Not a threat at all, her passive healing is not enough for your W. Easy matchup, she can't kill you. Just try to avoid her charm with E to win trades and you will be alright.
Akali
She can go full sustain with fleet + d shield + second wind, etc but your poke is still strong. Max Q is not a thing since she can easily avoid the damage with her infinite dashes. Go Comet and Max W. but rush your AD asap so you can fight her level 6 all-in. Akali have one of the worse base armors in the game.
Akshan
He can go fleet and be annoying, but if you play wisely you'll be stronger than him. Akshan's job is similar to you, be annoying and snowball the game. Your burst is stronger than his, so poke him down and rush your AD.
Anivia
Her passive is very annoying and later on she can be a rock in the sock. But she still have zero escapes and it's squishy. She can run Rod of Ages and Seraph's, so make sure to have Crit and IE to kill her asap whe you have the chance later on.
Annie
She is easy beat in lane, her level 6 is very strong, make sure to rush hexdrinker and even Maw first if you feel the need. If she's playing agreessively, use your W to stop her trades, she'll not all-in you if you're full HP. Dark Seal + Refilable start is good here. If she don't snowball the game is yours when you have full Malmortius.
Aurelion Sol
Cringe champion, you can barely hit you AAs you Qs but he can't do anything to avoid your poke, so the full poke graves with dark seal, d. ring and early scout's slingshot is a good option here. You can even go CDR boots in lane to maximize your poke threat. Call for ganks and don't let him scale.
Aurora
Cringe champion, lots of damage with basically zero effort. Her cooldowns are shit, so start D Blade and rush your AD items to punish her interactions. post level 8/9 her cooldown will be lower so play wisely and go Shieldbow third or fourth,
Azir
He's annoying and run Fleet, but with good poke tools you can have him very low in lane, forcing him to base and deny CS. Try to use your tempo to impact the map while he's farming under turret.
Brand
Annoying poke but you can play his game too. He have zero sustain but he can rush Rylai's and have good HP. Make sure to harass him with all of your poke tools and call for ganks, as he have zero escape.
Cassiopeia
Scaling mages are good matchups, she can outscale you but if you win lane, it'll be very hard for her to be useful in time. Don't get stunned by her ult and avoid long fights. Just trade with your W and back off until she's low enough for a all-in. You can for ganks as well, play with your jungler whoever is strong in your team and snowball quickly.
Corki
Boring to play against, His all-in is better but his sustain is not that good with all fleet and absorb life nerfs, so you can abuse that to poke him down until he is all-innable. He's hard to gank but easily baitable to waste his escapes.
Ekko
Assassins are tricky but he can't do much against your poke. Go comet, max W, and rush your AD Items, you can even go Opportunity + Berserker's to crush him in lane and make him useless.
Ezreal
He can't do anything, Max W and comet, rush your AD items. If E your W, that's your chance to just dash in and trade your damage. If you kill him once, the lane is over.
Fizz
Hexdrinker rush, standard poke with all AD you can buy to fight his all-ins. If he use his E to avoid your W, make sure to retaliate.
Galio
Boring lane, he'll probably just perma push and roam, his shield will most likely absord most of your W. You can run standard Fleet max Q graves and counter roam him in the map.
Gragas
He have tons of life sustain, once he gets Catalyst of Aeons or Lost Chapter he will became strong a hell. Very hard matchup, I won't reccommend ban cuz is rare to see, but basically a free loss. If you care about your LP, just dodge.
Graves
playing quickplay? lol
Heimerdinger
Boring champion, just poke him down and clear waves, once you get statikk, his game is basically over, Heimer is useless. You can start snowball for free on the map.
Hwei
Not bad but no the best matchup, I only put "even" because no matter what happens, he'll be annoying later on. But in lane he is a minor threat. Poke him down, and do your best to snowball him.
Irelia
Lots of sustain but braindead one-trick champion, go Fleet, Max Q, Plated Steelcaps with full crit. Essence Reaver - Berserker's - Mortal Reminder - Infinity Edge. Avoid her E stun with your E and crush her mid to late game with your damage. Remember, getting melee against a fed graves is a death sentence.
Katarina
Max W and perma push waves, once she dashes in, retaliate and W her face. Hexdrinker rush then Opportunity and plated steelcaps. Play wisely and be careful with her daggers.
LeBlanc
She can't deal with your poke but her damage is unfair. You can check her reflexes, if she's dodging your Ws with her W you have zero chance, rush hexdrinker and Mercs, then Full Crit. If you survive her burst, there's nothing she can do. Get full Maw when necessary.
Lissandra
A less worse LeBlanc, Rush Maw and Mercs, if you survive her burst, she's dead. Make sure to ignite her before she ults herself. Buy QSS if you're the main focus later on.
Lux
Poke against Poke, but she can't dash your W. Her W shield is useless, as she will only be able to shield the comet in most of the cases. She have zero sustain and statikk will just win every wave clear she have. forcing her to ult to push everytime basically. She's a free kill later on unless she gets zhonya's.
Malphite
Just go fleet, absorb life, biscuits and D shield. There's nothing you can do to kill him, if he's AP, just go hexdrinker with lifesteal, if he's is tank, go full crit with berserker's.
Malzahar
His black shield is good against you, rush mercs and Maw, then full crit.
Nasus
Just dodge or swap lanes, there's simply nothing you can do against him. Even after his E nerfs, he's still annoying as hell. Infinite sustain, poke and outscaling. Graves kit can't deal with nasus.
Neeko
She have zero sustain, her CC is annoying so just go mercs and statikk rush and she's done. Be careful to her gimmicks and it's a free win.
