Graves vs Elise Matchup Summary

The Graves vs Elise matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 18 recent matches analyzed, Graves wins with a 66.7% win rate compared to Elise's 33.3%, giving Graves a 33.3 percentage point advantage. Graves dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Elise players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential. The most significant statistical gap is in CS, where Graves leads by 0.6 CS/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Graves players can confidently pick into Elise and play aggressively from level 1. Look to establish lane dominance early through favorable trades and zone Elise away from CS whenever possible. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Damage
809Graves
707Elise
