Tips Against Graves in the Jungle Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
Daawwnn says “a good graves will take your camps do the same and take his if you know where he starts try mirroring his path so that he cant invade you as easily you win the 1v1 earlygame if you keep ur W until he dashes”
0
kcjackal__ says “Champ is turbo broken ask your team to ban him in select. Really high pickrate in higher elo's so ban or 50/50 if you can win.”
0
Kazuo Murasaki says “Don't stand close to walls. Pay attention to his Grit stacks and don't fight him when they are high. When he W's you stay calm and simply walk towards him holding your Q till you know where he is. R him away if he is Fed and can One shot you. Graves loves to Invade so prepare to scrap over small camps often.”
0
veipz says “So this matchup is graves favored and he can do what he want he can invade he can gank he got river control nearly all game. sometimes you can beat him when u have stacks and he dont.
If you have Q stacks u can go on him u win, otherwise he wins. He has stacks and you cant look for dragon herald fight when he is on it cuz he wins 8 stack graves is like horror game.
i want to give a example here, imagine u are playing blue side and he is red side both junglers did full clear and u want to fight for bot crab. This mafia boss type guy will eat you there he has 8 stacks and u dont have stacks this is TERRIBLE FIGHT...
Track him all game. (IMPORTANT)
If you are playing against graves u can read kindred %90 similar champs just scroll down and read invade strategy”

loganrichards says “Graves favored because of his range, but you skirmish well and self peel with E.
Play a good early game and you snowball out of control”

Pullks says “Graves is hard to kill, especially mid late game. Use your chance early on to get ahead and keep the lead if you can !”
0
Destruuu says “He will invade you but it's easy to for you to kite him and you can even burst Graves in early levels.”
0
aS1lenT says “Always ban him. He will kite you around and outsustain you after he finishes his Death's Dance combined with red smite. If graves goes Phase rush the only way to fight him is getting the Phase rush on cooldown or have your laners CC him so he can not escape. If you meet him 1v1 the only way you kill him is if you get the first combo in from an unwarded area. I don't think this matchup is playable though as he 9/10x outperforms you later on in the game while being unkillabe.

garbocan says “Graves counters Ivern on many levels.
His basic attacks knock Daisy back and apply a bit of hitstun, which makes controlling her near impossible. This is made worse by the fact that pet controls bug out often during displacement, which makes you have to know weird input tech to regain control of her.
He's an aggressive invade jungler who can punish Ivern's early clear, especially with things like late invades/vertical jungle.
He's also difficult to countergank, since he doesn't hard commit at the start of a gank like many other junglers do.
Ward the baron pit on blue team and dragon pit on red team level 1. This will prevent Graves from Eing over the wall after taking Red to steal your grove camps.”
1
PrestigeGalaxy says “His W can be quite annoying when trying to auto attack him. He can also kite you pretty well with his E. Once he gets level 6 he has a lot of burst.”
0
Valkidol says “A champ with little to no cc and weak mobility? Sign me up. You oneshot him all game long.”
0
OakIgu says “Just like Lee Sin be very carefull with a early invade because that will punish you to the point the game will become 100% more hard, he is not hard to catch but can jump walls and also have tons of damage I just recomend you to play with your team or will be getting picked off very easily.”
0
el_kap says “never stand in his face always kite and you should be fine ”
0
DixonTheGuideMaker says “Staying behind minions or jungle monsters can block his auto attacks. Don’t stay close to walls since it makes him to use his Q against you quicker. Don’t fight him alone unless when he has low HP or your champion is well fed.”
0
Akotanya says “He can kite you and he gain too much Armor with his E you can't win in 1v1. He can outscale you if you can't invade him. You need your teammate to invade him.”
0
SYROBE says “If you are jungling vs an Enemy Graves, he will naturally have an Advantage. His armor stacking Grit + his extra little mobility makes him hard to fight or kill. Briar will also be taking every single shotgun pellet to her mouth due to her self taunt on a graves giving him more damage.”
0
sauda says “you are prone to invades best bet is to give your buff or vertical if possible with lane priority ”
0
Atlascrower says “You clear faster as he does, but he has the ranged advantage and can aggro you early, although he isnt the strongest.”
0
Zero macro says “Briar has an even time into graves, Briar can withstand Graves invades and early skirmishes. However, Briar can suffer from low amount of Movement Speed and gap closer early on + graves can kite Briar decently well still, while maintaining a good stat check.
Overall Briar has a slightly slower jungle clear and tempo than Graves, but a way stronger stat check without getting kited.
”
0
Coccaa says “Pretty much at all levels you can beat him. I'd say maybe like level 3 or 4 he's a bit stronger because he can fully stack his E and he gets a lot of AD per level, but even then you may still win it depends on items. If you both have nothing but your jungle item you will most likely win. You can also save your E for after he E's.”
0
borkedeuw says “Playing a good graves will make the game a living hell for you. Graves usually attempts to invade you after he hits level 3 when he's a lot stronger than viego.”
0
DracoChimera says “This guy is just a very big problem, he will one-shot you. Just a matter of time, look to end early.”

