Key takeaways
- Current data slightly favors Graves, but the sample is too limited for a strong conclusion: Graves wins 55.9% of 68 games (95% range 44.1–67.1%).
- Both champions' overall Jungle win rates predict 51.0% for Graves; the result is within the margin of error of that, so this matchup mostly reflects the two champions' general strength.
- Graves usually wins the lane: 444 gold ahead of Vi at 15 minutes on average (67 games with a 15-minute snapshot).
- Graves players pick Precision far more often against Vi: 49.8% of their other Jungle games, 67.6% here.
How we calculate this
Games: ranked Solo/Duo and Flex games on the North America server from the patch shown. Remakes (games under 5 minutes) are excluded.
A game only counts when Graves and Vi played the same position on opposite teams, so roaming, lane swaps within a team or a champion merely being in the same game never count as this matchup.
The 95% range is a Wilson score interval. Confidence comes from how wide that range is: within ±3 points is very high, ±5 high, ±8 moderate, anything wider low. Below 20 games a matchup is not classified at all.
Expected win rate combines both champions’ win rates in this lane (same games and filters) with the log5 formula: E = A(1−B) / (A(1−B) + B(1−A)). Matchup effect = observed − expected.
"What changes" compares Graves's choices in this matchup with the same champion's other games in the same lane, and lists a change only when it is at least 3 points and statistically significant (two-proportion z-test, |z| ≥ 2, 20+ games).
Results are not split by rank: the sample per rank is too small for honest per-rank matchup numbers.

Best Graves Build vs Vi
Usual Graves build (Jungle)
61.7% win rate · 588 games
Against Vi
Not enough matchup-specific build data: only 17 of 46 Graves games against Vi carried a complete build, which is too few to recommend an item path from. Use Graves's standard build instead.
- Graves usually completes Scorchclaw Pup first, at 0.2 min (median of 53 games).
- Vi usually completes Gustwalker Hatchling first, at 0.2 min (median of 31 games).
- Skill priority: Q > E > W — the same as usual.
Builds are ranked by the lower edge of their win rate range, not the raw win rate, so a build seen in a handful of wins never outranks a proven one.
