Im not level 30 yet but I know that when I do hit that level, I would want to play ranked as adc. Im confused on which adc to pick, and I have already played adcs like Vayne Twitch and Jinx. I like how a really good Draven can easily hard carry a team, but Graves is a lot easier to play and still do tons of damage. However, is Graces still a meta adc, or should I just get good with Draven? Please tell me who and why, thanks all!
SGT Dingle Berry1 votesGraves is not meta ADC, he is jungle. He CAN ADC but not nearly as good as the rest.
Mysticman891 votesWhy those two compared to the others you mentioned?
Dravens hard mode for mechanics and needs a serious investment to be ok at, much less hard cary with. Not a champion I'd recommend to anyone except masochists who have the draven tude to go with it.
Graves is mostly a jungler these days. You can adc as him, but why would you when you could play someone like vayne or jinx?
GD3RD1 votesAre there some tricks or tips that I can use to climb with Draven? Thanks in advance!
Mysticman891 votesI recommend against going forward with that.
But right, if you must Draven.
First, practice in bots/customs until you can consistently keep two axes spinning at all times when farming. The axes land in the direction you're moving, and it's not random like new draven players tend to think.
Then do that with a bot, and make sure you keep both axes spinning while chasing them down (ensure you're moving towards them between AA's so your axes land appropriately). Even fairly bad dravens can keep their axes going when simply csing, but when they actually go in on someone they promptly drop both axes, drastically reducing their damage output.
Remember your stand aside can be used to interrupt dashes if you're getting dove. Also be sure to aim your stand aside so it knocks enemies to an appropriate side, instead of aiming directly at them.
You have a global ult, so keep an eye out for cross map snipes. Also remember to reactivate your ult right before it hits the target to ensure you hit the target going in both directions.
GD3RD1 votessure will do, thanks!
OurLestrade1 votesThe sheer unreliability of Graves' damage in lane is why he's preferred in the jungle nowadays. Old Graves was my go-to ADC and one of my favourite characters lore wise, a shame that I can't play new Graves at all :l
