champion of choice, in tandem with every other champion you happen to be placed with or against. And to be able to do so in the span of just a few precious minutes.

Thats impossible, no champion in the game could theoretically achieve that without a crit or boost via ability

this isn't even accounting the fact that armour scales with level so the damage probably would be less then 300

he could've done this in a single rotation of bullets but no less

It would actually be closer to 40 flat armour pen, I forgot that youmuu's gives 20. Still won't do 500 damage, but whatever.

Dude I tried graves jungle again earlier today and he feels weak as hell. Stop lying. Graves isn't even viable anymore. I was getting one shot by both hecarim and yasuo. Couldn't 1v1 anyone because as soon as they jumped on me I died.

He was playing Master Yi, who does in fact stomp Graves 1v1 from around mid-game and onward if the Graves doesn't have a substantial lead in items/levels.

I don't understand why his autoattack fires 3 shots in a cone. That to me is ridiculous in the first place. Regardless,there is already a temporary fix to deal with graves. Simply pick nunu and snowball him constantly. His dps drops.

as someone else mentioned your scenerio is not possible. Graves already got nothing but nerfs ever since his rework, his Q does medicore damage, his E is getting nerfed (probably) on the PBE, his ult falls off late game, his basic attack scaling was nerfed, you're beating a dead horse because that dead horse is beating you, he isnt top jungler, or top top laner anymore, his medicore at everything except up close burst. If you're a bruiser how about you dont try to 1v1 him unless he's behind? like how you dont 1v1 kha zix alone, or vayne?

As I said before, Master Yi dunks on Graves in a 1v1 mid game and onward if Graves doesn't have a substantial gold lead.

This Graves did. So the lesson here is don't try to 1v1 bruisers who have substantial gold leads.
