Riot, lease give Draven his old passive. So hes actually viable in high Elo play.
Also so Darius and Draven the bloodbrothers can reunite. Whoevers thought it was to remove Dravens old passive, really upset a lot of people.

LOL no. His new passive is less aggravating to play against, and defines him as THE snowball ADC. It also fits his theme much better.
Too many Ezboys complained about the bleed,thats why it was removed in the first place lol
more salt cause you know its true, the exact reasons he isn't played in LCS is his passive alone. if its a close game and he has a passive that just gives him gold he has a useless passive. disagree if you want but even professional players want old draven back, downvote more salts.
there is a challenger player who mains draven, so saying he's not viable in high elo is just wrong.
well i cant agree that hisold passive was good (not noticeable, it had some impads early but lost it late)
but his current passive sucks
for draven the game is either about snowballing out of controll or die trying, this basicaly forces him to go out thetre and get his ass kicked
thats why high elo does not pick him, because in order for draven to be effective they would need to give enemies the capability to kill him
He is not the easiest adc to play, dropping your axes= no dmg, no hard mobility, his dmg is good only vs squishy champions, itemisation was better for him before the IE and BT changes.
I think he's fine how he is tbh.
He's not played because he's pretty feast or famine and you'll notice the trend in higher elo's is to take less risky champs and play safer ones extremely well. Draven is one of the few champions in the game who's truly unmanagable fed, I'm no Draven pro but even in the few games I've played it's easy to see how strong he can be played to his full potential.
His passive rewards an aggressive play style, this means you can't play safe with Draven if you wan't to get ahead but aggressive means you're more prone to mistakes and your opponent capitalizing, that's balance.
For how strong a champs potential is their ability to get there should be more difficult, safer Draven is not a fair Draven.
His damage is insane both early and late (if you destroyed early game that is). It adds to his awesome snowballing and rewards you on how effective you play him. Besides, it suits him perfectly.
He IS viable in higher Elos, in the right situations.
He will just become permaban, because laning vs him would be too annoying. I think that he needs a new passive (this one is too snowbally or completely useless, if you don't get any kills), but not more damage/
