Why is Draven such a shitty champion?

Like I thought he was good, I usually do very well with him, and get fed sometimes. But I NEVER WIN with him. I swear to god my win rate with Draven is higher when i'm negative than when I'm really fed. Is Draven just that much of a shit champ that he can't carry even when fed??

...because you can't translate your personal success into tempo for the team by securing objectives during your power spikes?

No, that can't be it. Draven must be bad.

I dunno Draven is the strongest adc all around how ever his biggest weakness is if he gets no kills during laning he will fall offf bad. Lol I like to get triforce because it procs off his q. So basically a 1v1 combo qw ultimate and there dead lol. Runaans works on him as well.

Runaans does not work on him, and tri force is pretty bad too.

A runaans does work on him every time he qs and catches it so I don't know what your talking about and tri force is a 1v1 thing. Everytime you press q and I mean press it it procs it. Same reason Vayne is good with triforce everytime she tumbles it procs the damage. But runaans is fine on him

An item like runaans that is pure attack speed makes him lose SO much burst and DPS.

Tri force is bad because of how Draven works. You're supposed to catch the axe not activate, drop, activate. So in a real 1v1, you activate Q once and that's all tri force has for you.

It gives him 30 measily AD which is worse than most items he could build. A draven that builds normally would crush a draven building triforce and runaans.

Vayne can work with tri force because she doesn't scale off of hard AD like draven. She needs attack speed, tri force gives that. And tumble's cd is extremely tiny late game which is when she gets tri force.

But you would get the tri proc from Ws after each spinning axe for extra burst, not from dropping the axe and using Q again. I'm not saying it works, just pointing out that you can get the TF proc on every spinning axe from Ws. He can proc it way more than Vayne for as long as his mana holds out.

Oh I see what you mean.

In that situation, you're running a huge Risk in that if you dont catch the axe, you lose. You're missing all that AD from a normal item so normal AA will do less, and have to catch EVERY axe. His Q just scales harder with huge AD, and also the axes can come back too fast for Tri Force to come off CD. It's not a build that will make you useless, but definitely one that lowers your effective DPS.

Yeah, for sure. I wouldn't ever do it in 5s as an ADC, but it might actually be pretty decent as a solo laner in Twisted Treeline. The movement speed, mana, phage proc, hp, and spellblade would all be really useful for him in that meta.

Runaans is not good on him. You want Damage on Draven. IE should be your first item. Giving up damage for attack speed neuters what he does, and that is severe damage on one person. You'd want attack speed solely from boots and Phantom Dancer.

If this thread is about Varus then I could understand, but Draven? No.
