So you're telling me a champion that's designed to do damage and is gated by lack of mobility does a lot of damage?

We're telling you a sustain DPS carry is out bursting assassins and burst mages. You seem to be gated by the lack of a brain though.

He is doing a lot of damage because he's supposed to. Him doing more than assassins and burst mages isn't a Draven problem, if you could even call it that and not false statements.

U clearly don't know what ur talking about.

The only way he outbursts assassins and burst mages is if he's fed. I don't know why this is so difficult to grasp, but if someone is 4000+ gold ahead of you, they should do more damage than you, almost regardless of their kit.

At level 13 with 3 items. 2 Draven Axe autos+R+W will do 2400 Damage armor runes ect At level 13 with 3 items. A Zed R triple Q E will do about 2050 damage before runes ect

sachop1 votes

That's an over exaggeration. There's no way two Draven autos do as much damage as a Zed combo at equal gold.

This is a troll right? Because this can't be a serious opinion lmao. As much as I hate saying this to people, just shut the fuck up, build tabis first item and he becomes useless. But then again I don't know if this is a troll or not, +1 bait.

Wow its almost as if he's like a lane bully what in the fuck?

Playerbase: wait you reworked talon but this champion just throws two axes at you with shiv followed by immediate R and 100-0s any single squi... aw who even cares at this point.

Short answer: Meathead mains him with 30k viewers and constantly screams about how bad draven is and how underpowered the ADC role is

Long answer: Meathead mains him with 30k viewers and constantly screams about how bad draven is and how underpowered the ADC role is

Bronze low elo player, please dont touch the boards again.

Its almost like he hasnt been buffed for like a year and none of decent players think hes overpowered or even a good tier adc in this meta?

Its almost like hes supposed to be a lane bully?

Its almost like hes hard to play, is super immobile, so he has a lot of damage to compensate that?

Ffs riot please make players who are only atleast Gold+ to be able to post on boards

Only if you let him farm and you don't learn how to play against him. Lock jinx against him and get a support that can disrupt his movement while he's trying to catch axes. Literally just bully him early. It's not hard.

Beat him with ANOTHER ADC ! WOW GENIUS !! :OOOOO

GodlyBane3 votes

i agree with you, hes extremely easy to beat, since when the axe is falling, its easy to predict where he is going, not to mention draven is a typically hard champ that not many can master or even know how to play..

Jinx will get completely destroyed in lane. There is nothing that can compete with his 120 damage autos at level 1, and 200+ when he gets his 1st item 1038

Press E or W and you can kite him, not counting supports.

The sad thing is that recall being able to bully her too. However her rockets outrange him right? and she has better cc in her kit right?

I'm currently maining jinx and I will say that this lane is 100% in dravens favor throughout lane unless the jungler intervenes. Build dorans shield and play safe, avoid trades and poke when he goes in for cs or land a w where he wants to catch axes. But this usually won't even amount to much because if you make a single mistake in poking him and he is level 3 he will all in you for half your hp with 2-3 autos. So it's usually best to just chill and farm and try to scale. Good news is you completely shut him down out of lane as long as he didn't get fed from you or your team. But that's kinda what happens to draven anyway if he doesn't get ahead.

Jinx + Braum / Lux / Thresh / morg

Drop E where your axe is going, Auto, auto, auto, W. Support locks down again. Mechanical players who aren't retarded will always outplay draven.

would only work against a literal caveman, any half decent draven player would not fall for that, and even if you somehow manage to E where his axe will land not taking into account that your E takes about a second to be active the draven would simply just not grab that axe, go around your E and activate another Q instead

Sharp Chedarr3 votes

Sure hes hard in lane but if he dies, hes ridiculously behind due to his passive. He might need a small nerf, but it isn't that necessary.

Kaìju3 votes

Nerfing early game ADC lane bullies into the dirt is exactly how you end up with Vayne and Kog having stronger early game. You guys said the same thing about Cait and once she got nerfed Twitch really shined because a huge lane bully stopped being a lane bully.

Lord of Math3 votes

As a former Draven player I can tell you that a majority of his damage comes from being ahead. Make him really work for his passive, if you know he is going to get the kill, then see if you can focus him down so that he loses his passive stacks. He is a snowballer, early jg pressure from the likes of Rammus Warwick Graves can easily make life hell for him. Not to mention having a support to make his life miserable Blitzcrank Bard . Pick one of those ADC with burst to kill him before he can kill you like Tristana MissFortune. Poke him down so he cannot go in for a trade without risking his life. Yes he is crazy strong, but only if you do not play against him properly. MasterYi Singed Mordekaiser all can do crazy shit, but have clear weaknesses.

so 3 of 17? and those 3 are easier to play.

You're just looking at winrate. Better to look at tier since that takes more things into account in which case he'd be ranked 11 out of 17.

His damage is way too high in the early game. People say "HURR BUT HES WEAK LATEGAME" ----> Wrong, two axes and everybody is dead because armor is shit and serves no purpose his damage is way too high

FOR JUSTICE2 votes

he does fk tons of damage in exchange for being immobile and has a skillshot target during laning.

I Main Swain2 votes

i wont say hes overpowered but he is toxic by design and his kit is almost literally impossible to make anything but feast or famine. as much as i love my old favorite adc, he should probably get a minor rework

Kythers2 votes

the counter to draven is the rest of your team

which is why hes op in most elos, hes hard to play though or he'd be in every game and indeed get nerfed

Why should he, it’s not like adcs deserve an easy lane

Supreme Senpai691 votes

Late game it's fine. Mid game too, maybe. But early game.. 30 seconds, before the minions even spawn, he can Q you for 150 HP. You only start with like.. 400 HP. Shit is so ridiculous. You can't even dodge his damage

Of course, literally all my Dravens go 0/8/0. I guess it's just the Shaco effect. Where they feed on your team but carry on the enemy team.

FOR JUSTICE1 votes

that's the rule of technical champions in soloque
