The Irelia Graves synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of her gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Graves, compared to her overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how her gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.
Overall, Irelia sees a large worsening in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Graves. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN. This decrease shows that Graves helps Irelia perform not as well in ranked League matches. Yet, the small difference indicates that this performance change is only marginal.
When Irelia tries to synergize with Graves, she observes a barely noticable drop in her complete damage output. This could demonstrate that Graves does not support by providing protection for her to dish out more damage or that his allyship also helps increase the match's duration. Similarly, when Irelia is played alongside Graves on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when she plays alone. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing synergisticly with Graves.
Moreover, when Irelia plays with Graves on the same side, she usually receives a little less damage than when she plays alone. Taking not as much damage could mean that Graves does a decent job of covering Irelia in teamfights.
