Citric says “Against a perfect Graves player, you will never have a good early game. Watch out for his early invades with wards at the entrance of your jungle. He also kites you hard so if you fall behind you will almost never comeback. Graves likes to either level 1 late invade or level 2 invade after doing his red. ”
Doubtfull says “Graves historically struggles with AP jungle match ups. This one is a little tricky as you much be in his auto range in order to Q, but with the right micro you can dodge the back end of his Q and pop him. If you have a heavy AP team he can stack MR and make this match up pretty difficult. ”
EUWRATS says “Graves beats you level 1-3 but if he doesnt get ahead in those early levels by invading you, you should win, always ward in advance vs graves, most likely you will see him at your gromp. Make sure to take phase rush to be able to run after him.”
SnowballBarrage says “Graves is very strong, his high mobility makes running away very hard and he can kill you early if you get caught with no flash. ”
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. He also gets insane amounts of armor from his grit passive. This is my priority ban if I want to play rek'sai in high elo. Less of a threat the further down the ladder you are, as players aren't as good at kiting.”
Gedrah says “Graves has a lot of early damage and early presence. He can easily burst and follow sejuani across the map. Be careful when trading against him.”
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.”
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.”
ak521 says “Very easy matchup. You can tank most of his damage, land your Q on him in a team fight and he's dead easily. Strong early game and good 1v1 strategy against many champions who are in similar line or behind. So as long as you put enough pressure on Graves and remember to gank your teammates, you should end up fine.”
nZk01 says “Graves is insanely overrated right now and actually people are way too bad to play him, just click on him and check his armor and when it will turn off, then u mostly win 1v1's if u have ignite and play it well, champ has mediocre first clear as well but its still healthy.”
lightrocket2 says “He does ridiculous damage up close and has a dash so 1v1's are very very difficult. Try to play for objectives because you do scale better”
Do1HaveTh3Sauce says “Graves has a faster and healthy (normally) clear then you. If you catch him at the right time, you win duels against him pre - 6.”
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.”
uSgSello says “Losing matchup.
Graves wins trades in the early game because he has more damage than you and is not as squishy as you. Even in mid game if he builds Maw you can't win the trades.”
NixLychee says “He will kite you, even with your gap closers, and he will power farm and scale, allowing for better fighting late. He's strong both early and late, so be careful with him. Personal favorite ban right now.”
Hidon1 says “He likes to full clear as well. 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. ”
Doubtfull says “Graves can be annoying with early invades, but post that you win the match up. Play around this by getting a leash and using pinks to guard your entrances. In the late game lock him down and take him out.”
Ejsner says “Conqueror suggested. Graves is my permabanned champion every single time I queue up for ranked no matter the elo. Graves is just a complete counter to Rengar all together. Reason being, If Rengar leaps, all Graves needs to do is W Rengar, and E away from him. 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 and MR with his E, so when stacked up, he will take NO damage from Rengar what so ever. ”
IMissedMyQ says “This is as close to a skill matchup as it can get. Both of you are very vulnerable to each other. If graves gets the jump on you, then you will never be able to kill him (unless you have a big lead). If you get the jump on him, he's forced to retreat or die. Always be on the lookout to pounce on him. Never be caught with your pants down.”
LambWolf says “Don't duel graves if he has many e stacks. Right click him to check if he has alot of them. You can win fight against him if he doesn't have e stacks before fight.”
ANTHONYEVELYNN says “"even" is just the average of 50% of graves being a tiny threat while the other 50% being an extreme threat. Most people can't play him well enough”
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. The best thing you can do is look to counter gank him. If you're able to catch him by surprise, you may be able to effectively handle him.”
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.”
xracer02 says “Graves is just broken and has too much armor against you. He will rush Plated Steelcaps and you won't kill him. Graves also gets too much armor with his E passive.”
adony101 says “You can match his early aggression but he outscales you, especially in teamfights. You can 1v1 him mid-late game if he doesn't build mr. Go zhonya's 3rd item. Not a bad match-up overall imo.”
