How to Play with Graves as Lucian in LoL

The Lucian Graves synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of his gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Graves, compared to his overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how his gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.

Overall, Lucian sees a large worsening in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Graves. His KDA fell from NaN to NaN. This negative change shows that Graves helps Lucian perform not as well in ranked League matches. Yet, the small difference demonstrates that this performance change is only marginal.

When Lucian plays on the same team as Graves, he observes a barely noticable drop in his full damage output. This change could indicate that Graves does not provide protection for him to deal more damage or that his support also helps extend the match's duration. Similarly, when Lucian is played with Graves on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays without Graves. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Graves.

Moreover, when Lucian plays with Graves on the same team, he usually receives a little less damage than when he fights alone. Taking not as much damage may mean that Graves does a decent job of protecting Lucian during team fights.

Is Lucian better when played alongside Graves?

There is no top synergy for Lucian that will always be his best synergy. However, overall, Graves is a very typical ally for Lucian. By locking into the same side as Lucian, he raises their win rate by 0.2% to 49.0%. This proves that there is a weak synergy between Lucian and Graves that allows them to perform at the top of their game together than alone.

Graves has a much lower diffuclty than Lucian. That means you don't need to be very careful when finding Graves comrades to play with, as they will require a much lower level of skill to play well with you.

Fighting alongside, Lucian players should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s ability to deal physical damage. Together, these two can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.

In contrast, by grouping Lucian and Graves together, you will not be providing your team much crowd control. Plan to have other champions on your team that helps cover this gap in their abilities.

Regardless of the ability of your Graves ally, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you should do well anyway.
