Overall, Graves sees a large worsening in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Qiyana. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN.

This change could indicate that Qiyana does not provide cover for him to dish out more damage or that her participation also helps increase the round's duration.

This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Qiyana.

This proves that there is a very bad synergy between Graves and Qiyana that allows them to perform worse together than without each other.

Qiyana has a much greater difficulty compared to Graves. That means you must be very careful when lining up Qiyana teammates to play with, as they will require a much higher level of skill to be able to play well with you.

When playing on the same side, Graves players should observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to destroy wih physical damage. When paired, these champions should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

Although, by bringing Graves and Qiyana together, you will not be giving your other allies a lot of crowd control. Plan to pick other champs on your team that nullifies this relative hole in their abilities.

Regardless of your Qiyana ally's ability, you should focus on increasing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well, regardless.
