oh yeah bud who told you he cant? go item 3508 item 3031 item 3094 item 3072 item 3036 item 3009 since he does use attack speed all that well. It works fine and actually good in low elo

ok but how can i get to my targets since my range is horrible? keep in mind that i'm bronze 5( was silver in preseason so i'm not that bad) s most of the time, not always, my support is horribly bad. like Blitzcrank will never land a hook...

That's what graves E is for...? Try PD if you need more armor on top of your E.

I wouldn't necessarily use E for engage if it can be avoided; it's better utilized in the trade. You're better off playing patiently and letting them come to you. Try to land a W in the direction they're pathing so that you can approach without getting traded on. Then you're free to auto and re-position with E to land instant Q followed by a couple more autos. That full combo trade could completely devastate their lane presence until they B.

Don't be afraid to pop in and trade. You get extra free armor for closing in on them and you should outburst most adc's unless you allow them to kite you. Stand toward the front of your minion line and move to punish them when they come in to last hit.

Yup, Bronze players (like me) have a hard time effectively punishing your lack of range, making graves a really good pick into cc lanes like Thresh, Leona etc

why? are you playing him ap?

or are you asking if he can still play bot? because the answer is yes.

AonraiderFeb 18, 20161 votes

i don't play him ap? where'd you see that?

you asked if hes ok to be played as adc. adc means "attack damage carry". if graves goes into the jungle, hes a jungle adc. if he goes into top lane, hes a solo lane adc. if he goes bot with a support, then hes a duo lane adc.

"adc" doesnt equal "bot"

Alright first off I bet you play ranked constantly. How else did u drop from silver to B5? Honestly do not play both at all unless with a friend bot is terrible at low elo. Play norm work on matchups, builds etc and only play your best champs in ranked. Go look up what kiting is as well.

Personally i think it depends on who the enemy support is. If its a tanky support like Braum, Alistar, Leona, Taric....then graves is just about useless. All they have to do is stand in front of their adc and graves cant hit the adc. But if they have a squishy support like sona, soraka, nami, lulu...then graves can delete whichever one he chooses first then switch to the other.
