How Graves beats Dynamo

Your game plan as Graves

A necromancer who gets stronger every time something dies near her.

Lane
Farm deaths into Jar of Dead; Essence Theft steals weapon damage and Spirit Resist over long trades.
Mid game
Grasping Hands immobilises and cuts off retreats, so place it behind enemies, not in front.
Late game
Fight where things are dying: Jar of Dead turns deaths into Deadheads.
