Any ideas against Graves?

Hello!

Does anyone have good ideas for each role on how to keep Graves at bay? I tried playing Quinn top earlier today, but eventually bot lane snowballed and all the other lanes were lost because of it. It feels like he has an "invincible" quality because of his resist gains and sheer burst damage. I've tried playing Braum support bottom with a lot of armor and it seems to work.

Anyone have good ideas for each basic type of champion? If there really is no counterplay I might just avoid normal queue altogether until he's nerfed.

Well if you can deal really good damage at longer range then Graves and do it near constantly you should be able to kill him quick even with his True Grit E passive. Mainly due to him having horribly short range auto attacks. When close to him they hit like a truck, when farther away they might just tickle. Though watch out for his Q for its shocking amounts of damage on the detonation of the gunpowder. Maybe Caitlyn could be a really good counter to him due to her MUCH longer range and zone control with her Cupcakes and 90 Caliber Net allowing for instant Head shots on him if he mistakenly steps on one or get hit by her net.

These are just my thoughts though.

Graves is a melee champion, group up and burst him if he tries to do anything, careful not to group up to close in fear of Graves ult but basically he can't perform as an Adc, because it's too easy to kill him. He's an early game champ, expect him to win lane and be ineffective against good team play afterwards.

Don't stand in the gunpowder and don't fight with your back against the wall.