SparklingFlow says “Graves Ability To lvl 2 invade is very very strong against hecarim as hecarim is weaker than graves lvl 1-3 ward the side you are starting to evade this invade ”
0
Pyrobot says “Graves is a pain. Similar to Kayn matchup, where if he's smart he can just one shot all of your dogs and then you. Gonna be tough to duel him if you're not fed, though if you get ahead of him he shouldn't be a problem.”
0
EagleXs says “Your pack can tank his shots for you. If you cast W as he throws smoke, your W will home in on him, wasting and countering his smoke.
Obviously, if you're not careful, he can delete you, especially if you don't have your pack to defend you, but generally you should be able to fight him.”
0
TheBougis says “Graves has a lot of damage in his kit and has high outplay potential, try to poke him down and don't visibly engage into him when he is full health (if you can W him from outside his vision it can be good, but again, not when he has full health). ”
0
Turnupthetoaster says “He can stack a lot of Armor using his E, can kite you, and his W completely cucks your passive. Until you get cleaver, you won't be doing much damage to him whatsoever, and even if you do have it you won't really be able to fight him without help. Not to mention he can invade, counter-jungle, out-farm, and out-gank you. Truly one of Rengar's worst matchups.”
0
theloaf says “If he dashes onto you, Q him, then walk behind him so that his Q doesn't hit you on the way back. Respond to his W with an E to keep him nearby. ”

Galebushi says “u cant 1v1 him early try to catch him with ur ult when he doesnt have stacks and u have ”

Zero macro says “Graves is strong early/mid/late game, thereby he stacks Armor and has stronger auto hits due to how close his enemies are. Nidalee performs well into armor enemies, and she has a strong early/mid game. Thereby she can maintain range and solid damage from a distance before she gives her lethal blow.”
0
Zero macro says “Graves clearspeed is stronger than Shen, but Shen is way stronger than Graves in skirmishes and 1v1's early on.”
0
Zero macro says “Graves is one of the short cooldown dash junglers that has good early strength combined with invades. Graves also gains armor from his E Grit. Thereby Zed should be careful for invades that will deny him from powerfarming the jungle. Later on Shred Zed will have an easy time into Graves, when even or ahead.”
0
Samikin says “Minor-Threat.
Graves is a very short-ranged character. You out-range and poke him whenever he tries to go for the wave. His AA's will barely deal any damage to you unless he E's into you, in which case you can sleep him, run away, and hit him with Q once you're out of his range.
Matchup gets a bit harder after Graves gets Ravenous Hydra, so try to establish a lead before that.
Recommendation:
Aery (+ Relentless Hunter) rune page
Standard Electrocute Rune Page OR Liandry's Anguish + Cosmic Drive”
0
Scratchyerik says “Graves is just damage. You can get away with Phase Rush but don't fight him post Cleaver. If he blunders E you can get a free E+Q. If he holds it like a human you have to initiate with melee R.”
0
Karhuslol says “Although he does have a lot of armor stacking, Graves is a strong dualist and it can be hard to hit Q's on Graves. He can also one shot you if he's very fed. ”
0
metalhydra273 says “Might be a hot take, but I really don't care for Graves that much when facing him. Sure, a fed Graves is hard to kill, but he has no naturally defenses or good escape if you can lock him down. He'll have a hard time getting much done if you target him when you're not losing, and you're capable of running him down and winning 1v1s if you dodge the q burst damage. His w is a problem, rendering you helpless with a slow that is surprisingly strong. If he gets ahead early he'll make life hard, but if you play smart he's not actually too bad to play against. Otherwise you'll have to find windows to take him down if he positions poorly. It's a skill matchup where I feel like the Graves player is pressured to get ahead more than you are.”
0
BigodeOfLegends says “Graves é outro caso a parte, possui muito dano contra Rell, boa mobilidade e com sua Smoke é fácil de escapar ou caitar ela.”
0
NegativePhoenix says “He can beat you early game so no point in that engage without a teammates help. Late game he is a monster if he's fed up enough to do it in any way. If you can burst him down with full AP since he doesn't get MR off his E, you'll win most fights otherwise those are his wins. As a Hybrid you have better shots but I'd recommend having a teammate for these engages. Full Tank Rell needs to body block his shots and keep him CCed since his autos hit whatever is closest”
0
MrFerrot says “My personal permaban. Strong early, invades, always wins the 1v1s, has better ganks, scales like a monster. It's also difficult to one-shot him.”
0
Ezikko says “If youre very behind and he is leading it might get hard with all the free armor he has and the incredible amount of damage, but aside from that you just solo kill him free.”
0
Apari1010 says “This matchup is more playable for Shadow Assassin but for Rhaast he can dodge your W with his E. On top of that he can stack armor, kite you and he beats the shit out of you early. I recommend doing a reverse full clear (Red - Blue - Gromp - Wolves - Raptors - Krugs). It'll add a few seconds to your clear but it makes sure you get everything and don't die. Your best bet is to hit your W on him when someone else hard CCs him.”
0
shacolovesyou says “can poke and kite us so hard, has burst damage and even can use his W or dash agressively or to escape, also has armor in his abilities so this is a big problem”
0
Sh4dow44 says “Counters u by default, his e allows him to counter any ad jg in the game, also can invade u really easily”
0
BradJr says “Your E completely shuts him down. Get close to him and full combo. The only issue is that he can get fed easily and kill your team on repeat. (clone rating 4/10)”
0
VrNtv says “Pretty big skill matchup. He can invade you early, but isn't too strong. If you get a lead then you can bully him out of the game.”
0
FaeBytez says “Graves can deal a lot of damage quickly, but he lacks crowd control and mobility. Diana can outmaneuver him and take him down with ease.”
0
ttvRegedice says “Graves isn't difficult early (BE CAREFUL OF HIS INVADES, WARD YOUR OPPOSITE BUFF OR STARTING BUFF ENTRANCE). However, he can snowball early mishaps on your part very hard as he can go dmg items but still have a lot of armor with the grit passive of his E. Also he can negate jumps by tossing the most OP basic ability in the game, smokescreen, into bushes. Also, he's risky to invade as he can stack his grit while clearing (+ if he's taking fleet he'll remain full hp) so you'll end up fighting him when he has 100 armor lvl 3 or something crazy like that lol. Aim for counter ganks and generally trying to catch him off guard. Get yourself ahead through lanes and build LDR 3rd item. You cant build against DD + Frozen heart so just hope he doesn't stack that much.”
0
Borinn says “He is very strong, can kite you and has a lot of armor early with his e skill. Try to go cross map against him and gank as much as possible.
You can go either AD or tank.”
0
Virizion says “After his most recent buffs to crit scaling this menace is back from the grave(s). Farms very fast and if he gets a few kills this matchup quickly becomes unplayable. even fighting him early is bad as his Passive gives him enough armor to tank your damage and dashes away if he does end up coming out on the losing side of the 1v1”
0
xRengarMaster69 says “The better wins, I faced really good graves and it's hard if he plays ignite and tabis/DD/eclipse. ”

proxarius says “If you avoid his invade pre-6 and find him later in the game, he is like a ranged minion. He can get his lanes fed earlier though.”