TheMrDarkness says “PERMA BAN HIM IF YOU ARE PLAYING RENGAR. You will regret not banning him. he's just as squishy as any marksman, but if he stacks if E, he is just unkillable also if he has phase rush is hard to catch him”
J03B0B says “HIs E allows him to dodge your E, after that he procs phase rush and dominates you. It's not unwinnable but he will out scale you and he isn't easily exploitable early game. ”
RedNBlue says “You have longer range just make sure to dodge out of his near sighted smoke bomb so that you can still shoot him. Otherwise he will be a piece of cake and if he picks graves into you he will be making a GRAVES MISTAKE!”
chevy the sloot says “Ugh I hate this champ but it should be easier to deal with him now. We can match his dueling with red smite. Demonic embrace is nice here too. He likes to heavy blind invade like an ape. Ask your team to punish this crap.”
Shinkutsune says “Avoid him in the early levels, he kills you if you dont dodge his Q. After 6, you should be able to 1V1 him if you use your Q correctly and if he isnt 20/0.
”
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.
When you gank, it better work, or your opposite side jg is gone and your level 6 is delayed by a lot. Once you have ult take over the game! ”
RedNBlue says “Graves is a good all around Jungler with a good tanky mix build and is a good jungler all game pretty much. A good Graves early will try to fight you and kit you back and as you chase and throw your axe he will be doubling the damage you are doing.”
chevy the sloot says “You are arguably the only counter match up Graves has. That said this is usually a tempo match up so you want to bully him and deny him a snowball before yours. ”
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.”
SingleSausage says “He has better clear than you and can steal alot of ur camps to get ahead, early u can beat him if you stay on him and e his burst but if he kits u he can win, you have better gankes after 6 he has better become 6 overall its a skill match up”
Schadenfreude says “If you main this champion, go ahead and close out this tab, because I hate you. I have seen people taking galeforce on him, so he might be harder to catch, but if you manage to get your hands on this piece of shit, I want you to make him suffer. Invade any chance you get. Put him behind and make him regret queuing up. ”
Tinjus says “Very annoying to deal with, but Kha'Zix can handle him quite easily. 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 without Void Assault.”
Suseri says “His Smoke Screen is annoying and he has alot of Dmg but since he has no CC, you can dodge alot of his spells or negate some damage with your W.”
Polarshift says “A good Graves (esp with Phase Rush) can still kite you out, but you counter him by your passive magic damage, cc, healing, damage reduction and ultimate. Watch his stacks, if he doesn't have stacks he's just like any other marksman. If you can stick on him you win every fight till around lvl 11, ofcourse this is way easier in elos till around Diamond. Try to go along with his E with your own Q to win this fight.”
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.
(remember to always clean up his camps when you've taken him off the map)”
KhaZix Mains says “[9/10] 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.
Also take note of how tanky he can become while still dealing damage with the tankiness from True Grit, Challenging Smite, Ninja Tabis or more 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.
Lastly, be mindful of his early invades and ganks as they can be deadly.”
Ellesmere 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.”
Watsonthe8th says “Im told this is a good match up for jax. I have no complains. he has a hard time fighting you as your e negates his burst. Ive lost to alot of jaxs while on graves so...... maybe its good.”
Veralion says “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. He's got a few buffs recently that made him a lot harder to deal with, including some significant MR on his passive. 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. Extreme with a lead for sure, but listed as major because he tends to leave you alone in the early game so you at least get a chance to play. Solid ban choice because of how popular he is and how much pressure he can exert on the map by one hitting every camp. ”
Aqua Dragon says “Graves is a pretty annoying early bully, but Voidlings are able to eat up a lot of the autoattack damage. Graves is also pretty dependent on getting an early lead to succeed, and tends not to focus on objectives too much, granting Malzahar ample time to sneak some dragons.”
The Real Fake says “You cannot really fight him 1v1 for most of the game, but you can match/beat his clear speed and try to apply more pressure. You offer more utility in teamfights and can mostly avoid him with smart pathing + Phase Rush.”
HVfun says “Graves is simply really strong right now. He clears faster than you, can match your early game ganks, and is an absolute monster late game. Try to get more ganks off than him early, and if your team rotates for you on scuddles you can possibly kill him and put him behind.”
PulseBeat_02 says “This will not be a fun matchup with you. He can easily dodge your Q with his withdraw. You can Black Shield his smoke canister, (because it deals magic damage), but nothing else, because they deal physical damage. Try building Rod of Ages early after you get your jungle item.”
Whynotbefriends says “I put him in Major as he becomes hard to deal with until you are extremely good at Nidalee, then he goes down to a 3. similar to Lillia in the respect of needing to outclear him, early fights are yours if you get the initiative.”
