While trying out a few things, I gave Duskblade a try on Draven. I am still learning Draven, and i can keep 2 axes most of the time. JUst for fun I rushed Duskblade and Bloodthirster and Draven was 2 shoting champs with no crit.
What if you had a build like this?
How would the 3 shields interact?
LadyRenly3 votesI'm not sure if I am sold. As an adc, you should be attacking anything and everything that you safely can, with duskblade passive up, this forces you to not attack at all unless you want to commit or its on cooldown, that's not something I want to be gated by.

Keep in mind you need a large sample size. 1 or 2 games doing amazing doesn't mean much.
Woook3r1 votesDuskblade would be nice in lane because he can do about 75% of your hp with an auto r auto combo. Its also cheeper than infinity edge. So you can maybe even get it in time for a kill in lane.
Any two ad items are nice on draven if you are getting fed. It doesnt really matter if you have crit. You picked the right third item for fed draven as well, assuming the order reflects your build order. The other two items are fine as well. But what did Duskblade really give you outside of lane? You probably would have been better off building Mercurial in most games. It gives you more life steal and you can even bait yourself, especially with this build.
Ive also been experimenting with non-crit builds on draven. Its not the same, but its definitely a carry-able build if I know Ill get focused from the beginning of the game to the end. For a build like this, you want to emphasize the fact that you will survive long enough to deal dmg, rather than the fact that you will be dealing a lot of dmg (even though you will). You probably didnt win because of duskblade. If anything, it held you back.