h0ladios says “Care with his invades, pyke is very week on early and he will be vulnerable to invades.
Graves can kill you easily on early.”
0
RanDomGuY060 says “No problem, don't get oneshot and oneshot him first and no problem. He has dash too so stun him with your E before you Ult.”
0
Intropingman says “He has not typical aa, but is ad and you reduce his healing from items that he builds, if not fed you beat him. You can't 1vs1 him if he build black cleaver + magic resist.”
0
Majd1 says “Super free matchup, every time you land spear on him you will one shot him. Match up can become slightly annoying if he gets Maw of Malmortius in the earlier stages of the game, so be aware of his items and play around his items. Usually matchup is very easy and snowbally for Nidalee.”
0
ARealFakeIdentity says “Your tankiness completely counters Graves, even early game he will never be able to easily 1v1 you. The only issue may be with mobility, as Graves players may try to invade against you Hexflash may be needed to try and stop these invades, as well as well placed defensive wards.”
0
Dabgren says “You want to R Graves before you Q him in many sequences cause in many cases he will / can just E / R away from your q, denying your biggest damage output, you win this matchup early on but get easily outscaled.”

Smudey says “Ranged matchup. Try to block his autos with your W and stay away from walls when he has his Q up. His W can be very annoying, but if you notice him using his abilities recklessly, you can try fighting him and even take ignite for potential kill thread. If not, just take TP and play for ults.”
0
PerfectPower says “Generally beat him in early skrimishes. Can outscale you.”
0
checca says “This matchup, based on my experience, is Zac favored against bad Graves players. I usually run Conqueror to prevent the threat of an early invade. Once you complete the first full clear, you and Graves are basically even, but Zac will slowly outscale even if even in gold. Aftershock and Thornmail absolutely cripple Graves. At top level a good graves player can always beat zac no matter what.”
1
basrty1p says “Depending on how much on your skill level.
Kite with your Q and E back to him since you can't do really much at early game.
Avoid his smoke as much as possible if you want to kite back.
After level 9 and get Everfrost, you can fight him easily.”
0
lovicoaching says “Same thing as Elise but in opposite way. This guy invades whole game, level 1 2 3 4 ... But if you get to scale it's pretty hard for him to hit you. can be a hard or an easy matchup based on lanes.
Important to ward river for level 1/2 invades. Level 3 isnt as common but if he didnt invade level 1 or 2 really get ready for level 3. If he hasn't invaded by level 4 you probably got a free win.”

Moonkie says “Farms well and attempts to control the map. However very easy to escape from or setup for your teammates.”

Suki545 says “I personally permaban graves so idk what to tell u except that hes hecas biggest counter.He can invade,he gets insane amounts of armor from his E and he can dash over walls multiple times to escape and kite well.Hes also one of the most picked junglers rn.”

Heca diffs says “[12.23] Ward your buff you're not starting on. He can do Buff into your buff and that is really bad. He's hard to beat if he gets early kills, but it's doable.
Tip: Tell your midlaner to try to get priority early game so Graves has a harder time invading you.”

Bhyure33 says “Stacks armor with E, and can also use it to dodge your W. Is also very good at invading you. A big threat, but in low-elo people aren't that good at kiting or invading properly, so there is a lower chance of actually facing a good Graves main. Try to pick a fight when he has no stacks on E.”
0
Lasine says “Same as Elise, this matchup depends a lot on the Graves skill level but is a bit more difficult due to his passive (extra armor). Most Graves dont know how to play him well so you wont have much problems most of the games. If the Graves is very good this is an extreme matchup.”
0
BLOODINSIDE says “Graves is a resource heavy champion. If you get ahead early and snowball he will have a hard time playing the game around 3 losing lanes. But at the same time if you allow him to scale up he will give you a hard time”
0
RedNBlue says “Graves is a lower 5, don't feed him or he will do a lot of damage to you, and your back line with his ultimate.
One moment your team is behind you and all you have to do is look forwards to graves. Then he drops a nuke on you and your team with an R and after the dust and blindness settles your team is just gone and your sitting 50% health surrounded by the enemy.
Don't get blinded, don't get ulted, don't let him get fed. A decent graves will win against you. Graves in a higher Elo game is a champion to ban. ”

Hazardist says “Once a strong meta pick, Graves has now fallen in power for season 13 and you rarely see him picked anyway, but if the enemy jungler plays him just play conservatively the first 5 levels and from there on you beat him in every aspect.”
0
Whasian says “Graves is interesting to play against as his blind is pretty annoying and his ability to dash out of your W can be annoying, but your Ghouls out scale him.”
0
Riccardo126 says “Extremely annoying. His W blocks you completely from engaging negating vision, his dash lets him go out of range or behind your shield. Plus all his abilities gives him more armor, so you deal less dmg to him.
Probably the most specific Pantheon jungle counter”
0
Centaur says “His massive armor gained from his E passive makes him unduelable outside of the early stages of the game. Try to avoid Graves. He has little mobility so with help he is punishable. ”
0
MythicalMinute says “I will be putting risk factor at 5 because if the Graves is good, he will thrash you, people think he's weak early but he can do so much early. Dont be afraid to all in him early but be wary of his armour stacks, he can get up to 30 armour level 1 so wait for that to go. You can invade him early due to his alright clear, soon as he backs once just spam gank and hope he isnt there.
Bruiser (Tank Oriented) is good.”

