Additional Graves Build Insights

LoL Graves players will likely find him to be a challenging champion to build out properly. You will notice that his build changes when he is up against either generic or highly focused team compositions, showing you shouldn't select the same Graves build every game of League of Legends

The most critical items to use in your champ's build are: Duskblade of Draktharr, The Collector, and Serylda's Grudge. Those who added these items in their gear had a much higher win rate than those who went for other Graves builds. Moreover, if you are trying to beat a well-mixed enemy team arrangement, you should strongly consider getting him the Precision, and Domination runes. In recent matches, he won the greatest fraction of his games when using these runes.

We set our Graves build guidance by examining 98,575 recently ranked League rounds with him selected. We only propose the best winrate Graves builds that were built by ranked gamers enough times for us to suggest them. With so many matches in our data, we are confident in our provided builds.
