Who this champion beats in lane, and who beats it.Who counters Graves and who Graves beats
Graves is terrifying up close, but his whole game is built on getting and staying in that short shotgun range, and that is the hole you attack. His only escape is Quickdraw, a single short dash, and once it is on cooldown he has no real way out of hard crowd control. Lock him down with a long range stun or a point and click chain and he cannot kite, dance with his dash, or line up his wall bounces, and a squishy carry just melts. He also has no answer to a champion who out sustains his burst or out scales him into the late game, since his power is front loaded into the early skirmishing window. To beat Graves, bring reliable crowd control, enough durability to eat his first burst, or a scaling threat that survives his early aggression and takes over later. When you pick Graves, you are betting on winning fights early, so respect anyone who can stun you in place or simply outlast you.