Kukiziuu_ says “Graves is hard matchup, why? He got a setup to easily dodge all of your skillshots, his E (Quickdraw) increases his armor and makes harder to oneshot him. Try to avoid fighting early game as much as possible.

Eagzey says “Yes Graves can invade/pressure us early game, but with mythic spike we can easily 1-shot him (especially because most Graves players are going Umbral first item). If you can R him without using W it's a free kill (when he E's you W to catch).”

0
DixonTheGuideMaker says “Only look to fight Graves if there are lots of allied minions in lane so you can use them to block his auto-attacks. Graves auto attacks are not always effective as monsters, minions, towers block his damage and consume a bullet. Stay behind a monster or minion to avoid his auto-attack damage. When fighting around the Scuttle Crab, make sure it’s in between you and him so it blocks an auto. When duelling Graves, try and stand away from terrain as he will use it to his advantage to make his End of the Line(Q) explode quicker.”
0
Yuki H. says “His early game invade pressure is what brings him up from a threat level of "minor." From level 4 onwards, you will mostly never die to Graves unless you jump in and miss. In the late game he may be well-equipped to deal with Zac if even, but in skirmishes, Zac will outshine Graves 9/10 times.”

KruzeAlogic says “Graves is a Ranged champion but is easier for Kayn to play against while using Rhaast. Fighting him would give you Shadow Assassin stacks so you'd have to wait for your Rhaast counter to go down before transforming”

DixonTheGuideMaker says “Graves auto attacks are not always effective as monsters/minions/towers block his damage and consume a bullet. Stay behind a monster or minion to avoid his auto-attack damage. When fighting around the Scuttle Crab, make sure it’s in between you and him so it blocks an auto. When duelling Graves, try and stand away from terrain as he will use it to his advantage to make his End of the Line(Q) explode quicker. Graves is a very strong duellist. Don’t fight him unless he’s low on health. He is also very good at kiting.”

If you fight him in lane, use your minion wave as a wall so his autos get blocked and avoid walls so that his Q doesn't double hit you instantly.”

Before season 13 Graves was absolutely unplayable, but in recent patches the matchup has become much more bearable (I've even stopped banning this champion). There is room for outplay with Q placement now, and with nerfs to mr items and Graves players going bruiser instead of lethality now, matchup has become somewhat playable.”

Boptimus says “Pretty rare lane but can be difficult depending on the skill of the player. Graves has no real kill threat on you unless you let him free hit AA you.

GrayJinxed says “Graves' will reduce your range advantage by using his smokescreen (W) which limits your vision and slows you while inside it. Use your Q in the opposite direction that you saw the smokescreen to avoid limited visual contact with the enemy.
He will then try to move closer with his dash (E) which stacks armor each time he uses it in combat. By avoiding his smoke (W), use W to lower the cooldown of your Q and try your best to jump away whilst also auto-attacking him in the process.
Avoid walls unless you know Graves' grenade shot (Q) is on cooldown or you are fast enough to jump over a wall.
His ult (R) is an Area of Effect execute shot which can be countered with your ult (R).

That blind is really annoying so try to get out of it as fast as possible. I d recommend using the w dash in a different direction not towards him as his auto will hit you even if he tries to hit the Decoy (W). He can get fed depending on how much your team knows how to play against him, but overall you can take him once you get a bit of advantage over him.”

lolkayleee says “[Grasp/Conqueror + Trinity Force]
[Ignite/Flash + TP]
Graves tries to just perma shove you under tower and has tons of built in armor in his kit. Try to land your W on him, most graves will use their dash. You can then use your E to get on top of them for a short trade. Keep doing this before he builds his lifesteal items. Stay behind minions so he can't auto you. Don't stand in front of your tower to cs or he can easily land his Q on you when it hits your tower/terrain. If he gets a kill on you your lane is basically over. Try to be more useful than him outside of lane phase.”

BreadedBreadCrum says “Graves is one of your highest counters. He does INSANE damage, even early on. Scales high. High health and survivability with his Immortal Shieldbow build. Can run Serpent's Fang and can delete you in two shots. That, already, is insane. BUT WAIT, there's more! He can push Daisy back before she can use her knock-up, disrupting your combo. His dash can dodge your CC and can close the distance between you and him, so it's hard to kite him out. His insane early clear speeds also means he can take your blue before you can even come back to get it on your first clear. The only thing you have over him is that his E only gives armor, and not MR, so hitting your abilities and locking him down can get him killed. Ban worthy. Aery Inspiration. For AP, go CotSQ or Everfrost. Sup, go Shurelya's.”

Consolo says “Honestly depends on the Graves, if you can get him behind he is turboworthless, but good Graves players won't let you get them behind. Try to counterjungle as much as you can, and take objectives while he's weak. Counterganking a great option into him, as he has no escape. Threat scales with your rank.”

KamiKZ says “Very annoying to deal with, but you can change your playstyle to get the upper hand. Get the jump on him first and use Void Assault to stop him from auto attacking you. Just be wary when jumping on him, he can easily dash away which leaves you vulnerable if you do not have Void Assault. Also be mindful of how tanky he can become while still dealing damage with the tankiness from True Grit (passive), Challenging smite, Ninja Tabis, Phantom Dancer, Deaths Dance, Maw or more which negate your burst. Challenging smite and Q evolve will make a big difference in dueling him.”

Veralion says “Graves isn't doing too well right now. His strengths are clear speed and clear safety, not ganking, much like you. Just respect him and condede crabs until 6 if necessary as usual. Don't let him proc phase rush or he will probably run you down, he's absolutely nuts with that rune. Stay well away from him while he has red. Both of you occupy the niche of scaling objective-based junglers. He farms camps way faster than you do, but you beat him in objective damage. That clear speed of his lets him snowball exceptionally hard if he gets lucky with a good early game, and he will become fast enough to clear half of your jungle on top of his with every rotation. Graves players counterjungle to an obnoxious degree. Things become unmanageable at this point without catchup XP. Make sure that when he's thinking about your gromp, you're thinking about his drake. ”

FREAKSTAR says “Scary champion, good Graves players are VERY aggressive. They will try to fight you all game long, you don't really want the 1v1.
Outrun them farm whatever they dont and if they invade you, invade them opposide side.
Keep track of them and keep your distance, you will outscale.
Late game when Graves is trying to team fight, your E damage will completely destroy him and his teammates.
This is one of the matchups that determines how good your Shyvana is.”