JunglerBuilds says “Ward your jungle and you should be alright. Has good jungle clear and high early damage. Needs a support to duo objectives. Try not to get counterjungled.”
styllEE says “Nocturne is really good into a lot of junglers atm, he beats most of them 1v1, and can nuke a lot of the populars like Graves, Taliyah etc.”
TheInkKingLoL says “Graves is very powerful right now, but because of Sett's kit, he doesn't counter you very well. Just be wary of steals and dueling him, especially early game. Try and track him in his jungle and steal what you can and get him behind.”
litecrunch says “This guy will dominate the early game and will most likely try to invade you. Don't fight early at all as he can kite you easily, ESPECIALLY with phase rush.”
G Spot God says “If he gets ahead it could be a long game for you. If not then I like the outscaling potential skarner has in this matchup. Must push the envelope early if he is behind and punish him. Only take duels if you hit your e and you have the spire or are very ahead. ”
Goldenstinger says “Not as tough - will invade you early. I usually ask for a leash in this match up to ensure i get buffs off the table in time. Ward your opposing buff with a control ward and counter jungle if required. If your lanes have prio ping him counter jungling for a free kill. ”
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.”
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. ”
Karthus man says “Graves can be a problem to you, but only in the early game and if he gets fed. If that happens, you should get a stopwatch to survive his initial burst and also try to power farm to catch up. Be weary about his invades because that is what graves likes to do.”
TheElibeater says “Hard counter to Kayn. Especially in the earlier stages of the game, Kayn doesn't stand a chance against Graves. His additional armor from the passive of his E makes him a great duelist against AD champions.”
liserith says “Graves's strongest weapon is his kiting strength, with his unique knockback autos. However, as a fellow ranged champ, you can duel him just fine. When he hits you with W, get out of it as soon as possible, and avoid his Q with your own. ”
ToMeTTV says “Strong champ in general but and can get tanky so AD does very bad into this and AP will struggle also because he can just dash onto you making it very hard to cite.”
Ivern OTP says “I used to ban graves perma since his autos push back Daisy and it used to tilt the living shit out of me. Graves can easily counter jg and contest your camps. Any champion that has an easy time getting into your jg and possibly stealing a prepping camp is a high threat to you.”
Chaddy Chapstick says “Graves is Ivern's biggest counter seeing how he can dodge, put out high damage, and fight better than you in every stage of the game. His autos will knock back monsters/minions and daisy is considered a monster so she will never be able to get her 3 hit passive on him.”
Kosserai says “Graves can feed himself pretty easily, once he haves eclipse and The Collector, you can say goodbye to the victory, try ganking the winning lane if this happens, if there is no winning lane, gank the one with the most amount of kills”
SDA Foobar says “he scales well in late game and does almost same dmg as lee sin in early, very strong you can try to counter gank or tell your solo laners to help you invade ”
Karwit says “Jest to chyba najcięższy przeciwnik dla kayna , Jeśli gramy asasynem , nie jesteśmy w stanie zadać mu obrażeń jeśli trafi nas krótkowzrocznością , jeśli gramy darkinem jest na tyle mobilny aby nas obijać zanim my zadamy mu obrażenia. Dodatkowo ma ogromny pancerz z pasywki E”
Karasmai says “[b]Please ban this champ [/b]there is very little to no counterplay if you don't ban him. I suggest dodging if some reason you didn't do either of these get ready for 15 minutes of the most unenjoyable experience you’ve ever had. If you manage to beat a Graves you probably went Rhaast and team fought better but you also probably had a better team so just ban him to save yourself.”
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).
Make sure to avoid him. If he invades you, you have no other choice but to give up your jungle camps unless your team decides to come and collapse on him.
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.”
Kindredgarten says “Kind of an even matchup but more Graves favored. He farms faster than you but you are slightly better early. Keep in mind that he can stack armor with his E passive in extended fights. Hard if he gets ahead but it's winnable. If he goes ignite, duels will be super hard to win and you should probably avoid it. Graves players like to invade so keep that in mind.”
nicksms says “I permaban graves. There are worse counters to Shaco but I just can't play against graves for some reason. He outfarms me, outganks me, out-objectives me, and most Graves players I play against can actually use the champion (unlike heca or nunu, for some reason).”
