Draven hasnt seen a patch since they removed his bleed. Why should someone have one of the highest early lane damage + The one of the biggest snowballs + one of the highest late game damage out puts + a passive that will either make him snowball faster or catch up if hes behind?

I mean seriously you've nerfed almost every adc into the ground but refuse to nerf him. Why? Because of you think he is high skill? Syndra and leblanc are considered high skill cap champs but they still get the nerf hammer dropped.... I mean seriously all all he is missing is a gap closer and he would be completely 100% broken. Since he doesnt have it hes only 90% broken and thats why he wont get a nerf? He hit me with a Q empowered Auto Attack at level 1 and it did two bars of my health. I mean yes hes a niche adc because you have to micromanage your axes and know when to trade with him but thats not enough to not nerf his damage. He is a early to late game adc with a huge safety net. Please I will lose all faith in your company if you nerf another adc without touching him. Since his last "nerf" Jinx has been nerfed what 4+ times. Lucian what? 6+ times. Tristana. what? 5+ times and a rework. Twitch what? 3 times and is now so unplayable because of how weak he is he has a 1.7% play rate which is only higher then quinn, kog maw and urgot. Kog maw has gotten nerfed at least twice since draven's last nerf. Ashe has gotten nerfed twice reworked and nerfed again. Even miss fortune got nerfed since his last nerf and almost no one even plays her. Kalista has gotten nerfed twice and has only been out a few months, corki/cait/exreal have gotten multiple nerfs as well.

Trust me this is not a cry thread. Its the simple fact that draven was one of the strongest laners and duelists as far as adcs go before all of these other champions got nerfed. You are so caught up with nerfed meta picks that you have turned him into a monster. Unless the skill level difference of the adcs are bronze to diamond then draven will win lane and snowball. I mean seriously its like you entirely focus your "balance" changes on what will effect the lcs and ignore everything else. Please do something about these champions.

Draven most certainly does not deserve a nerf. He isn't op.

Draven is fine the way he is. If people at high level played him more and showed he was a consistent enough a threat to warrant a nerf, then he would get it. He hasn't really shown that, though. Sure he got played in the LCS this past week and showed how scary a Draven can be, but how I saw the game it was more a funnel all our resources into him so he can stomp the game type of game. For certain champions that get babysat so they can do exceptionally well, doesn't make them broken, it just means that the team is sacrificing someone on their team so that one champion can do better, usually the ADC getting gold at the Top laners expense. Most people know that he hurts and will be able to avoid getting harassed by him. His flaw is that he is a snowball champion. If he doesn't proc his passive, he doesn't cash in and get further ahead. Another flaw is that he is fairly short ranged for an ADC, making it harder for him to position safely in team fights against enemy divers. Even if he is able to get ahead, because of his short range he is less of a threat then say a KogMaw or Jinx later on because he is much easier to catch.

Rito won't nerf Draven because they're afraid of him, when they took out his bleed, he destroyed half of Ritos employees.
