Is Thresh better when played alongside Graves?

There is no one best companion for Thresh that will 100% of the time be his top teammate. However, Graves is a very typical ally for Thresh. By playing on the same team as Thresh, he raises their win rate by 0.8% to 49.3%. This shows that there is not really a strong bond between Thresh and Graves that results in them performing better together than without each other.

Graves has a much lower diffuclty than Thresh. That means you don't need to be cautious when enlisting Graves comrades to play with, as they will need a much lower level of skill to be able to fight well with you.

Playing together, Thresh players will likely witness an overall large increase in your team’s capability to dish out massive AD. Combined, these champions can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.

Conversely, by bringing Thresh and Graves together, you probably will not be providing your other teammates much magical damage output. We recommend you include other champs on your team that offsets this relative gap in their potential.

Regardless of your Graves ally's ability, you should focus on maximizing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