ENIGMAckey says “Graves is not only the most meta jungle in higher elo for the last few years, he is also the most annoying by a wide margin. Even if you root him with your Q and slow him with your shield, he can still stay on top of you.
If you fall behind to Graves, consider your jungle gone.”
b4kk0n the Gold Jungler says “Graves is only a major threat because of his early game power. Always watch out for level 2 invades with his E and save your taunt for when he flashes or Quickdraws away.”
Connweasel says “Graves is a top contender for my ban every game, this champion's passive gives him addition armor which makes him tanky without items. His entire kit is all about kiting, and it can be extremely hard to actually get on this champion and deal with him.”
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.”
ractick says “His passive, his E and W can be very abnoxious to Kayn. He will be able to kite Kayn with his E and Phase Rush.
His W (Nearsighted) can prevent you from using R at the right time and cause you to die.
Tricky match-up, not the hardest can be won with both forms, but I find Blue a better fit.”
Kevalanium says “as long as you play smart and wait until 3 or 6 don't miss your q early and you should win if you get a lead he is 100% useless once you hit 6 ”
McSushi says “You'll have to rely on him misplaying.
there's usually no way to win against a good graves, so you'll have to abuse every mistake that he or his team makes.
in gold elo and below, he will usually do a five camp clear from red to gromp. you can do a double buff gromp clear and invade him, low elo players just CANT kite camps, even on graves.”
KeyTheMonolith says “Graves can clear faster then you invade you at will and if you go Shadow Assassin he can blind you when you engage he also has the power to one shot you at will.”
CalicoCactus says “Can be annoying early with his smokje screen and his kite ability, at the end of the day he is an ADC who right now is building lethality, you should have no problem with him.”
White Cr0w says “He is countered by you, specially on the early stages of the game. He is squishy, and if you find him using skills to farm on jungle, he is dead. Be sure to NOT letting him free farm into midgame.”
jhoijhoi says “ Graves is a heavy burst damage carry. His combo of Quickdraw, Buckshot and Collateral Damage coupled with any sort of support CC/damage increase often results in a kill. He is also innately tanky due to True Grit, so it is hard to lower his health. 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.”
Eagzey says “One of the worst matchups for Shaco. Any champ with a dash is hard to 1v1, makes it even harder with emberknife (red smite), his W gives him time to reposition/damage, can one-shot us with a proper combo. ”
CaptianMike says “While Graves is Auto Attack based, he does deal plenty of damage. I would avoid fights early, but you win mid and late game. There is not too much to worry about. Just farm and outscale.”
Andygumy says “His Smoke Screen is annoying and he has alot of Dmg but you since he has no CC, you can dodge alot of his spells or negate some damage with your W.”
killcolin says “Same thing as lee sin. If he invades you pre-6 you're fucked. Once you hit 6 you can duel him with no isolation but he does scale very hard and can be a pain to deal with due to his w cancelling your q.”
Sheathblade says “Graves can easily burst you down if your not careful. Fight him with caution; he will most likely go nosing around in your jungle. Also has stupid amounts of armor for no reason.”
KajiKumihoAkukei says “Graves can be a very rough match-up if he gets an early lead, but if he falls behind even a little bit you can just eat him up.”
FrostForest says “Can dodge your EQ and run you down
You never beat him 1v1 unless you burst him or get the jump on him
Watch for his stacks on his E and what runes he has”
Gumipapucs says “I do not like playing into this champion. He will be stronger in early game, so you want to mostly avoid 1v1's with him unless you are ahead.
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.”
NiceTryVi says “Graves, like kindred, will kite you forever, but is far less annoying to deal with than she is. His high burst is something to be wary of as well.”
Fresh Diamond says “Graves W and E makes it hard to fight him without blue smite. He is much less mobile than Kindred, but his high auto damage and his armor stacking passive makes him unusually hard to kill.”
ACE4291 says “Can be annoying and tanky. He perma invades but you have a better teamfight 5v5 kit
Silence and Q is an easy escape if he chases you pre 6”
Minase says “Graves can easily shut you down and make your game unplayable and ontop of that he can very easily buy MR making him unkillable. However, if you get ahead early he can't play the game at all, so just try to avoid him and path safely so you can find a kill without dying. If you die even once the game is most likely over.”
