    NEW Graves
    • Welcome back, pre-rework Graves! This version from 2011-2015 is a true-to-live bot lane ADC, rewarded for long duration fights and deadly burst damage against short-range enemies. Careful though, his bonus resists take time to stack up, so assassins can still jump you in the jungle.
    • Passive - True Grit
    • While in combat, Graves gains stacking Armor and Magic Resist every second, up to a cap.
    • Q - Buckshot
    • Graves fires out three bullets that damage all enemies in a line. Multiple hits on the same target deal reduced damage.
    • W - Smokescreen
    • Graves launches a smoke grenade that damages, slows, and nearsights enemies in an area.
    • E - Quickdraw
    • Graves dashes a short distance and gains bonus attack speed for several seconds. Basic attacks reduce Quickdraw's cooldown.
    • R - Collateral Damage
    • Graves fires an explosive shell that damages enemies in a line. It explodes on the first enemy champion hit, dealing reduced damage in a cone behind them.
