Graves the Outlaw

Malcolm Graves is a renowned mercenary, gambler, and thief—a wanted man in every city and empire he has visited. Even though he has an explosive temper, he possesses a strict sense of criminal honor, often enforced at the business end of his double-barreled shotgun Destiny. In recent years, he has reconciled a troubled partnership with Twisted Fate, and together they have prospered once more in the turmoil of Bilgewater's criminal underbelly.

MetaBot Tips

  • Graves has less crowd control than most champions. This can make locking down kills or ganking for other players more difficult.
  • Graves tends to have a lower vision score than other champions. Make sure you are working to place wards and clear enemy wards.
  • Graves has a much early late game win rate than their late game win rate. Take advantage of this by playing aggressive early on and trying to snowball through kills.
  • Graves has a low base movespeed compared to many other champions. Play back towards your tower in lane, and consider early game boots when fighting skillshot-based laners.

Gameplay Tips

Playing Graves

  • Smoke Screen can be used both to escape and to set up a kill.
  • Using Quickdraw to get into range and delivering a point blank Buckshot can do lots of damage.

Playing Against Graves

  • Graves deals mostly physical damage so Armor is an effective counter.
  • Leaving the Smoke Screen's area of effect removes the harmful effect immediately.
