Graves vs Yasuo Matchup Summary

The Graves vs Yasuo matchup is essentially a coin-flip matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 10 recent matches analyzed, Graves wins with a 50.0% win rate compared to Yasuo's 50.0%, giving Graves a 0.0 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Graves controls the early laning stage, but Yasuo outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Graves needs to press advantages before Yasuo reaches their power spikes, while Yasuo should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in sustain, where Yasuo leads by 671 HP/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Graves has a statistical edge, but the margin is close enough that respecting Yasuo's strengths is important. Trade when cooldowns are favorable, track the enemy jungler, and build toward your strongest item spikes to convert the slight advantage into a decisive lead. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Damage
699Graves
996Yasuo
Yasuo heavily out-damages Graves by 298 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Graves should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Yasuo's sustained damage advantage take over.

Yasuo provides 0.3 seconds more crowd control per minute than Graves, offering better gank setup potential and slightly more team fight utility. This CC advantage helps Yasuo coordinate with their jungler and control the pace of skirmishes.
Sustain

1,601Yasuo
Yasuo vastly out-sustains Graves, healing and mitigating 671 more damage per minute.

Yasuo late game win rateYasuo57.1%

Graves dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 66.7% win rate — a 33.3 percentage point lead over Yasuo. This lopsided early game means Graves can dictate the pace of the lane from level 1, controlling trades, wave state, and river priority.

Yasuo is far superior in the late game (25+ minutes), boasting a 57.1% win rate — 14.3 points above Graves. Extended games heavily favor Yasuo, whose kit and scaling make them a dominant force in team fights and objective control.

This matchup features a dramatic power shift: Graves must aggressively press their early advantage and close out the game before Yasuo reaches their scaling breakpoints. If Yasuo survives the laning phase without falling too far behind, the matchup flips in their favor. Dragon and Rift Herald control are pivotal — the team that secures early objectives can snowball or buy time to scale.
