Battle Academia Graves Review
Most skins in League of Legends are combined into a series of skins on the meaning and appearance. There are already more than 50 such series, and for each series in the future I would like to make my own review, where the best and worst representatives of the series will be, but today we have one of the representatives of the “Battle Academia” series released on May 15, 2019 – Battle Academia Graves or Battle Professor Graves on our review. Greetings to all League of Legends fans, and I will begin my review.
Lore
In the world of Battle Academia, Graves is a former member of the Durandal army who later became a professor at the Academy. His vast combat experience has come in handy at the Battle Academy, though Graves himself is not very happy with his new job, preferring to face opponents rather than train new soldiers.
Concept and Inspiration.
Guardian of Knowledge is how you can briefly describe this skin when you see it for the first time. Well, the developers did a lot of work to create this skin. You can see that they worked on it. So, on Graves you can see the goggles and usually the suit. However, his weapons and armor are a game changer, and you can tell that Battle Academia Graves will sweep away everything in his path. An interesting solution from Riot!
We could talk about the animation of the return for a very long time. So, something that looks like a blackboard appears in front of Graves. He’s writing mathematical formulas on it, and paper airplanes are flying around. It all looks unusual, and it looks like he’s in the academy at this point.
Design, Sound Effects, and Animation
Graves’ skin from Battle Academia has a new model and texture. He wears his new Battle Academia regalia and a shotgun to boot. The skin contains new particles and SFX to match his updated arsenal. Graves’ recall animation has been updated, and players are warned to be careful with paper planeswalkers.
The Battle Academia skin has everything a LoL player in 2023 needs who wants a good skin in their inventory. There are animations along with redesigned SFT, a redesigned look, presenting Graves in the unusual appearance of an Academy professor in a matching burgundy uniform with a new shotgun in his hands. All of the action animations, unique features, and recreations have also been completely redesigned and now Graves has a pile of books and a cup of coffee in his hands as if he were late for another lecture to the student candidates.
Unique Features
There are so many updates to Battle Professor Graves that I’d like to write them all out below:
- An updated appearance depicting Graves as a Battle Academy professor. The armor and cloak have now been replaced with the professor’s uniform, emphasizing that this is not just an Academy, but first and foremost a forge of new soldiers.
- The action and recal animations have been completely updated. Now returning to the base, Graves begins to write something on the board, shooting off the paper planes around him at the same time.
- Updated unique skill animations and all SFX elements.

Gamers Feedback
League of Legends community appreciated this skin and the new unusual image of Graves. Also, players have been found one strange detail when using it, when Graves makes 3 shots on the paper airplanes, although his weapon can only make 2 shots, entertaining! Below I want to give you some feedback from real LoL players about Battle Professor Graves aka Battle Academia:
“I dont like the fact that i dont even play graves but i want to buy this”
“These skins homerun animations are national treasures.”
“The animations are insane.”
“The VFX and particals looks like in anime, u can notice that especially in his ult”
“He looks like an Adventure Quest character.”
“His homeguard jog reminds me of Iida from hero academia”
My Feedback
I liked this skin, it looks like a pretty decent alternative to Graves’ already great classic image. The brutal soldier, who is used to relying on his shotgun rather than luck, has been replaced by the image of an elegant professor at a prestigious academy in a great uniform in a not quite standard color. The abundance of good Graves skins is sometimes dizzying, but Battle Professor Graves is certainly not lost in such abundance, so you can safely add it to your collection if still in doubt. In the dynamics of the match, the skin looks very worthy.
Conclusion and Rating
If the main factor in refreshing your gameplay on a champion is its fully transformed appearance, then Battle Professor Graves was made just for you. The completely redesigned champion concept, where Graves – a mercenary who loves to be in the heat of battle – is replaced by an elegant Battle Academy professor, is definitely worth your attention. The addition of new SFX and VFX will make you forget you’re playing Graves! I give this skin a score of 7 out of 10 for its unusual appearance and unique animations. I recommend to buy this skin.
