Just looking for some real tips on how to counter 
in lane. I'd rather not be forced to hide and cs under turret just because a summoner learned really good and can catch axes doing that extra damage every shot, I don't have the mana to just throw at him to punish for catching that axe over and over. Any tips so I can stop cowering?
TheFallenShaw1 votesfirst you support or adc? second do you have cc? 3rd general tip, if he catches his axes then you know where he will be standing, if your a 
He's fucked.
TheFallenShaw1 voteshave support focus fire the area or cc and focus fire the area he's catching at. Ignore their support in this instance. The key to wining bot lane is really being on the same page as your support. same target, go in same time, retreat same time. you get that cordination down you win. Good way todo that is chat with your support pre game. tell then when i go in, follow me up hit the same person. If they get an attitude go dude its bronze, i didnt mean offence but you know how many dumb players their are here and i want us to win so i had to say it.
TheFallenShaw1 votesJust remember you don't follow them they follow you. You gotta be the call maker as adc bc you suply the damage. This is because there are some dumb aggresive supports that go in when their adc doesnt want that fight.
Omen461 votesI've been both. I don't own Varus. My cc feels unviable because he comes out swinging hard, and yes I realise where he's going for his axe.
TheFallenShaw1 voteswhat about 
I use those examples bc as an adc goes they out range him and can auto attack for free. Well cait does varus can poke anyone for free. thing about cc is, if its a stun... he can swing if he wants the first time you'll get 2 or 3 in. With focus fire from support he'll die before you even without stun.
Omen461 votesagain, I'm not an adc main. It's the worst when he's the last pick and draft and I can't just go about buying every other champion to counter main metas XD if you want a real point of view, I have:

I think Cait can work, if you utilize max range while he's going for CS. You just have to be very very careful about his hard CC and his support.
You won't necessarily have to farm under tower if you keep the wave even while majority of the time closer to your side for safety.
Your range can potentially beat him once you reach BF sword, his IE spike is a lot more than yours imo though. So you only have specific windows to abuse him with your range.
But your traps and E also do well with keeping Draven down.
But TBH, life steal + warlords draven is just a little too nutty.
Draven is good in lane though vs low elo players, since he pretty much outdamages and punishes each and every death with his passive and insane damage. He can just go to pound town if he has decent awareness and mechanics with Draven.
DemainaNyx1 votesDepends on the champion you have. Personally I take Caitlyn into Draven simply cause when he pops his W to go in for a trade, I can minimum EQ auto to chunk and possibly dodge his damage. If you are really good, you can even WE auto Q auto (if the trap catches) for an even better trade. Granted, you are trading a lot of mana to counter his engage, but it's something.
The other thing is look at your minions and trade when he's going to go for CS. If his axe is going for a minion, it's going to be a second or so before he can turn on you.
Stephen The G1 votesVarus is great against him along with hook supports like thresh and blitz anyone with a counter engage is great leona is particularly good as a support once he has BF sword though you can 1v1 him unless your fed his power spike is insane with bf sword so watch out
