So i feel like that Graves is a strong pick even tho he can't do much vs tanks but i still love to play him. He is my main ADC at this point and i have ben playing him for 1-5 months? The build i go is: item 3031, item 3046, item 3006, item 3072, item 3035 then item 3102, item 3026 or item 3139 depending on what i need. If the other team has ALLOT of tank then i go with LW before BT. If you guys could let me know any tips for graves that would be AWESOME.

I have a friend who also plays Graves. He often builds Youmuu's Ghostblade, though I am unsure of what order he builds the item. But with his bursty play style it makes sense to have that item.

Edit: I just looked it up. It seems like he rushes IE then usually gets youmuu's ghost blade after berzerker greaves but before his lifesteal item. It also seems like he diversifies which lifesteal item he builds each game too. Between BT and BotRK it seems like BT is the one he builds more often. Statik Shiv also comes up a bunch in his match history too. Most of his games are over by this point but I have seen some QSS show up in his match histories.

I agree with the item 3031 item 3006 item 3142. At that point you just need to itemize based on the enemy team. If you need a item 3140 get a item 2140 for your sustain. After that I would just get a item 3026. Everyone I know plays him a little different.

The real trick is abusing his early game advantage. Graves is one of the tankiest ADCs allowing him to pair up with someone like Leona or Thresh to secure an early kill to help rush that item 3031.
