Graves

Malcolm Graves is wanted in more places than anyone bothers to list, and that tells you less about a single crime than about a life spent gambling, stealing, and selling his gun across several cities and empires. He stands apart from ordinary outlaws because he lives by a code of criminal honor, and he enforces it himself, with a double-barreled shotgun he calls Destiny.

Back in Business with Twisted Fate

That code gets its hardest test through his history with Twisted Fate. They were partners at one point, split so bitterly that the falling-out became a story of its own, and have since mended things enough to make money together again in Bilgewater‘s underworld, where trust is scarce and workable partnerships scarcer.

Graves’ abilities all revolve around that shotgun and the restrictions it carries. New Destiny, his passive, sends out four pellets with each attack that stop at the first target they hit, and he has to reload once the chamber is empty, so where he stands against a group counts for nearly as much as how hard he hits. End of the Line fires an explosive round that goes off after a delay or when it strikes the ground or a wall. Smoke Screen blankets an area in fog that blinds anyone chasing him, while those caught in the first blast take damage and are slowed. Quickdraw propels him forward and grants a brief bonus to Armor and Magic Resist, paying off most when he closes in on enemy champions. His ultimate, Collateral Damage, takes the shotgun’s idea to its limit: one shell strikes hard and then detonates a second time to hit whoever is standing close by.

Graves plays as an ADC more like a duelist than a traditional marksman, and that fits a man who never wanted to work alone. He just needed a partner he could trust not to shoot first.
