Draven's Axes

Hi all. Since Draven was free this week, I decided to give him a go. The only questionable aspect of his gameplay that I have concerns about is the distance his axe lands from you in the direction you are moving. I know that you have to be moving in the direction you want them to fall at the time the axe strikes your target but I have a serious problem with this skill. Even at level 1 with base movement speed, if you start moving the moment you throw the axe and keep moving continuously without stopping, hoping to continue piling the axes on someone you chase, the axes fall behind you. I have tested this with bots numerous times and can confirm that if you start moving the moment you throw the axe and don't stop, the axes will undoubtedly fall behind you. It makes chasing someone and sustaining the axes nearly impossible because you have to stop briefly. I can't imagine how bad this effect must be with T2 boots that have the Furor enchantment on them or running around with a Phage proccing every time.

Is this an intended mechanic? It doesn't make sense why such an immobile adc can't have the most fundamental skill to his kit work seamlessly with basic movement commands. Can anyone enlighten me on how to play around this?

You are supposed to spam w when catching your axes. Gives you move speed and resets on you catching an axe.

Draven needs to spam his W and E for a chase. His R also makes up for his weaker chasing due to axe catching. Draven is overall fine but I wouldnt mind a few axe location tunings.
