This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing synergisticly with Graves.

Is Tristana better when played alongside Graves?

There is no top champion pairing for Tristana that will always be her best ally. However, Graves is a very typical teammate for Tristana. By being on the same team as Tristana, he lowers their win rate by -1.0% to 47.9%. This signals that there is not really a strong strategic relationship between Tristana and Graves that results in them performing worse together than without each other.

Graves has a lower difficulty than Tristana. That means you don't need to be cautious when finding Graves teammates to go into battle on the same side as, as they will need a lower level of skill to cooperate well with you.

Fighting on the same side, you should expect to witness an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal physical damage. Combined, these champs can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.

In contrast, by aligning Tristana and Graves together, you probably will not be giving your other allies a great deal of crowd control. We recommend you pick other champions on your team that helps cover this disparity in their playstyle.

Regardless of the skill of your Graves ally, you need to focus on increasing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well, regardless.
