GravesCounter for Jungle

Patch 15.1

Despite his burst, Graves really shines in extended fights where he can build up passive True Grit stacks and tank your team's damage by healing through his auto attacks. Counter Graves by bursting him early in the fight.

Executioner's Calling is a fantastic Graves counter. This is especially true if Graves builds towards Death's Dance or other lifesteal items. The completed Mortal Reminder is also great against Graves' passive.

Graves clears extremely fast. Make sure he does not get both scuttle crabs. If you can duel him, make sure to contest the first scuttle. If you can't duel him, try to start on the opposite side of the jungle and trade scuttle crabs.

Graves clears extremely fast. Try to clear your wraiths in the first pass through your jungle to counter Graves' ability to counter jungle you and set you behind.

Graves' auto attacks do not go through minions or other champions. If you keep a minion between you and Graves you can counter Graves' damage.

Graves is countered by pink wards. It takes Graves forever to Auto Attack 4 times, especially early game. Spotting out Graves in this way makes it easy to track his movement, and delays his jungle clear.
