How to counter GravesHow to counter
Counter heroes, counter items and the window to fight
Heroes that do best against Graves, the items that do best when Graves is on the enemy team, and the window to fight. Each number compares a hero's (or item's) result against Graves with its usual result, relative to how everyone does against Graves, so neither a strong counter-pick nor a strong Graves skews the list.
Their combo: Graves unearths a wall of Grasping Hands that immobilises you for 1s when you pass through it, then lets Jar of Dead’s Deadheads hit you while you’re stuck.
Beware: Don’t walk through the hands; she can rotate the wall to cut off your escape. Divers who get past her summons are her weakness.
