Draven Gameplay Update Maybe?

I had a thought about maybe a possible change to draven, hes my favourite adc to play but due to constant shifts in the meta to more tank oriented hes been one of those Hit or Miss champions and i had an idea...

Change it so that his Spinning axes automatically return to you on auto and he can have 2 axes at once... But Change his W so that you gain the short steroid attack speed, BUT when you press W it turns on the juggle. and Every time you catch an Axe you gain a short burst of speed. and When an axe is dropped then the effect would end. then keep the rest of his skills the same, im not sure how it would play out but it could normalize his play to where if you fall behind you have a chance to still be useful instead of another feeder on the team. you still have damage to dish out thats consistent. but if u need to kite in teamfights you can W and have the juggle effect for the movement speed buff. idk if it would cause visual errors where you wouldnt know if its on or not, or just not possible to do but i think its an option. :)

He would be too op with your changes, and they just tuned down the tanks for 6.8 which will result in slight meta changes. Chasing axes is a unique part of his kit.

Interesting idea but im not sure that would be so good. He would be really over powered and no one would really use his w. If you can get the damage from his q for free without trying to catch his axes than it would be free damage and make him extremely op. His base attack speed would need to lowered a lot so he is forced to use this new W you speak of.

Draven is still very strong but I think the changes that need to be implemented to help him would be in the game itself rather than him as a champion such as fixing the minion block so it is easier for people to go through minions or maybe just getting rid of it entirely since they got rid of people having the ability to walk through NPCs except in the case of building phantom dancer. Or maybe riot can just give us some boots that allow us to go through minions?

And as SRBLUD said, "chasing axes is a unique part of his kit," and i'm sure that riot would like to keep him that way.

I feel that minion block is the only real thing holding draven back. That is just my opinion though.

i mean i forgot to include to tone down the ad scaling on his Q, and well it does make him unique but i believe people would use the W for the burst of speed, maybe potentially lower his base movement

There is no good reason to reduce the most unique aspect of Draven.