VirulentCabbage says “A good Graves will invade you level 2 and send you to the grey screen simulator for the rest of the game by taking all your clear and then snowballing till he can one shot your entire team. 99% of games you should ban this champion in ranked. Norms are mostly okay.”
At0mikx458 says “Graves has a lack of MR so you can deal a lot of damage. But be carefull in 1v1 if you miss cocon because he can deal a lot of damage”
Orfeass says “Againts Graves you dont play leauge of legends you play survival due to his dominant early game and his constant invades make him really hard to play againts with thet fact that you need Rhast to beat him but he gives Shaddow Assassin orbs just makes it harder. ”
BoyWonder00 says “Amazing early game and will look to invade you often. He can also use his W to keep you from fearing him with your Q. He falls off late game, though, so if you can not die you outscale him.”
BoyWonder00 says “Like Elise, he shuts down Kayn and prevents him from getting his form. His E also stacks armour, and both Rhaast and SA do mostly physical damage.”
PH45 says “Has a dash so be careful as he can burst you really quickly early on as you are quite weak without your transformation. Remember to dodge his Q as it deals a ton of damage and in narrow spaces its much faster to explode.”
FalleN3 says “Graves has incredible early damage and if he gets fed you will have a big problem dealing with him. You will need to avoid his Smoke Screen as the loss of vision will leave you vulnerable. Using your meditate can help you to survive all-ins.”
Holessando says “Graves is extremely powerful now in my opinion, he's a tank bruiser/assassin, who is really unbalanced. He can do a lot in late game, with full items, he gets a lot of hp, armor, and also damage, which makes him greatly strong. 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. Be careful about early trades, since he's strong in all phases of game. Try to not get him fed, or he'll do the thing I wrote before. He may come to steal some of your camps, so be prepared. ”
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.”
metalhydra273 says “I'm going to say it again once more so I don't have to repeat myself too much, but whoever gets ahead usually wins. Graves is very susceptible to ult and you can run him down, but if he's too tanky to deal with it could be hard to kill him. Look to pull ahead before the late game and keep up pressure.”
NixLychee says “The biggest threat for Kayn, this is almost always an insta-ban because, as Kayn, you get kited REALLY hard, so you don't want to go up against a lot of ranged Junglers. His dash and kiting ability makes it impossible to hit your abilities, and his smokescreen prevents you from using your targeted ultimate, so basically just always ban Graves.”
DemacianStandard says “It's Graves. You generally won't do damage to him, but you can take advantage of his lack of mobility in extended fights. He cannot be duelled at any point in the game and is prone to stealing red buffs.”
AKScorched says “Graves is a pain in the behind for Fiddle. His mobility is pretty annoying and that nearsight succs (no pun intended). Basically don't fight him and if he invades you ask for your teammates help to kill him. If they don't just invade him and steal his raptors or wolves. Basically whatever he's stealing from you. You win mid-lategame against him, even 1v1.”
Xe0N says “He is a 1v1 beast and he will kill you multiple times in the early game. If he always counterjungles you and/or 1v1s you in your jungle all the time play aggressive and try to gank a lot.”
brSL7 says “Muitos Graves gostam de ficar invadindo a sua jungle, então peça ajuda para seu time e warde sempre.
No geral Mid-Late Game a troca é do Dr Mundo ”
NixLychee says “You get kited quite easily, especially if you don't yet have ult or it's on cooldown. Try to avoid fighting Graves unless you are significantly ahead.”
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. ”
KaRMaX says “One of ther worst match up. He will invade your jgl early, has better mobility and dmg. 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 “Dangerous champion. Starts red usually, can probbaly take blue. Will most likely try to counterjungle you so do it back to him. He is unduelable for you at all points of the game and can dodge your E every time, so only throw it out wheen you know his E is down or he is stunned by Daisy or an ally. ”
Udyr uber says “Tente acabar com ele no level 3
E quando ele estiver gankando, tente invadir ele, pois ele consegue ganhar as trocas no early contra você (Se ele souber caitar)
Tabi+Guerreiro+Malho congelado
”
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.”
popthepop says “Strong in solo queue, very hard to contest scuttles because zac is too weak early. Try to split the map and go for the other scuttle. If graves has not snowballed his early lead too far ahead, you are doing well.
