Graves vs Vi Matchup Summary
The Graves vs Vi matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 68 recent matches analyzed, Vi wins with a 55.9% win rate compared to Graves's 44.1%, giving Vi a 11.8 percentage point advantage. Vi dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Graves 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. Vi has a strong advantage in this matchup. Graves players should play defensively, prioritize safe farming under tower, and look for opportunities created by jungle pressure or Vi 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.