Tormentula says “Elise can only beat him early on. Mid and Late game he will outscale her, have significantly higher farm than her, carry better than her, and overall just outclass her after his first item if he got to chill and farm. His smokescreen actually counters Rappel since if he drops it in the center, Elise still cannot see anything while in Rappel, and he can dodge Cocoon with his E while killing all spiderlings with Q. Best bet is to Rappel the explosion of his Q, wait for him to waste E to Cocoon him, and abuse him early game while he's weak. ”

Doubtfull says “Rek'sai loses this match up at all points in the game. Graves outfarms rek'sai, and 3/4 abilities in his kit help him kite you.

Less of a threat the further down the ladder you are, as players aren't as good at kiting.”

IMissedMyQ says “Graves is very tough. He has a strong level 2 to match you, and he is very slippery. His high damage and high mobility makes him perfect for countering your kit.

Asternova says “RUNES: Phase Rush. Dark Harvest if possible.
ITEMS: Zhonya's. Plated Steelcaps if his team is full of AD.
GAMEPLAY SUMMARY: Graves is a very consistent champion, good at all stages in the game depending on the situation, avoid letting him get fed, as that might be the end of the line for you. Be aware of potential invades, ask your team for help if you see him coming, otherwise, just run. Use your movement speed to dodge his Q and smoke screen, kite him since his auto attack range is quite small, he also has no way of dodging your ult in his kit (hooray!), and since he's quite squishy, that might result on him getting one-shotted.”

[Graves is basically an ADC that wants to stand the closest possible to you, but you're Rammus, you counter ADCs even though this one is a bit tankier and likes being in a near-melee range, which is something you could like since your E has a bit more range that your AA which makes it ideal to cast. He has a two dashes but except if he has W and R, he cannot really get away from you.]

Exoslol says “Graves is the champion I ban 100% of the time. Graves makes your life miserable. He will kite you around and outsustain you after he finishes his Death's Dance combined with red smite. If graves goes Phase rush the only way to fight him is getting the Phase rush on cooldown or have your laners CC him so he can not escape. If you meet him 1v1 the only way you kill him is if you get the first combo in from an unwarded area. I don't think this matchup is playable though as he 9/10x outperforms you later on in the game while being unkillabe.”

Rhoku says “Graves is one of the more problematic junglers to deal with due to how slippery he potentially can be. He isn't the best kiter due to his lower range but if he outplays your pull with his dash, then you pretty much can't do anything against him unless you have Ghost. He scales up very well but he can't really oneshot you if you tank up. Getting to him is the difficult part. He can also outplay your ultimate with his smokescreen. His clear is better and he is more mobile around the map. You must force him into a corner and kill him at some point. He is also difficult to kill during invades as he stacks his E armor up.”

Pyroen says “This is more of a skill matchup - Graves needs farm to be effective, similar to Nidalee. If you can map his route and counter jungle you can reach your early spikes faster that him. Be careful when engaging him 1v1 in the jungle since he has a relatively safe clear he should always be close to full hp.
Once you have runic echoes and Sorc boots - land that spear and end his reign of terror.

RichMrFork says “Can use his terrain scaling to get creative invade and gank paths. Graves has many different builds and options to go each game. He can go Phase Rush or Fleet, Flash or Ignite, or even invade you level 2 or at your second buff. He can become extremely hard to kill if he goes Shieldbow paired with his mobility. You have a much stronger gank presence over him so make sure to be proactive on the map because Graves will outfarm you. Try to keep the same gameplan as harder matchups, survive the early levels and use your better gank threat to get your lanes ahead so Graves has a harder time farming, soloing objectives and invading you.”

Kayn Mains says “Definitely the worst matchup for Kayn. You cannot beat Graves early to mid game due to the additional armor he gets from his Quickdraw (E).

Once you reach the late game you can start considering to duel him as Shadow Assassin if he has no stacks on his Quickdraw (E). If you chose Rhaast, ensure the survival of your team by peeling for them.”

metalhydra273 says “I'd say Graves marks the true even point of jungle matchups in this guide. He can be hard to kill sometimes, is fresh fodder others. You have means to outplay him and run him down thanks to your spire speed in a 1v1, and you can also kill him easily with ult, but if he gets ahead it can be trouble. Limit his early game capabilities and look to be more useful than him throughout the game by getting objective prio early and force him to try to contest.”

KhaZix Mains says “[5/10] Can be very annoying to deal with but you can change your playstyle to get have better odds against him. You can try to get the jump on him first and use Void Assault to stop him from auto attacking you, just be wary as he can easily dash away which leaves you vulnerable if you do not have Void Assault. Prowler can be viable for getting on top of him without having to use Leap as well as Serpent's Fang for breaking through his Shieldbow.
Also take note of how tanky he can become while still dealing damage with the tankiness from True Grit and his itemization choices which negate your burst. Q evolve can make a big difference in dueling him. It’s recommended to pick up Conqueror in this matchup and evolve R into W to provide utility to your team and minimize some of his mobility. ”

Graves's ultimate ability, (R) also knocks him back away from Rengar's chase, and his Q is a direct shot in the direction he points, which will ricochet if bounced off a wall, which will do tons of damage to Rengar. And that's not even the bad part. Graves can stack up Armor with his E, so when stacked up, he will take NO damage from Rengar what so ever. ”

Caled says “Graves is easily one of the HARDEST matchups for Kayn that he will lose 99% of the time. Regardless of what form you go, Graves' ability to fight pretty much any melee jungler is VERY strong as he gets bonus armor with his E (QuickDraw). Going Blue Kayn, you will never be able to one shot him as his itemization and kit counter you. Going Red Kayn, graves will kite you out of any of your Q’s (Reaping Slash) and will be able to dodge your W (Blade’s Reach) preventing you from ever locking him down. Graves thrives in early game skirmishes and can easily abuse Kayn before form through that of constant jungle pressure and invades. Against Graves, you will most likely have to give up any early scuttles and concede any pressure to him early/mid game as your weakest point is pre form. For most Kayn players, Graves is a MUST ban as it proves to be his worst matchup.”

