The Poppy vs Graves matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 10 recent matches analyzed, Graves wins with a 60.0% win rate compared to Poppy's 40.0%, giving Graves a 20.0 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Poppy controls the early laning stage, but Graves outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Poppy needs to press advantages before Graves reaches their power spikes, while Graves should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints.
