How to play it

Avoid his W smoke
His W (Smoke Screen) is the thing that makes your life hell: as a ranged carry, never take a fight while you're standing in his smoke cloud.
Fight him early
You win the early 2v2's ~90% of the time: force skirmishes and objectives while you're ahead, before his scaling kicks in.
Catch him without E
He can be punished early when his E has no stacks: that's your cleanest window to commit to a fight.
Never let Graves scale untouched: left to farm freely he turns into an extreme late-game threat that two-hits you.