Try to track him & predict where he may be able to gank, ping your teammates and prepare for counterganking. If you are behind or you just don't feel it would work out, you can invade his jungle on the other side / get drake/herald or gank another lane, as you know he won't be able to respond to any of this.”

sonminh says “Don't fight him early. 2v2 is possible if coordination is right and you have the first attack. Don't try to match full clear with him; he is way faster. Look for counter ganks, Graves can only gank if your laners are extremely vulnerable. Later in the game, picking him off is easy. Focus him first and play front to back if possible.”

DarkAuraLOL says “This is one of the most skilled matchups, he has one of the healthiest clears in game, he has mobility, burst, and DPS. Not an easy matchup I have to say, but, if you sneak invade him, or cheese him early, you win. If not, you'll eventually outscale him with form and mythical item, and one shot him. Make sure you don't let him invade you, and don't fight him for long, cause he will kite you off.”

MetaSolaray says “Graves natural tankiness from Grit will make him a tough matchup. While you win in direct fights if you can get on top of him smokescreen can make this hard. Counter with nimbus clock and avoid invading Graves if he's running Phase Rush. Taking waterwalking you can try to catch him turning corners with good vision and your raw melee stats will win early game. Late game build bramble and focus on peeling him as he'll be to bulky while dealing damage for you to handle.”

Sq_09 says “Graves has similarly low pressure to you early, but he clears way faster than you. Try figthing him when you have your Liandry's, since he is not at a point where he could just delete you. Speaking of which, he can oneshot you as soon as he has Collector. In teamfights, you can try to catch him out and burst him, since he probably won't survive being ERd in a teamfight.”
0
DarkAuraLOL says “A really annoying matchup early, he has great mobility especially with phase rush, he has good invading kit, with his dash through walls , he has a real fast clear , and doesn't lose health, just try to cheese his other side of the map, and only fight him if he's lower than you, also don't chase him once he dashes, cause of phase rush proc, try to fight him off, back when he dashes, unless u can flash and finish him off . Also avoid him invading your jungle , ward and ping your teammates.”

Shukori says “As of right now [Patch 11.3], Graves is really bad in my opinion and is therefore not even a threat to Karthus. Nevertheless i will write down Notes in case he becomes strong again.||||||Graves becomes a threat starting at lvl 1 because his Shotgun passive allows him to exert a lot of damage with autoattacks only. He also has a really fast Clear so make sure to ward in case he steals your Camps and if he does act accordingly. His Smokescreen [W] can be quite a nuisance but as long as you kind of "guess" where the enemy is and Q while walking out you should be fine. This is kinda the part where Intuition and gamesense comes into play.”

He will come out if the kills are free and he might also make a pressure gank to get some objectives, but the only thing he has on you is early invades - be careful to not get gunned down in your jungle. But with Phase Rush your early fighting in the jungle should not be a problem. ”

J03B0B says “A good graves look to stall your lvl 6 spike by invading and looking to take 2v2/3v3 skirmishes. He'll be more useful than you pre 6 so make sure you're not baiting your teammates into what graves wants.

RankOneZesin says “Graves is the champion I ban 100% of the time. Graves makes your life miserable. He will kite you around and outsustain you after he finishes his Death's Dance combined with red smite. If graves goes Phase rush the only way to fight him is getting the Phase rush on cooldown or have your laners CC him so he can not escape. If you meet him 1v1 the only way you kill him is if you get the first combo in from an unwarded area. I don't think this matchup is playable though as he 9/10x outperforms you later on in the game while being unkillabe.”

Lastly, Smoke Screen is often used to confuse those trying to gank, or to hinder anyone who tries to flee - the lack of vision completely screws up any initiation or follow up.”

He can delete the whole team, once, I was playing againt him, and he did literally 1v4, without any help. This champion doesn't make sense, and should be nerfed.

You need to understand if you have mid priority to be able to farm your jungle and have help from your laners to deal with him. You can try some counter jungle to not fall behind and play around the map, find an opportunity to gank.”

Spection says “ UNCOMMON. Graves is probably your hardest ADC counter, bringing a terrifying amount of damage at any range whether he is extremely behind or way in the lead, you don't ever want to pick Pantheon onto this horrifying champion. He will burst you down in seconds and wipe his face with your blood and tears. ”

chasemyman1 says “You would think this is an easy matchup due to Graves kit being built against AD but its a really tough matchup for Elise. He can dodge your cocoon easily and use his smoke grenade to blind you. Mix this with Phase Rush and he dances around you. Trying and get some early ganks of to get objectives before he can impact the game.”

berronii says “He's one of the hardest champions to get to in the jungle, you'll get a bunch of damage just by getting close to him. E as fast as he turns back to you, and start going towards him. He'll deal some damage to you even through your E, but you have your Q so you shouldn't worry. Once you get close to him, it'll be hard but you can win if you've finished Warrior. Don't start fights with him before finishing it. ”

One auto attacks sends daisy directly to Brazil so don't expect to ever get a knock-up on this guy, or by that matter, around him at all.

