Shaco vs Graves Matchup Summary

The Shaco vs Graves matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 62 recent matches analyzed, Graves wins with a 53.2% win rate compared to Shaco's 46.8%, giving Graves a 6.5 percentage point advantage. Graves dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights.

The most significant statistical gap is in CS, where Graves leads by 0.8 CS/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Graves has a strong advantage in this matchup. Shaco players should play defensively, prioritize safe farming under tower, and look for opportunities created by jungle pressure or Graves 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.