”
ChaseMorePlz says “He has high burst potential when he gets ahead, however when he dashes you need to hit your Bandage Toss on him to stop him from reigning terror. Overall, an easy matchup just ward for your team and be wary of his invades. ”
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. ”
Depresso says “Goes Phase Rush thus making your slow worthless against him.
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.
Can invade and kill you if he knows your pathing aswell”
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.”
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.”
Freyhacks says “Because Xin is nerfed, graves became harder to deal with because he got buffed and he can kite a Xin if you dont have any items. You will be fine if you are ahead though.”
Freyhacks says “Graves gets armor stacked on his e so in long fights he out sustains you. In season 9 however Kayn is doing much better against graves.”
RageAx says “Tricky to fight early thanks to his dash, clears well and has strong ganks. Try and get your team to ward your blue early as it's pretty common for a Graves to take red, dash into Baron/Drake pit and invade your blue. Keep track of him and counter gank. Once you get form and Duskblade you can pretty much 1 shot him. Gives blue orbs so that's nice :)”
Aimisenpaii says “As long as you can dodge his smokescreen, you will win trade, this is a skill matchup, if you get ahead, punish him as hard as you can”
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.”
KillyOne says “A good graves player will give you nightmares in the jungle. He is ranged which makes him hard to kite and he also packs quite a bit of damage and gap closers with a dash and slow.”
Ambient12 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.”
League Of Cursed says “Graves has the ability to clear jungle monsters without spending health and you will lose the battle against Graves in the jungle ...
”
League Of Cursed says “You are looking to power farm much faster than he can. Always be on the move between camps, and try to grab scuttles way before he can get there. May be difficult at times, but you can gank harder at 6.
”
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.”
reganakers says “Another champ that can kite Rek'Sai quite easily. His passive also makes him a tank vs AD champs like Rek'sai so taking a 1v1 against him may not be as easy as it would seem.”
Dopamine_influx says “A good graves will never die to rengar, as his passive gives him a lot of armor, his red smite and tabi is basically an exhaust. 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...)”
Stiwy says “Strong early game and ranged autoattacks. His E armor can be a pain to deal with in the early game.
Try to play safe and you will outscale him.
If you are not too behind you can kill him at level 6.
Ninja tabis are a good early buy.”
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.”
Poohlio says “He out damage you early and can stack armor with his E, kinda busted not gonna lie especially when he has Phase Rush and out manuvers you too D:”
Jogress says “Strong early - may invade and may ruin you game. Play accurately and ping to allies. If your jungle is warded - counterjungle his part when he appears”
ZLOCO says “Good Graves can Easy counter jungle you with Ignite/Phase Rush so u must play safe vs him,he have extremly good jungle clearance and amazing sustian.”
NoLyfe says “Grave's abusers are kinda gay, if he doesn't get too far ahead you should be okay. Late game just r him if hes ahead , if he's not relevant, just r backline.”
DarkArbalist613 says “Graves overall is less mobile than Kindred, but he has high dmg, and his smokescreen can easily lose you fights, so just make sure to kite him out and play around his abiltiy cooldowns, because if you dodge his W and Q you outdmg him significantly.”
Date Me Lee Sin says “Graves gonna be very annoying, to beat him u need to focus to jump in first then use your ultimate to cancel his auto attacks,he will probably will go ninja tabi that will make ur burst smaller, after evolve Q u will see big difference. Versus Graves i recommend to pick Conqueror and Evolve R and Q in this matchup you can evolve W too so you can minimize his moovement speed.”
TimRhabey says “Graves é simplesmente impossivel de matar para o udyr, ele caita o udyr facilmente, tanka bastante e deixa o udyr cego , impossibilitando ele de dar AA.”
MegaAlphaDog says “Similar to kindred in the ability to kite you out, but a bit harder to deal with as his E passive allows him to be a bit tankier in fights. play for objectives instead of fighting early.”
GhostReaper87 says “This guy can invade you from lvl 1 and will keep invading you if he knows what he is doing.Try to lay a ward down on his red and see where he started so you can adjust where to start so you don't fight for same crab or worst case scenario he invades and kills you.”
One Stab says “His E passive, items and dmg make him a huge thread, besides him being quite strong rn. Go conqueror, try to squirmish early. Banning him is probably the best option tho. ”
Kamisore says “Just permaban him, his Grit makes it so he gets free armor so you can't 1v1 him, and if he W's a bush you can't leap and you also get slowed.”
