Warwick vs Graves Matchup Summary

The Warwick vs Graves matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 115 recent matches analyzed, Warwick wins with a 53.0% win rate compared to Graves's 47.0%, giving Warwick a 6.1 percentage point advantage. Warwick 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.

Warwick players can confidently pick into Graves and play aggressively from level 1. Look to establish lane dominance early through favorable trades and zone Graves away from CS whenever possible. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Damage
622Warwick
826Graves