Orianna
Zero interaction scaling mages with zero sustain are Graves breakfast. Go standard poke graves with standard build. if she scales and get strong, maw of malmortius will do the job, with you get melee and hit some crits she's dead.
Pantheon
He don't have lots of sustain. Go plated steelcaps with standard build. Don't let him jump on you, if he do, retaliate with your W and try to use you E to hit him from behind his E barrier.
Qiyana
Zero sustain but unfair damage. Don't get close to walls and poke her down, it's almost impossible to kill her in lane, rush damage and shieldbow second item will do job. plated steelcaps are useless here so you can go swifties or ionian boots.
Rumble
He's hard to kill and can punish you if you use your E wrong. His W is not enough to avoid your W, and if use it wrong he'll risk getting overheated, if he overheats you can use this window to retaliate him.
Ryze
He can't do anything, he can go Catalyst of Aeons and bare your poke more, but Ryze is a low range mage, so if you get close to him with crit items, just burst him down. If he scales will need Maw and BT.
Sylas
Braindead statcheck champion. You can go full crit with berserker's and Max W. Avoid his E, if her waste it, retaliate. Avoid buying Collector! Go Essence - Berserker's - Mortal Reminder - Shieldbow - Infinity Edge. this will do the job against him
Syndra
She have tons of damage and poke. Rush Mercs and hexdrinker, then go statikk and crit.
Taliyah
Rush mercs, and go Full poke with scout's slingshot rush and dark seal start. If she can't snowball, she's useless. Make sure to not dash in her E, avoid her W and it'ss GG.
Talon
Plated Steelcaps is useless, he'll just burst you for free. Max W, Opportunity and shieldbow is good against him. Swifties can help you dodge his W and kite him. Not impossible but hard to counter.
Tristana
She have good burst and dps, you only have burst. Play wisely and bait her in order to survive lane, is not impossible to win. Rush Tabis and statikk to counter her broken clear wave. Then full crit and late game you'll just crush her.
Twisted Fate
Nothing he can do against your poke, rush mercs and statikk. Then crit and a QSS.
Lucian
He's boring to play against but is squishy, play wisely and avoid his trades with your E. When he's low enough, wait for him to spend his E or call for a gank in order to all-in.
Veigar
He's annoying and will just perma scale for free, he can't bare your poke but if the game passes 30 minutes he'll just take over and it'ss gg.
Vel'Koz
Swifties and Statikk, then standard build.
Vex
Rush mercs with maw, then collector into full crit. Her shield is annoying so bait your teammates in order to punish her engage, since her ult AOE fears everyone around.
Viktor
Not a big threat, but zero interaction lane with annoying kit. Full poke setup and standard build. You can swap shieldbow for Maw if you feel necessary.
Vladimir
You can't do anything to kill and he'll just perma outscale you, dodge or call your jungler and support to perma camp him or it's GG.
Xerath
Boring champions to play against but zero escape and squishy. Avoid his E stun with your E and just crush him. Statikk to counter his perma pushing and mercs in case you got stunned. full poke setup with standard build.
Yasuo
Annoying but braindead, so you can bait him down to death. Rush plated and full crit. Play with team and punish his ult. freeze and call for ganks, if he tries to end your freeze, retaliate without hurting the freeze.
Yone
more braindead and autoplay compared to yasuo, but no windwall, so go plated and standard build. You can skip collector if you feel necessary and go mortal reminder with infinity edge and shieldbow. bait your teammates and burst him after he spends his cooldowns.
Zed
waste his pots with your W and run doran's shield. plated steelcaps will do nothing, you can go berserker's and shieldbow, then full crit. bait your teammates and try to get him without shadow.
Ziggs
There is nothing he can do to avoid your poke, once you get statikk you can counter his pushes, I like to go teleport against him to protect turrets, but that's optional. bt third after a crit a item is good to bare his poke.
Zilean
His lane is ass but his ultimate is broken against you, so it's a even. full poke setup and standard build.
Zoe
He burst is annoying, but she can't bare your poke. Merc rush and hexdrinker, then standard build. Swap collector for Shieldbow and you will be alright.
Zyra
Free lane, when you get statikk you can poke her killing her plants with the electroshock passive everytime, even in the jungle. Full poke setup and standard build.
Bel'Veth
She takes time to scale, so you can chosse to play with her and guarantee the early game, later just play with her in pick offs and win objectives.
Brand
If he is good it's a good mix of AP and AD, but not ideal. His ganks aren't good but his poke is very strong in late game for setup you to burst enemies.
Briar
I only played with a Briar once, it was fine. She can play agreessively and start pick offs with her ult, so make sure to play around her side of the map. It's a ok jungler.
Diana
Very strong, AP burst champions are good, especially Diana with her Ult, it can help land all of your damage, if you snowball the early game, just go full damage and win.
Ekko
He can't help you a lot, his ganks are meh. He can carry games but graves can't help or get helped either. Not that good at all but not terrible.
Elise
Agreesive playstyle but both are early game burst champions. If you snowball it's good, but if the game turns even it's over.
Evelynn
Weak early level, but after level 6 you have to make sure she's strong later on, her snowball is absurd, play in her side of the map and pay attention to her pick offs.
Fiddlesticks

Ivern
Not that strong, but ok. He can save you with shields and his bushes are good to create fog. But if you falls behind, there's nothing he can do.
Jarvan IV

Karthus
Karthus itself is strong, you can help him out early on and make sure he scales, you are the protagonist in the early game, in the mid both are strong and late game is karthus turn to carry.
