How to play it

✓

His blind stops autos

His Blinding Dart shuts off your right-clicks: don't rely on attacking, your damage comes from abilities.

✓

Burst, don't auto

Your damage is front-loaded: commit with your Q and R burst instead of trying to trade autos into the blind.

✓

Easier than it looks

This lane is actually not that hard: respect the blind, play around lethality, and it's very manageable.

Never play for autos into Teemo: his blind makes right-clicking a trap, so fight around your abilities.

Graves flexes lethality and crit every game, but the constant is Bloodthirster first for the lifesteal and shield that keep him healthy in lane, then Youmuu's Ghostblade to snowball. Rush an early Cloth Armor or Hexdrinker into heavy AD/AP bursts, and grab Boots of Swiftness when you need to stick to a target.
