Ok this patch 7,17. Dudes wtf. I am not crying about elo or champs-Ornn seems fun. Actually I came back to play some ranked and normals and try this new guy for fun. Will I quit-probably in less than a week. Now on to the main point- WTF have you done with Draven. For fuck's sake. I have been gold at maximum on an euw account-as such I am no pro player or anything and I find it pointless BUT I have always enjoyed Draven and played him. Do I catch every axe and dodge skillshots? Nope. But I was decent. Now you are gutting his passive-75 percent loss of stacks. 25 gold for champ killed instead of 50. Vayne-now that is a late game monster. Here in this patch you say Draven needs to be shut down. Dudes, 300 stacks-lossing 150 was painfull and chances were you would not get back up. Yet you make it even worse-instead of 150 now you will lose 225 out of 300. I will remind everybody that this passive was a nerf and the old one was better. Now you are only increasing the nerf. Why can't you just give Draven his old passive back-it is linked to his lore and him being Darius's brother. They are the blood brothers damn it. I don't know who will play Draven now-this is atrocious.

As usual, due to my attention span, not going to draw up the statistics that present why he was such a problem prior to the nerf, but I will point out one very important fact. His early game was too safe. If he isn't shut down, anyone with the mind to farm properly with him will almost immediately outdo you if he happens to land a kill, and it will show very clearly as a result. It just becomes too much too soon.

Ok, Vayne can deal 12 percent of your max hp as true damage late game. Combine that with items and she ruins you. Cait can blow your lifebar if you step on a trap and then get hit by a net and another headshot. A dozen other adc's have mobility and can escape. They can farm as well,and even better than Draven and those who have mobility are much safer late game. How can draven match this-hight damage with a q crit and a passive that allowed him to get ahead IF he got a kill. That is why it was ok for so long. Ever since wicked blades got removed Draven is weaker. They buffed the passive from consuming half the stacks to consuming all the stacks because he wasn't getting an edge. Besides once you get full build this "super OP" passive becomes useless. Tristana will still have a ton of range+ her bigger mobility, Vayne will chase you with high ms, Cait will have her headshots. And Draven will have nothing. This is the thing-his passive is an IF thing-he has to kill you to get it. And he will get what-1500 gold at the end of the game. He was supposed to be like that when reworked. He had a good passive-bleed like his brother Darius and it was thematically awesome. The Blood brothers-that exists for a reason. They removed wicked blades-was too op they said and made him into this guy who has a passive with 0 combat power. Full build draven vs full build cait-cait has 5 skills at her disposal and draven has 4. If he kills cait he will get gold but he is already full build-no use. A competent Draven will still land that kill and will get less gold. That concerns skill. And Draven is hard to master,so they could keep this passive as good as it was. I really don't want the changes reverted, a want a new,thematically competent passive. He is an executioner. Give him a bleed like his old passive, or an increase in damage to low health targets. Something like that. This passive is inferior to his old one-Wicked blades and it is a nerf. Now you are just making that nerf even bigger. YokoNomi, you can go to some archived boards and see how many people were crying about wicked blades being removed. Cool,all people who play Draven and like him- from bronze to challenger got over it. But this is just to much.

I feel like you're underestimating something that wound up not only being a power house with his initial passive, but also with the passive they replaced it with, and were forced to nerf due to said power. I'm also not understanding why you're saying a competent Draven would get less gold. The whole point of the passive is to farm accurately, and then kill. If someone's rushing kills before trying to farm appropriately, they aren't being competent, they're being overly rash and are not using the passive to its full effectiveness.
