Every figure shows its source. Where a source is missing, the number is a placeholder — and it is never written as fact.

Ability details

  • New Destiny

    Graves' shotgun has some unique properties. He must reload when he runs out of ammo. Attacks fire 4 bullets, which cannot pass through units. Non-champions struck by multiple bullets are knocked back.

    Passive — never cast

  • End of the Line

    Graves fires an explosive shell that detonates after 1 second, or after colliding with terrain.

    Cost 80 ManaCooldown 13/11.25/9.5/7.75/6sRange 925

  • Smoke Screen

    Graves fires a smoke canister at the target area creating a cloud of smoke that reduces sight range. Enemies caught in the initial impact are dealt magic damage and have their Move Speed reduced briefly.

    Cost 70/75/80/85/90 ManaCooldown 26/24/22/20/18sRange 950

  • Quickdraw

    Graves dashes forward gaining an Armor and Magic Resist boost for several seconds. If Graves dashes towards an enemy champion, gain two stacks of True Grit instead. Hitting enemies with basic attacks lowers the cooldown of this skill and refreshes the resistance boost.

    Cost 40 ManaCooldown 16/15/14/13/12sRange 425

  • Collateral Damage

    Graves fires an explosive shell dealing heavy damage to the first champion it hits. After hitting a champion or reaching the end of its range, the shell explodes dealing damage in a cone.

    Cost 100 ManaCooldown 100/80/60sRange 1000

Counter plan — how to beat Graves

  • Close the gap early — it wins at range and at three items — neither before ten minutes

  • Punish the cooldown — Graves is exposed while its rotation is down

  • Ward the flank — vision is what turns its best opening into a worse one

  • Respect the spike — Riot rates the kit 3/10, so a practised player gets more out of it than the average

  • Trade on your terms — take the fight where its damage lands on nobody

Methodology

Data window
512,340 games on patch 26.16, Ranked Solo/Duo, NA. Last refreshed 20 Aug 2026.
Rank aggregation
Emerald+ and above, pooled. Splitting further leaves samples too small to separate a real effect from noise.
Role assignment
A champion is filed under the lanes it actually plays, not the one class it belongs to — which is why several appear in two.
Counters
A matchup, not a tier gap: how this champion does into that one specifically, over that pairing’s own games.
Minimum sample
The confidence indicator beside every rate is driven by how much of the window this champion appears in. A low reading means read the figure loosely, not that it is wrong.
Why a build is not a cause
The best-scoring build is the one the best-placed players happened to take. Correlation is what a rate can show; it is not evidence that buying those items caused the wins.
Where the numbers come from
Names, classes, lanes, abilities, items and runes are Riot Data Dragon. Win, pick and ban rates are derived samples — Riot publishes none of them, and nothing on this page presents one as measured.
