Graves
Champions that beat Graves
- Amumusupport
Bandage Toss (Q) lands during the Quickdraw (E) reposition window before he can reset stacks. Curse of the Sad Mummy (R) stun eats his Smoke Screen (W) disengage timing, and your ADC plus mid rotate before End of the Line (Q) detonation.
- Dianajungle
Diana wins extended duels in his jungle. Pale Cascade (W) shields one End of the Line (Q) rotation, then Lunar Rush (E) resets on the Crescent Strike (Q) mark for a re-engage Quickdraw (E) cannot kite away from.
- Dr Mundojungle
Infected Bonesaw (Q) percent-HP slow from 975 range chips Graves outside Quickdraw (E) retreat angle. Smoke Screen (W) only nearsights, so the passive stays down — walk out instead. Maximum Dosage (R) regen absorbs the End of the Line (Q) trade and leaves Mundo ahead on health.
- Fiddlesticksjungle
Terrify (Q) fear chains through Smoke Screen (W) vision denial since it is point-and-click; Under Crowstorm (R), the Bountiful Harvest (W) drain heals him through the whole shotgun burst. Reap (E) silence cancels End of the Line (Q) detonation.
- Gwenjungle
Skip 'n Slash (E) auto-resets close the gap fast through End of the Line (Q) cone, and Hallowed Mist (W) denies the New Destiny (P) shotgun target during his reload window. Snip Snip! (Q) true damage shreds his Quickdraw (E) armor stacks in extended trades.
- Master Yijungle
Alpha Strike (Q) makes Master Yi untargetable mid-shotgun cone; Highlander (R) move speed kites Quickdraw (E). Once his items come online around minute 25, his on-hit damage outscales a lethality Graves, and Quickdraw (E) armor no longer holds him off.
- Nidaleejungle
Javelin Toss (Q) outranges End of the Line (Q), and the Quickdraw (E) armor stacks do nothing against it because armor does not reduce magic damage; Aspect Of The Cougar (R) Pounce (W) gap-closes during Graves reload window before he can re-pellet at point-blank range.
- Sejuanijungle
Fury of the North (P) passive and Arctic Assault (Q) lock Graves at melee range; the New Destiny (P) shotgun burst cannot cut through her stacked health before Glacial Prison (R) chains the stun. Permafrost (E) slows the Quickdraw (E) reposition dash.
- Talonjungle
Graves's only repositioning tool is Quickdraw E which leaves him stuck in melee after the dash. Assassin's Path E vaults into his jungle from a brush angle he cannot ward, Talon lands on him mid Smoke Screen W cloud.
Champions Graves beats
- Jarvan IVjungle
Demacian Standard (E) plus Dragon Strike (Q) flag-and-drag commits on one target; once spent on a tank Graves bursts him at point-blank with New Destiny (P) pellets. Cataclysm (R) walls can be exited via Quickdraw (E) dash before the knockup chains.
- Kaynjungle
End of the Line (Q) AOE explosion punishes Kayn during the pre-form weak phase, and the Smoke Screen (W) blind makes the autos after Reaping Slash (Q) miss. Quickdraw (E) dash matches Shadow Step (E) mobility, and Collateral Damage (R) cone burst kills Kayn pre-transform.
- Lilliajungle
Graves beats Lillia at scuttle with End of the Line (Q) AOE explosion while she has to walk into Q hitbox. Smoke Screen (W) blind cancels Lillia's auto chain follow-up, and Quickdraw (E) reset dashes through Watch Out! Eep! (W) AOE during Collateral Damage (R) burst.
- Qiyanajungle
Graves's Smoke Screen blinds Qiyana's empowered Royal Privilege passive auto proc, denying her trade burst window. The Quickdraw dash and the End of the Line cone out-trade her brush approach before Audacity even lands.
- Quinntop
Quickdraw (E) armor stacks tank Vault (E) knockback burst window, and Smoke Screen (W) denies Heightened Senses (W) reveal. End of the Line (Q) detonating on her interrupts the Behind Enemy Lines (R) channel before she can reposition.
- Rengarjungle
New Destiny (P) 4-pellet burst at point-blank deletes squishy assassins; Quickdraw (E) armor stacks tank empowered Savagery (Q) before he can reset bushes for a second Thrill of the Hunt (R) jump. Smoke Screen (W) blocks the bush vision he needs to leap.
- Taliyahjungle
Graves's Smoke Screen W nearsights Taliyah, blocking her vision outside the cloud while it slows her inside, and End of the Line Q detonation damage shreds her HP before she can E-stun him. Quickdraw E dashes him outside her W displacement angle.
- Vijungle
Cease and Desist (R) commits on one champion — once spent on a frontliner Vi has no second engage, and End of the Line (Q) plus Collateral Damage (R) bursts her down. Quickdraw (E) armor stacks tank Vault Breaker (Q) charge windup damage.
- Warwickjungle
Graves End of the Line (Q) and Collateral Damage (R) poke Warwick from outside Jaws of the Beast (Q) 365 range. Smoke Screen (W) blinds his attacks and blocks his sight of the target, while Quickdraw (E) dash kites the Blood Hunt (W) movement speed window.
- Xin Zhaojungle
Quickdraw E dashes Graves out of the arena and Smoke Screen W blinds Xin Zhao's Three Talon Strike autos so the third-hit knockup never lands. End of the Line Q chunks Xin through his Determination heal at extended range outside Audacious Charge.
