Diana vs Graves Matchup Summary

The Diana vs Graves matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 228 recent matches analyzed, Graves wins with a 56.6% win rate compared to Diana's 43.4%, giving Graves a 13.2 percentage point advantage. Graves dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Diana players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Graves leads by 0.3s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Graves has a strong advantage in this matchup. Diana players should play defensively, prioritize safe farming under tower, and look for opportunities created by jungle pressure or Graves overextending. Avoid prolonged trades and wait for team fights where positioning and coordination matter more. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Damage
704Diana
837Graves
