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.

Graves Tips

MetaBot Tips
  • Graves has less crowd control than most champions. This can make locking down kills or ganking for other players more difficult.
  • Graves has a much higher 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 more health regen than most champions, making their playstyle optimal for aggressive trades in lane.
  • Graves has more base attack damage than most champions, so they should be trading autos aggressively in lane.
  • Graves has a low base attack speed, which can make last hitting in the early game more challenging. It can also make percentage attack speed items scale less effectively than they do on other champions.

Graves Builds

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.
