Here's the trick to fighting graves.
Don't run.
Think of him like Xin Zhao. One he dashes in on you, and does Q+W, he can't get out of there.
So many times people just run away and I simply pick them off with R.
Does it sound rigged? It kinda is, but it needs to be because Graves is still a squishy ranged AD outside of his passive armor buff. I've seen Akalis and Jax's run away from me, which you don't need to do.
Another thing about fighting him, turning around after his burst is the worst thing you can do.
He's a ranged dps. He WANTS you to run away so he can hit you a couple times with his AS steroid and do ANOTHER dash so he can chase or back off.

aiyaiai no -___-. Most people will have gotten phil first. Ok look, check this out. Philo Stone. Kindlegem. Then you need to pay MORE money to get Shurelias. Get it? You can get both without immediately turning it into a Shurelia's. You know? Like how a lot of people get warden and HoG without paying for Randuins.
How is this so hard to understand

How do you know if the IP boost is active on your account? How does it work? Is it just a flat bonus, or a percentage bonus?
Also I never knew until like yesterday that the purple (top) team on summoner's rift is apparently the higher-ranked team. That would explain why I play on the blue team like...98% of the time. Fortunately I like the blue side better. The one time I remember playing purple in the last few weeks, we lost.

Usually, I wouldn't share stories of my games... but this one I felt that I had to make an exception.
See that Xerath? He was mid against me.
He was so annoying and kept trying to kill me. He would keep my health low with his stupid thunder strikes. Then he would stun and barrage me.
Luckily I always kept Quickdraw handy, so I dodged his most important spells. Then he would flash, and I would turn it around and unleash my attakcs on him. Thanks to Grit, I would have the upper hand afterwords. He would run, and I would then flash after him and kill him.
This kept happening, until I killed him 3 times. Then I had enough for Wit's End. The 4th time, he was a joke.
My fifth kill was against Graves. He almost killed me, but I ran away, my team jumped him and I got him with a smoke bomb.
This was probably the most intensive I've had to play in a long time to keep myself alive.
In the end, I felt bad for Xerath. Because I get the feeling that he was trying really, REALLY hard to kill me, but always failed. (Checked his profile, seems like Xerath was one of his mains.)

100% bonus to games, doesn't include first win of the day. Don't play Dominion with it if you want to maximize the results of it.Blizzard said:
Purple team gets higher ELO players because they have a vision disadvantage. This is especially noticeable at bottom lane.
xerath is real great
you kind of have to build against him to beat him imo
even then, I can instill fear in people who think they can rush me down with xerath's incredible dmg and stun...so they leave me alone for the rest of the game haha. His passive is so great that the only real tank item you need is an ap item. And late game I end up with 3000+ health if I've taken rylai's and nearly 100 in each resist and crazy damage.
I've used up 4 of my IP boost wins, but 3 of them have been 20 min. surrenders -____- my fiiiiiiiiggght money

Yeah, I definitely don't have the icon.
I also just had a 91-minute loss, and I think we had like 20-30 more kills than the other team at one point. By the end we had maybe 10 more kills. I think I had 17 stacks on sword of the occult with riven before the teams stopped ever encountering each other.
I know it was probably mostly my fault (like 12/4/11 with riven, but that's not great for a 90 minute game), but it was so FRUSTRATING. Like, we wasted baron three different times, just got it and sat around. We spent like three minutes begging nasus to stay with us and help us push, trying to guess what language he spoke, asking brazil, japanese etc., and then finally he was like yeah I speak english duh.
That was like the only thing he said ALL GAME LONG.
Shaco did well in the end, but shaco and teemo kept being off to the sides...anyway, I'm probably just blaming other people for my problems. I tried to basically sacrifice near the end to kill the superpowered graves, and it looked like an AD carry next to me focused 6000 HP mundo instead of graves. Accident? Who knows.

GG's to all the Gafers I played with for the first time last night.
Highlights included a 9-0 Sona, 22-2 Shaco, and 14-4 Xerath on Dominion.
Good times were had by all.

Great game. GAF went 3-0 in games for once! They got progressively harder too.
Has to do with screen orientation. On a widescreen monitor you can see everything in bottom lane as blue where it curves at the tower. On purple when you're at your tower your vision is extremely limited looking down because the screen cuts off. Minimizing the size of the UI and taking out the bars helps, but purple still is going to have a tougher time in that spot.Dooraven said:

graves is op as fuck, need a huge fuckin nerf next patch
a ranged dps, burst like talon, lots of sustain, and very hard to chase him down.
