The Ezreal vs Graves matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 5 recent matches analyzed, Graves wins with a 80.0% win rate compared to Ezreal's 20.0%, giving Graves a 60.0 percentage point advantage. Graves dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights.
