the Outlaw
Patch 26.20 · Stats from the 26.18 Master+ sample (5,318 games).
Graves, the Outlaw, fires four bullets with every shot and must reload when he runs dry, and Quickdraw dashes him forward for extra armor. Counted Master+ Graves players were junglers splitting Fleet Footwork and Dark Harvest, and Hubris into The Collector was the path bought far more than any other.

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
PNew 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.

Riot's notes from patch 25.S1.1 to 26.20 change Graves in 6 patches. The latest is patch 26.17, published 2026-08-25.
QEnd of the Line
Graves has had a number of indirect buffs over the last few patches and this has put him in a pretty strong spot. We are looking to soften a bit of his ability to snowball the game with high AD builds. Q - End of the Line
Base Stats
Graves has seen a ton of play since his True Grit buffs, and even though he's found pretty solid success with more durable builds, players are understandably still chasing those high roll crits to great results. Rather than rolling back his E buffs or pushing him further towards one build, we figured the best thing we can do is make his early clear and skirmishing a bit less consistent by dusting off an old wrench we haven't used in half a decade, though we are keeping an eye on his 4-digit autos!
EQuickdraw
Graves has a moderately successful lethality burst build right now, but it means he doesn't have much of a fallback pattern if he doesn't high roll a crit. We'd like to reintroduce his more durable builds of old by rewarding Graves more for maintaining Quickdraw stacks.
Base Stats
The functional result of these Graves changes should be almost nothing. He'll deal about 1% more damage with his basic attacks when critically striking.
Base Stats
EQuickdraw
We'd like to nudge Graves back toward having a strong sustained fight pattern and that means letting him rely on Grit and playing to stack it up. As he's getting this MR from Quickdraw, he can once again have the base magic resistance of a ranged champion. So, if you can catch Graves before he's able to stack up, he's more burstable than before, but if he's able to play the fight out the way he wants, he'll grow to be the sustained monster we all know and hate love.
QEnd of the Line
Graves is a fairly popular jungler that's performing decently right now, but his builds have devolved into one-shot lethality. We don't believe this to be a good state for him because his playstyle becomes one-shot or be one-shot which isn't fun for anyone. We think it'd be better for him to have a sustained combat pattern where skillful Graves players can utilize their Grit, so we're nudging his builds and playstyle around to make him less reliant on bonus AD. Overall this should net out in a small buff once this change has had some time to settle and players adapt.
Riot's data lists 14 looks for Graves with their own art, the base skin included and 40 chroma variants.

Riot Data Dragon 16.20.1. Growth curve: League of Legends Wiki — Champion statistic.
Graves, the Outlaw, is a Marksman champion in League of Legends. Riot rates the kit 3/10 for difficulty, 8/10 for attack, 5/10 for defense and 3/10 for magic. Graves spends Mana and has 14 skins with their own art. Graves's base attack speed of 0.475 is the lowest of 173 champions on patch 26.20.
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.