Hide on Nidalee says “Skill Match too, this is a little bit harder than Lee Sin and Elise, but is winnable too, hmm, Graves is so tanky at lvl 3 so take care on scuttles”
DarkPit59 says “Graves dispose d'outils dévastateurs pour toujours gagner ses duels. Il dispose de très lourds dégâts et peut vous anéantir dès l'earlygame. Si son KDA s'envole, il sera difficile de l'affronter sans mourir. Enfin, prenez garde à son ultime lorsque vous fuyez avec peu de PV.”
SapphireLoL says “Graves can kite you, much like any other ranged jungler, however his smoke bomb can prevent you from ulting him when you need it most.”
D3str00 says “To be honest, fights with Graves all always equal. Trouble starts when he hit good smoke - you won't be able to hit Q properly, moreover You will have hard times hitting him with auto attacks, which is key to win early trades. In addition, because of his primary rune (phase rush) he is hard to track with your Q”
WickedPoppet says “You are looking to power farm much faster than he can. Always be on the move between camps, and try to grab scuttles way before he can get there. May be difficult at times, but you can gank harder at 6.”
agarandom says “As long as the Graves does not throw or run it down, you will most likely lose this matchup. Graves is a hardcounter to Rengar. If he uses his W on you, you cannot jump (since you can't see). He kites you too well and he has way too much armor to deal with. Ban this if you don't ”
SavageFy says “Graves' damage, mobility and clear time are an extreme threat for Amumu. You want to avoid him early game. Graves often looks to invade Amumu's jungle early.”
Sorrowful Prince says “Basically the same as Nidalee. Be careful of 1:25 and don't take early game skirmishes when he can countergank. Try to get stuff going when he is going for a full clear. You will inevitably fall behind in the midgame so everything before is an investment for you.”
Waffel136 says “Simply bann graves to avoid getting dominated, as it is very difficult to jungle against graves if you play rek'sai due to the kiting.”
GinWinsky says “If skilled, a Graves player will outfarm you and kite you to death. If he gets CCd by your box, then you win the 1v1. Can kill him easily after Duskblade.”
Ehxakt says “Pretty meta right now. Its just a threat when the enemy knows what he is doing. When played correctly you just get outjungled. Just perma gank then i guess.”
TrevorJayce says “Graves's kit is pretty insane into Rengar. 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. Regardless though, play around his blind and dance around his Q and you should win skirmishes.”
Sismanski says “Graves is another odd to fight against Champion. Not as bad as some others, but his Smoke can be annoying, if you want to dash around. You can't dash to what you cannot see.
Technically there still are many threats to Wu, even with this build. Especially CC and constant ranged poke can be hard to fight against. Basically if your team is getting poked to death, there is not much you can do.”
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. Otherwise you will easily win fights early hes weak so if you invade him or countergank him your almost guaranteed a free kill or flash. He got extremely weak ganks early and later.”
Nanfaza says “His clear is clean and healthy along with his burst also fatal if fed. His Smokescreen(W) really annoying since you can't Alpha Strike(Q) out of it.”
KajiKumihoAkukei says “Graves can be a very rough match-up if he gets an early lead, but if he falls behind even a little bit you can just eat him up.”
The Top Bear says “Skill matchup in his favor. Use your W to dodge his q and you can probably win the fight, however only if you hit the q. Try to fight with as much room as possible and don't confine yourself.”
urrb says “Graves is basically freelo against Kha'Zix. Unless he builds lethality and gets a lead before you fight him, he's generally pretty easy to beat. If you ever catch him isolated he's just dead. ”
SirEdgeLordYi says “he is kinda weak right now but can still outduel you if you are not careful enough. ( if you have a red buff you have the advantage over him)”
cutmeh says “His quick and healthy clear opens the potential for you to be invaded. Smoke screen is also annoying to deal with as it prevents you from jumping ”
0kruemlmonster says “Ghost recommended, he'll try to kite you. He simply deals more damage than you. Hyper late game you got him, but before that it's difficult.”
DonaldBinBaggin says “Hard to kill due to his E and items that he can build. Graves can outfarm you, walk into your jungle and beat you 1v1 early-mid game. Try your best to outgank this champion.”
