Graves is one of the most popular junglers in League of Legends, so we are going to rank all of his skins!
The Outlaw known as Graves is a staple of the high-elo and professional jungle metas. With nine skins in his collection (plus one Victorious skin), there’s plenty of options for players. Let’s rank all of Graves’s skins in League of Legends!

9. Jailbreak Graves
Price: 975 RP
If you confused this skin with Graves’s base skin, I wouldn’t blame you. The Jailbreak skin is among the blandest, most boring skins in his collection. To add insult to injury, it’s not even among his cheapest skins.
8. Riot Graves
Price: 975 RP
A great idea with a lot of potential, but it just ended up being total trash. In theory, a skin where you replace his gun with a gas grenade launcher should work like gangbusters. In practice, it looks like a coat of paint and not even a good enough paint job to justify the higher RP price.
7. Cutthroat Graves
Price: 750 RP
Thematically, this skin isn’t nearly as strong as the Riot skin and it’s not as expensive. Those two factors push this skin ahead of Riot Graves, but not by much.
6. Hired Gun Graves
Price: 520 RP
It’s one of his original skins and it is the cheapest of the collection. Visually, it’s not much to write home about, but the cost puts it at the top of the lower-tier skins.
5. Crime City Graves
Price: 975 RP
Easily the best champion model on a “basic” skin that doesn’t come with any new effects or animations. The skin formerly known as “Mafia Graves” just looks spectacular, with the Outlaw wielding a Tommy-gun and looking like a 1920s crime boss. For a basic skin, and even one that’s a bit on the pricier side, this skin actually justifies the price.
4. Battle Professor Graves
Price: 1350 RP
This is a bit of personal preference, as all the 1350 RP skins have the bells and whistles that make them worth buying. The Battle Professor skin is very nice looking, with some cool effects and a neat, new recall animation, but to me it’s just not that enticing. If you’re a big anime fan, this would be #1 on your list and I completely get that. It has everything needed to justify the price tag.
3. Praetorian Graves
Price: 1350 RP
Again, this skin justifies the price with all the new animations and effects. My biggest problem with the Praetorian skin is really the champion model. It just looks too blocky, almost like he’s out of Minecraft, and that’s really displeasing when compared to some of the other champion models.
2. Snow Day Graves
Price: 1350 RP
The Snow Day skins are incredibly underrated and the Outlaw’s is no exception. I really love that Riot transformed his shotgun into a snowblower set to reverse, and the snow effects on his abilities are just gorgeous to look at. This is a very fun skin that’s only available at certain times of the year, so grab it if you can.
1. Pool Party Graves
Price: 1350 RP
There really couldn’t be any doubt that the Pool Party skin was going to be at the top of this list. First of all, the flex on the splash art is just absolutely massive. Graves looks like Wolverine from the X-Men in the best possible way.
That’s reflected in the character model, as the champion model just looks beautiful in-game. The effects on his abilities, which transformed his shotgun into a giant squirt gun, are beautiful as well and the recall animation is great. Watching Graves jump off a diving board into the fountain is just one of the best recall animations in League of Legends.
