Does anybody know how Graves Mid works?

Been wanting to try it, because I have been wanting to find another marksman that can mid, and I would make it a regular pick if it worked out decently.

I tried Graves mid, but I don't think I was able to see it's full potential considering my team just fed like crazy, check the history if you don't believe me, but it worked early game against the talon, maybe cause the Talon was pretty bad though in microing.

Same thing happened with Sivir, had an guy who AFK'd cause he was destroyed by Riven, and my team kind of just fed after that including myself.

Absolutely destroyed as Caitlyn mid for my last ADC Mid game, I also didn't have AFK's and the other lanes did fairly well. So that is always good.

it's not bad at all, you have good wave clear and good damage, and your gank escape isn't terrible with E Ult I suggest building Triforce into Reaver and then an i-Edge and Youmuus, and finishing it off with a Merc Scimi for some extreme damage and CDR you can proc the Q bounce back pretty nicely with the enemy mid tower after you push in the wave, and you can deny some ganks or CS opportunities with your W overall he's pretty fun mid, would highly recommend trying it out with the build

tl;dr: Triforce, Reaver, iEdge, Youmuu, Merc Scim :]

Ty, have my upvote. I just wanted to play it after the Graves "fan boys" died down when he was first released.

It was good before rework with tons of burst with W-E-Q-AA, but I'm not sure how the new Q would work without a reliable wall proc. Basically he works like a melee assassin/bruiser with burst damage. Playstyle doesn't differ much from his ADC playstyle. Lack of support providing CC means that it's harder to engage without a gank, though.

Also, try Sivir mid. Decent burst, spell shield, and okay mobility. She's also good at pushing, which is good for mid laners.

Ty, Sivir sounds fun. I'll try that too, since I now currently have 3 skins for her.

We have seen graves mid like when kalista was released, like a lot of quinn on last patch. When a champ is op there is no reason to not play it on all lanes. Graves isnt at same state as he was right after rework. I guess its still viable but not a strong pick like he once was. The stronger marksman mid would be Varus and Ezreal ( ez isnt a strong pick but definitly stronger than other marksman mid). Maybe Quinn in specific matchups. If Jayce could be in a marksman category he is oretty good too.

I'm not a big fan of Quinn, she's just not my style.

I already play Varus and Jayce, not too much Ezreal considering it gets nerfed everytime.

I have fine enough succes as Ezreal mid. But the more i play this game, the more i value waveclear and push, ezreal horrible wave control made me stop playing it.