PsiGuard says “This matchup slightly favors Evelynn as the game goes on, but Graves has a strong early game (especially level 2) and may invade you, so plan your route and place vision to avoid fighting him. Once you have Runic Echoes and level 6, you can start threatening him directly. Watch out for defensive items like Hexdrinker, Mercury's Treads or Phantom Dancer that might make him tankier than he seems. If you keep scaling and getting more AP, eventually you'll outstrip his defenses if you can ever charm him.”
0
PsiGuard says “Graves' mobility, armor and sustained damage allow him to 1v1 you at most points of the game. You can usually avoid dying to him 1v1, but it'll be difficult to win early fights if he's involved. Feel free to cede minor objectives like the Scuttle to him, as the only way he kills you is if you commit to fighting him. Make sure you take Nimbus Cloak in this matchup so he doesn't run you down.”

KillyOne says “Similar to Kindred in a sense that he is ranged with a lot of damage, but also is pretty tanky thanks to his E passive. He will likely kite you a lot, so don't try too hard to fight with him. Focus on objectives rather than 1v1ing Graves.”

He doesn't clear faster than you, so you can always try to meet him at scuttle, provided you have prio. You win with triple Q if you play it right. (don't chase after he procs phase rush, stay near bushes, predict where he will E when you E...)”

Xeldom says “Difficult match-up.
Graves will never lose to you 1v1 due to his Quickdraw. His core build is black cleaver and he will buy ninja tabi's against you. Maintain constant pressure of the map and gank/ward your jungle entrance for invades. Do not let Graves farm for free.”

The free armor he gets from E as well as the blind that he can just drop in a bush and make you lose both eyes instead of just one, he's going to outdamage you if he's a good graves.

Morzanoth says “So Graves is an odd match-up. He has a similar playstyle to fizz in terms of what he looks to do in a game but he doesn't have as hard a fall off in the late game. I rank him pretty low on the match up list for fizz because he doesn't really have much kill pressure on you since you can more often than not E to avoid a lot of damage and run away. Fizz's level 6 is actually better than graves (20% increased damage to a target) since Fizz can then basically one-shot anyone he chooses. Just be careful of getting counter jungled since graves has a better clear early on.”

Nico449c says “Graves is one of the weaker junglers the only things you should be away of you will lose most fights if you miss e or if you let him hit you with both damage parts of q.

KhaZix Mains says “[5/10] Very annoying to deal with, but you can change your playstyle to get the upper hand. Get the jump on him first and use Void Assault to stop him from auto attacking you. Just be wary when jumping on him, he can easily dash away which leaves you vulnerable if you do not have Void Assault. Also be mindful of how tanky he can become while still dealing damage with the tankiness from True Grit (passive), Challenging Smite, Ninja Tabis, Death's Dance, or more which negate your burst. Q evolve can make a big difference in dueling him. It’s recommended to try out Phase Rush in this matchup as you’ll have a lot more sticking power and slow resistance to not get kited by him earlygame. Also be mindful of his early invades and ganks.”

MrPuggles says “ Graves is easy enough to beat in a 1v1 early. His reload time during the early game is pretty slow, making it so that you out damage him. Graves also has no reliable disengage, meaning once you get on him, there isn't much Graves can do. Don't invade in this matchup, but if you see him, you can probably kill him.

