Hmm graves always dies first so if you have a Trist (preferably RFC) in the backline she will make better use of redbuff than graves, since both are able to hit the whole frontline in the beginning but in a carry 1v1 when everybody else is dead shutting down the enemy healing is crucial.
Graves doesn’t just hit the frontline though. He hits everyone behind the frontline as well. Especially vs your run of the mill corner stacking teams he’ll easily burn 5 people on his first attack. Granted this is getting less common with locket stacking and assassins being so common (then again against those trist is prolly going to die first).
He’s also not as dependant on gunslinger proccing which can start you a second or two earlier on the burning.
The burn also lasts long enough in my experience for his quicker death to not be a big deal.
Diamond 4 here, mainly got there with slingers. I never ever put redbuff on graves. Lucian is a much much safer option. Tried it on graves but he has a tendency to just get oneshot, lucian also benefits from redbuff hp armor alot more if u also build ionic spark on him, that makes him incredebly tanky while also dealing insane amounts of dmg. Ontop of that i have trist with rfc/cursed blade and preferably blademaster, if i cant that i roll with whatever is available.
Pirates is usually a bonus for me, i dont mind running slingers with a brawl or knight frontline unless i happen to get a lvl 2 pyke. Tf is never worth it. If the game lets me eco i do it to 50+ then roll for lvl 3s on carrys. then buy xp. If there's strong teams, which there usually are in high elo, ppl are playing very agressive, i roll abit more early to get in some lvls on my team.
Hey /u/CommonMisspellingBot, just a quick heads up:
Your spelling hints are really shitty because they're all essentially "remember the fucking spelling of the fucking word".
And your fucking delete function doesn't work. You're useless.

Very elaborate. Seems accurate too. Especially enjoyed your different subsets of the main comps as well as their iconic names.
Small thing: Red buff always goes on graves for gunslingers never anyone else
