Graves Counter Guide

Stay behind minions and monsters to block Graves' auto-attacks, as they consume bullets and reduce his damage output. When fighting near Scuttle Crab, position it between you and Graves.

Avoid fighting near terrain, as Graves can use walls to make his Q explode faster for increased burst damage.

Group against Graves to minimize his impact, as he struggles against multiple targets. Apply CC whenever possible since he's vulnerable when immobile, despite having his E dash and R ultimate.

Mid-Game Strategy:

• Avoid walking alone through unwarded areas
• Counter his split-push attempts by forcing 5v4 team fights
• Match his wave clear to limit his gold income

Key Power Spikes:

• First completed item
• Level 6 (Ultimate availability)
• Late game scaling with gold advantage

Strong Counters:

• Ahri
• Ekko
• LeBlanc

Counter Tips:

1. Stay with allies to prevent isolated picks
2. Ward jungle paths to track his movement
3. Coordinate CC to lock him down in fights
4. Match his wave clear to prevent free farming
5. Force team fights when he's split pushing

Easy Ways to Counter:

• Group early and often
• Control vision around objectives
• Focus him when his dash is on cooldown
• Pick champions with reliable CC
• Build armor items early

Bad Picks Against Graves:

• Immobile champions
• Squishy targets without escapes
• Solo-oriented champions without CC
