Draven needs some love towards his axes

Espurr VI··2 votes·711 views

Let me really blunt: Draven sucks. His axes are hard as fuck to catch and kiting is impossible. The movement detection for his axes is absolutely terrible. An example is last game, I was at maximum range while attacking a Vladimir. I throw an axe and immediately run backwards. The axe decides to fall where I was originally standing, which at that point was where Vlad was standing.

I get it, Draven is supposed to be a hard champion to learn. His damage is amazing and his passive, while really annoying when you can't get a kill, is quite nice for snowballing. However, the damage in his axes are what truly define him. Styling all over your opponent by juggling axes on their faces. There's a problem though. Those axes tend to want you to run into the enemy team. I have tried very hard to throw an axe and have it land behind me by immediately running backwards, but the motion prediction just doesn't seem to work. Another problem with his axes is it fluctuates from "Catching it while on the dead edge of the spot" to "Dropping it while literally inside the spot." And it's really frustrating.

Riot please fix these issues with Draven so he can claim the League of Draven once more.

Are you kidding me? He has one of the best win rates out of all ADCs. Draven doesn't suck, he's ridiculous when played right: He can kill carries in two hits, that's just bs.

This isn't asking for a buff. This topic is asking for his Spinning Axes to react to his movements better.

That's a buff.

It is a buff. It makes his damage more reliable (and already seen enough Dravens do absurdly good with how the axes currently work.)

One thing i hate about it is if you take the SLIGHTEST step in a certain direction unintentionally it will end up far off to whatever direction you did that...

It'd be dope if he gains movement speed when traveling towards where an axe would land.

(Draven 's my main ADC)

It's not Draven that sucks, it's you

And I'm 100% serious. His Axe mechanic is pretty spot on, every time an Axe lands somewhere unexpected its almost certainly because you messed up.

I'm 100% serious that I couldn't have clicked away from Vlad any faster and yet the axe still landed right where I wasn't going to be.

I don't think Draven's axes should show for the enemy. They lowered the skill floor on Lee, give some love to new draven players.
