This signals that there is not really a strong strategic relationship between Graves and Vex that results in them performing not as well together than alone.

When playing alongside, Graves players should witness an overall large increase in your team’s capability to destroy wih physical damage. Combined, these two can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.

Although, by bringing Graves and Vex together, you may not be giving your team a lot of magic damage. We recommend you pick other champions on your team that offsets this relative disparity in their abilities.
