What should Draven's "niche" be?

The boards actually complained enough that Riot nerfed Draven. From my understanding, his niche currently seems to be that he has good trading in lane and bad team fighting later unless he snowballs far ahead. This seems to be exactly his strength and weakness but the boards think this is toxic.

Okay, I'll put it to the boards then: If you don't like this design, what do you think should be his strengths and weaknesses compared to other ADCs?

Please keep in mind, the boards is not an entity. It's a collection of people all with differing opinions. It is misleading to lump us all into one group just because some people came here and raised complaints about a specific champion.

Sometimes players who don't frequent the boards get upset about things, when they do they will look for a place to voice their opinions about it. Hence why the boards floods with complaints about champions that become dominant. It's not the boards community as a whole that raises these complaints, it's also players who turn to the boards when they get stomped by that champion.

If "the boards" is not an entity, why are you trying to speak on its behalf? ;)

Note the lack of the word "we" ...

I am not speaking 'for' the boards. I'm speaking for myself, as a member of the boards. You misunderstood how the boards worked, I felt it necessary to correct your prejudice.

Nothing more, nothing less.

"The boards is not an entity" - incredible insight you have there, you might be the next Nietche! Nay! The next Plato!

You addressed it as an entity, not me.

his niche is he is a lane bully who has high early base damages

people dont like that...

they all wanna go ham and win at lvl 1 instead of learning how to play to their champs strengths and power windows /win conditions and play around their enemies areas of weakness and exploit those

He's short ranged and reliant on catching highly telegraphed axes to actually do damage. A lane bully that snowballs hard is pretty much the only niche he could possibly have.
