Wicked blades passive - Draven

Draven's new passive right now is retarded. Either you get a kill early game and you snowball so hard you can run this shit down mid and 1v9 the enemy team, or. You get camped under tower by enemy jungler, you die 5 times and become useless till about 40-50 minutes in game. It would just be more balanced to remove his new passive, add his old passive (Wicked blades) back and just nerf it. It would stop him snowballing incredibly hard, but makes it so he can't get behind incredibly hard. I get he is supposed to be a high risk high reward, but. Having to stay under tower because your getting camped 24/7 in fear of losing all your stacks is just unfun and makes your passive completely useless. It makes it to the point where in some cases he has way too much counterplay, and way too little counterplay if he snowballs.

And you can make this argument for any champion in the meta right now. I never even knew that Draven had a different passive other than League of Draven. I'd highly doubt that they would revert to a passive that was changed in Season 3.

Currently, I believe that Draven is one of the more balanced ADCs sitting at a 50% winrate in Ranked. You get fed, well there is less counterplay. I'd say the same thing for Brand, Caitlyn, Diana, Twitch, etc. You feed, well you are obviously not going to be as useful.

High risk, high reward. Simple as that.

Trust you have a support that will help you stay alive, and just try not to dive the enemy tower.

League of Draven lets Draven potentially buy himself another B.F. Sword if he plays well.

Wicked Blades (his former passive) gave him a free B.F. Sword's worth of bonus physical damage on his Spinning Axes and critical strikes at level one, and it only scaled higher from there.
