EDG Graves

After maining Graves for three seasons with over 500k mastery points, I finally got my hands on EDG Graves and honestly, it's become my go-to skin over even Sentinel. The World Champions 2021 skin feels incredibly smooth compared to other Graves skins, especially when you're animation canceling your auto attacks between abilities.

The Q feels way more responsive than base Graves, and the smoke particles don't clutter your screen during teamfights. But what really sold me was using it in a baron pit fight yesterday where I could actually see enemy skillshots through my W smoke screen, something that's always been an issue with Pool Party. The ult has this satisfying kickback animation that somehow makes the hitbox feel clearer, and I've been landing more max range ults since switching. My experience with EDG Graves has been mostly positive, though the reload animation takes some getting used to if you're coming from Crime City.

Is EDG Graves worth it for fellow one-tricks? Absolutely. The skin isn't pay-to-win but the cleaner animations genuinely help with kiting and orbwalking. I've tried every Graves skin except Victorious, and this one probably has the best clarity for competitive play. The exclusive nature makes it feel special too, knowing it celebrates EDG's championship run. And the recall animation where he sits on the throne never gets old when you're fed and want to tilt the enemy team. If you're serious about climbing with Graves, this skin won't make you suddenly pop off, but it definitely won't hold you back either. Worth grabbing before it potentially vaults.
