Don't use your abilities too much or you'll go OOM very fast. Play with a bursty support like Thresh, Taric, Blitz, or Leona and you can nuke most ADCs with E-Q-Ignite-Auto-R. Push the lane in when you know where the jungler is and make your opponent last hit under tower, Graves excels at shoving in lanes. Call for your jungler to towerdive when you've got your opponents low, because your combined burst will make very quick work of anyone at around half health. Don't be afraid to scrap with other ADC's that lack burst, your passive makes you very hard to 1 v 1, especially when you've build heavy AD items like Bloodthirster or IE. Your ultimate has an incredibly long range with the secondary explosion included, so don't be afraid to blast someone who may have flashed out of sight.

Don't Build Bloodthirster if they have a rather beefy team, get vamp scepter for sustain and turn it into BORK much later, and go IE as your first item. Your quickdraw and the Crit Chance with IE makes for some pretty mad mid-game DPS. Go LW 2nd if you must, especially if they have a brusier who is getting fed, or have an extremely beefy team comp.

When teamfighting, be concious of the positions of the assasins and brusiers who will try to dive you. When they commit to you, quickdraw backwards and throw a smokescreen in their face. With your attack speed buff and your collapsing team, you'll make quick work of anyone jumping on you, and your passive will help you survive the fight.