xTheUnlimited says “Pretty strong jungler right now. Not sure what to do against him. Warn your teammates, 2v1 him and just wait for late game where you are tanky enough to compensate his damage. If this guy gets ahead, your game could be over!”
0
Yuki Nagato says “Very annoying matchup, if you want a chance at fighting him you have to get the jump on him first and even then he can just E away, be careful of how tanky he can become because of his E stacks.”
0
ApexZulu says “Skill matchup, a good graves can effectively beat a Trundle early if he has red buff, so be careful in early 1v1s. ”
0
craY13 says “The burst damage he can land is insane. If you manage to survive the burst you can fight him and destroy him very fast.”
0
LePlay says “He relies on his E - which is easily blocked by your W - to reload his gun and get some armor, but also deals significant damage with his auto attacks and his Q. Furthermore, you can´t use your E on him while he blinds you with his W”
0
PenguinOnStick says “You should be able to deal with graves early on since Jax is almost unstoppable at that time. It will be a bit tricky late since he is very tank. Don't use your E before he uses his. Or Q on him when he has used his E.”
0
MaRtOOOOOOOOOOO says “He is probably the best Solo Q jungler right now. He will mosly farm but gank as well not too much but as long as you don't get an early lead he will destroy you and your team. So you will have to get an early lead and counter gank him with your laners. Most of the players below diamond just pick him because he is meta and don't know how to play him.”
0
SubSequence says “If he can get you against a wall, you're donezo buddo.
If you can kite, you gottim, Jim.”
0
OmnimX says “His nearsighted can screw you over, but he only has 2 bullets. Try to engage him without ammo, or use your charm. If charmed, he will melt like a regular squishy.”
0
ElementressX says “This guy is disarmingly strong. Don't let him kite you. IF you do get close enough he is dead. Try to kill him as much as possible, but don't die to the other lanes doing this.”
0
Iced IMP says “With a dash that gives him resistances and allows him to stick to you coupled with his damage this match up is quite a challenge. Avoid it at all costs. If you find yourself in this matchup use plenty of wards.”
0
Violzandre says “Okay, one of the few real threats, he's going to poke you and run, slowing you, bursting with his abilities when he can do a great dmg, and he farm good too.
Tips? Try to get every red buff in the match when you can, abuse of the wards against him and avoid fighting him alone.
Yeah, you can try using your R and you W to catch him but he have a great mobility too, that's why you need to get every red buff, because you can't kill him if he has it.”
0
Wulfery says “In 1 on 1 fight you may have a chance due to E, but he'll still be able to outdps you, especially if smoke screen will be dropped right in time.”
0
Predated01 says “Really annoying matchup because he can just perma farm to stay relevant but if he's not ahead he's not that big of a threat.”
0
Mundo_Mundo says “Just good at kiting and doing damage early on. Better 1 v 1 and ganks.”
0
LordTamaki says “Graves isn't to bad if you charm him. He has very litlle range just avoid taking melee shots and you should be able to defeat him. As with camilla, however, his early game beats yours.”
0
Yasuo Comunica says “Okayish matchup against a decent Graves we have the better clear, so try to cheese him. Avoid walls and his w later
”
0
weinerman says “hah, pathetic, don't try to just stand there and out auto this man tho, if he is fed he will shotgun ur weiner and that might hurt, just kite and spell shield his dumb ult and he'll probably die sooner or later.”
0
Loul_60 says “Graves is a tricky one, the typical 'outfarming' strategy doesn't really work with him because he has very good clear too, Graves can also out 1v1 you early, just try to powerfarm level 6, get the correct form for the situation (remember Graves is ranged) and then you may be able to fight him and win.”
0
IceBrittle says “His huge burst of dmg can kill you very easily on early game”
0
TricolorStar says “One of the most dangerous matchups for Evelynn. An AoE blind, stacking Magic Resist, and an execute makes him very, very dangerous. Expect him to take your red or invade you early.”
0
Morzanoth says “Graves can be a tricky match for FIddle. The high burst and sustained damage of graves means you cannot fight him in a 1v1. The only time you can risk fighting a graves is if you can land your ult because he won't be able to escape most of the time. ”
0
ninja8135 says “He is a beast in the current meta. He has the advantage of range and his abilities give him insane resistances. Do not engage unless you are fed or have an ally to back you up.”
0
Razvan1ro says “A decent Graves is ver hard te beat.
He has the tools and damage to beat you.
Just ban him.”
0
GamingGaodzilla says “You can beat Graves at all points in the game as long as he's going even with you, although you might have some difficulty against him late game. ”
0
Markz says “Graves can kite you fairly well while doing lots of damage to you. He's also annoyingly tanky so unless you have a clear advantage, don't mess with him too much. Focus on getting lanes ahead and counter ganking.”
0
GinWinsky says “Skill matchup. If you misuse your W, expect to be chunked.”
0
Avarkk says “Graves can be very hard to hit with your abilities. And his E armour passive makes him annoying tanky to try duel. Try to get your lanes ahead against this cigar boy.”
0
OddOwl says “Graves will counterjungle and duel you easily. Making it really hard for you to get any buffs and crabs. He also has two abilities to dodge your E and R.”
0
RAT 4 says “well graves got dangerous cause of new patch (dark harvest).. try to avoid him i guess and ward ur jungle recently”
0
Exhiled says “He likes to get in your face so you're at a disadvantage because he deals more damage to you.
”
0
Asianfury79 says “Broken champ, but other than that farm and team fights are easy win ”
0
Razvan1ro says “Stronger dueling at all stages of the game unless he falls behind. You have better ganks.Try co counter gank and avoid him early.
You can 1 shoot him if you have all trinkets available.”
0
VincentDowel says “He's not much of a problem until he starts one-shotting late-game”
0
GinWinsky says “W, then smash. Might be a problem until 6. Don't fight until then if not confident.”
0
Damosus says “Early game you get clapped. He just out damages Yi at many points in the game. If you have Guinsoo stacks and ult you should have a fairly easy time fighting him. DON'T fight early, and watch for invades. ”
0
TheGodKingSilver says “Much like Kindred, Graves can kite you fairly well while doing lots of damage to you. He's also annoyingly tanky so unless you have a clear advantage, don't mess with him too much. Focus on getting lanes ahead and counter ganking.”
0
CalebsLegacy says “Don't let him counter jungle you as he is a great farmer. Once ahead, you can't beat him but, you can easily win if you counter jungle him and fight him in the bushes. ”
0
0 Ganks Given says “Kindred is actually one of those champs that can stand toe to toe with Graves through out the whole game, and scale beyond him with their marks. Just watch out for his damage he can still burst you faster.”
0
SiwanKara12 says “Keep out of range of Graves AA's, since they will hurt you badly. Otherwise you'll be fine.”
0
KonOCE says “He has fast clear, with a boat load of damage, stay away from walls and try to fight him in the river or in the open, he wont be about to kite you”
0
Morzanoth says “Graves is probably the strongest jungler when he is meta. He clears super fast and doesnt even lose HP. Thankfully you are a tank and have a good amount of cc to use. If you get ahead in the match up you can actually bully him a bit and if he mispositions you can kill him with your team.”
0
Abidd says “Good Graves players will be able to kite you, however if you see him in the river, always go for him since there's no chance he will escape both Waterwalking and Celerity. You will out damage him, in this sense. Other than that, don't even try it.”
0
MetabuserEU says “Pretty strong jungler right now. Not sure what to do against him. Warn your teammates, 2v1 him and just wait for late game where you are tanky enough to compensate his damage. If this guy gets ahead, your game could be over!”

Warmanreaper says “He out ranges darius , specially cause he has a dash , save your grab for when he burns the dash.”

ChineseMonkey says “Graves countera o Shaco devido a sua passiva, que joga minions e consequentemente a ShacoBox para trás, fora sua capacidade de te caitar até o inferno.
”
0
xXZwippinXx says “Early On will have a better clear and higher damage scaling, you can catch him off guard once you reach Lvl. 6, try to use your stealth to your advantage.”
0
1ShotKitty says “He can Kite you very nice in early u can kill him later he kite's you and his counter ganks are so broke”
0
noobynight says “fast and high damage just ping for help and go for back stabs. ”
0
Castcade says “Graves Is not hard nor easy to fight his near sight is annoying because you need to waste a q to get out of it without letting the arrows fly to anyone his armor stacking is hard to deal with but you have more dashes i recommend playing safe and do not contest marks with him”
0
Meta4our says “You all probably know why u placed Graves on this list it's because he is the perfect counter to Kayn no matter the form,or how much kills you have.
He will always he a strong pick individually and a good counter pick to Kayn”
