How are u supposed to play draven in late game if you had a bad early or you missed your power spike? I mean, as g4 player that used to be main draven, if you fail the early game you are almost useless during the late game team fights

qKlPenelope1 votesDraven bad adc, ezreal one of the strongest adcs, play ezreal
ThatsDaddyy1 votesplaying ezreal feels like playing an AD mage :(
OtterlyLost1 votesHonestly, you don't. Draven is a high risk high reward champion. If you flub your early game, I really dont think you should get to just come back. Not when you win your early game you just steam roll everything
datfatguy1 votesI think 
would be a decent buy on him as it makes it easier to farm up and get a ton of gold, which is what you want to do.
Draven at his full build is still insanely strong, no matter how bad you do in the lane phase. All he needs is the crits and lifesteal and he can probably kill someone in 2-3 axes.
Baby Ghoul1 votesEzreal is broken, but he's far from the only broken thing in this game if you haven't noticed.
Even among bot lane he's in very good company, so he's certainly not a pick to win champion. In fact, most people lose as him according to the stats. That doesn't mean he's not busted though. His safety is insane, especially late game.
While that's problematic, it just doesn't make up for how miserable the laning phase can be. He's easily bullied because he doesn't do a lot of consistent damage early game. So you won't be winning many trades either. I'm a Gold support, and I really hate supporting that twink. People say you can roam more easily with an Ezreal, but I just don't trust it with broken supports like Pyke and Lux out there.
As for Draven, he's one of the few champions left that is punished for missing his power spike. No flashy plays. It happens. You can't get it every game, but you're by no means irrelevant. The team still needs you and you're still a high value target. All you really have to do is group when you're supposed to and pay attention to objectives.
DeathBurst1 votesWell, you're not supposed to fail the early game at all, that's the thing. That's why I personally don't like lane bullies too much, they have very little options to come back into a game if they fail early, you bet almost the whole game on just the first 10 minutes.
That being said, what can you do? Farm up, prioritize not dying and get your items. Draven is still an ADC, even if he missed his powerspike, if he gets to 3-4 items, he still has a large DPS and can take towers. Don't die, hit whatever frontline is closest to you without endangering yourself, and just survive to be able to push objectives.
Basically, you lost the initiative, so now you have to be patient and wait for an enemy's mistake, but now the game is in their hands, not yours. The good thing is, in Gold, you can be sure there WILL be some mistakes. You just have to survive until then and seize the opportunity.
Cairo King1 votesI'd say gold and low plat fuck up a lot. So the games never over as long as theres no hard feeding involved and the game is played around team comp
Cairo King1 votesI'm a Draven otp and I'm in no means considering myself good (hardstuck g1/2), and I don't think draven "falls off" because he still is an adc. As long as you keep up in cs, don't feed, and if your team has some ap you should still be putting out damage, if you have a mountain drake, look to get pinks and sneak a baron or obj etc you'll one shot it. Draven can still 3-4 shot carries as long as you have the correct build , and as long as you position well you'll still dish out decent damage. In fact if you're behind it might be good for you because the enemy will probably focus somebody else. Even a late game vayne vs a full build draven will always lose a 1v1 unless shes got rb stacked and condemns you against wall. Never hesitate to go tabi on draven vs talon/khazix/yi. It will save you a lot, and the more you live the more damage you dish out.
I personally perma ban cait, so I can snowball lane. Typically always look for fb on the level 2 powerspike. Then enemy bot never expects it in this elo, however sometimes your support might not understand it so just tell them before hand, if they stay and your mechanics are average you will at the very least get one or two flashes, and a heal. Don't bomb your flash too unless its a for sure kill. Now you have their flashes down and look to tell your jungle, "freezing bot no summs free kill", and until then just harass. Draven always wins trades as long as your don't eat abilities or you're against a cait.
One thing harder to do on draven when you first start playing him is map awareness, make sure if you're shoving, that you ward and look at map every couple seconds. If you're ahead and comfortable with 2v3ing with the enemy jungler, shove. However if they have lets say a talon mid or a fed jungler, or even a non fed jungler that you're just not comfortable with, don't push because draven mains say you have to push. Better to freeze and win game rather than tilt and feed.
I recommend to watch jackspectra's league basics guides. He will tell you all about match ups and how to play alongside certain supports and how to properly cs trade, control wave, teamfight, etc.
Lastly I was told this by a Diamond player, learn to dodge and multi query op gg before games. I had a couple troll supports in champ select today and I'd rather lose 3 lp no mmr or even 10 lp no mmr than 18 lp and mmr. Dodging is an important skill as well, it takes patience but it's worth it. Even if you don't have a troll support but your comp doesn't match up to well, it's always safer to dodge.
Also don't tilt or flame, turn your chat off if you can't help yourself and turning it back on once you have a lead and want to make objective calls. People will listen to you that way, especially if you're carrying and don't say "Do baron monkeys". Nobody listens to a toxic player, if you're not muted by that point.
