Working together, you should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s ability to destroy wih physical damage. Together, these champions should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.
Although, by bringing Alistar and Graves together, you probably will not be granting your team a great deal of AP. We recommend you have other champs on your team that helps cover this relative gap in this pairing's playstyle.
Regardless of your Graves ally's ability, you need to focus on maximizing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you should do well, regardless.