Simphoria says “Scales decent, has quick and healthy clears. He can't really kill us but he can counter very well. Like Eve, be careful of his snowballing potential. ”
Mkcls says “Graves is 50/50 match-up. Don't try to fight him early, you should be able to outgank him. With recent buffs, he's a bit harder to kill so keep in mind that you lose long time fights with him.”
Fyurex says “The current meta is all about the early game. Graves is very strong early game. If you let him snowball he will become way too strong mid game and will one-shot your carries. try denying him jungle farm with counterjungling.”
LFS_aXent says “He is just as mobile as you, due to his auto reducing CS on his his dash and all. He may out damage you. My best advice would be to follow up if he is ganking. Always counter-gank, don't let him get fed. You win early.”
McDank says “He has very high damage output and clears camps very fast so he may try to counterjungle you whenever he sees you ganking, so try to make sure you have good vision in your jungle. ”
Mr. Nyahr says “Graves is fairly weak right now. You do what he does but better. Don't stand in his smoke and watch out for his Q. If his E is down, you have a window to punish him before it is up again.”
Laverenz says “Quite easy for Jax to kill. Graves relies on his basic attack, which you can just block ;). Also, he has no real escape move, except for his little dash. You can just run after him if he dashes, no problem. ”
Chromuro says “This matchup is really deceptive: I put it at 1, but it could be really anything. In early game he's manageable, one of his main problems is that he can be easily kited so your Q can stop any of his engages. If he get even slighly fed, he becomes a nightmare and he'll stick to you and kill you with ease. Stealing some of his camps could help you managing this threat”
4by3 says “Also a traditional Shaco counter, it's one of those champions that whether you both of you build full damage, even if you engage on him he will still kill you. Avoid him early he will invade a lot.”
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. Like most champions, he will outscale you, so be sure to make effective use of the early game.”
Yzroma says “Actuellement Graves est faible contre Vi, essaie de counter gank un maxiumum mais ne tente pas d'invade risquée car il peut temporiser sa mort.”
The Jhin Cena says “His smoke can screw up your aim for your Q so try and avoid that most of all. Also he could possibly dash out of the way of your Q so try and strike unpredictably or if you know it's down.”
Bombabo says “You will be hopeless against him until you're 6, and you will struggle against him throughout the game, due to his natural tankiness and crazy damage. If you're gonna go for him, be sure to make it quick, and expect to have to ult”
HAMMERSLAYER says “A very strong and active jungle pick that can 1v1 Xin Zhao at the right circumstances, he has very fast clear and will attemp to gank semi-extended lanes or he will just try to harash them in order to give an edge to his team during the early and mid game.”
Lil Trash says “He is easy to kill early on make sure you don't let him roam around freely in his jungle and let him cs mid game. Other than that he is an easy matchup”
xMalcho says “Don't fight him lvl 2 or 3 he is much stronger than you.Try killing him when you have ult and you can catch him sometimes when he is doing raptors he will be low on health.Try to ward his raptors or yours because graves players love taking raptors.Raptors <3”
Toad12138 says “A good graves can destroy you because 1, he can dodge your W easily with his E, 2, he beats you 1v1 easily early game and can invade your jungle constantly, 3, he outscales you late.”
quinceeeee says “Grave is ranged, mobile, high-damage, which is too much for a morde. He doesn't even need R to kill you, because you just can't touch him.”
Dayum Draven says “Graves has high burst damage so his damage is on par with you. His smokescreen is important because it denies your vision and every second counts”
abboz says “He is scary. His burst makes him very strong rn. Be careful not to fight him when hes fed. Use your e to zone him and use ur r and q to steal his dmg and armor”
Fruxo says “Dodge his Q whenever he tries to use it for wave-clear (If he use it). Try to dodge his smoke + R to avoid unnecessary deaths. And be careful of ganks, we don't want any deaths here.”
Twist21 says “His lvl 3 is stronger than yours , don't try to solo kill him in the jg but if your laners are stronger than his laners try to take 2v2 / 3v3 fights for the scouttle crab.”
BigBadVoodo says “Extremely hard matchup for us. We can never stay on him as he can kite all the time, and his dmg is pretty absurd. The only time we can even think of killing him is on his red at level 3, but if we make one mistake, it's over.”
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!”
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.”
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”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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. ”
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.”
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. ”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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. ”
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 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.”
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.”
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”
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.”
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.”
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!”
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.
”
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”
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.”
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”
