Is Draven going to be looked at in terms of his reliability late game?

IsIsGankedParis·Oct 18, 2015·3 votes·442 views

Right now he is super reliant on being massively ahead of the enemy or a bit above to start steamrolling. Late game his damage doesnt truly fall off in a sense, but he feels worse when compared to a vayne, ashe, sivir, or jinx. While he does have more damage than them, theres no real reason to pick Draven besides doing a little bit more damage to single targets.

Is this being addressed in the rework or something else instead?

Im not saying hes weak, just opinions i have about Draven.

When he stops auto winning lane with his oppressive as fuck damage we can talk.

When dying once to him stops meaning that laning phase is over we can talk.

He doesnt win every lane...?

If you die to him in lane it doesnt mean the laning phase is over depending on what your definition of it being over is.

When he starts diving you for days?

When you are too zoned to get 1 cs without dying?

While I agree with how he is oppresive early with his damage if he gets ahead, thats precisely what I am trying to talk about in how he shouldnt be a god once he gets slightly ahead and shouldnt be weaker than a 0-10 level 3 teemo.

Please calm down dude and take some breaths, we are talking about changin him in a REWORK so he isnt so binary, im not asking to buff everything in his kit man.

No. You obviously don't understand how Draven works.

He is the strongest early game ADC in the game, besides maybe Miss Fortune. He is meant to fall off. He cant have an oppressive early game and late game. He has to have some type of power curve or he's just going to be broken through all stages of the game.

No ADC truly falls off and I'm not asking to have his late game buffed while his early game is the same, hence why I'm saying is the REWORK going to do anything about this.

Do you understand? I'm not saying buff Draven everywhere so that I can have a bullshit early mid and late game champ please.

draven obviously isnt a safe pick. If you pick draven you may as wlel get sword of the occult also imho, thats the sort of thing you are promising with draven. Thats his niche, its fine.

But no champion should truly be a gamble in where the game becomes a 6v5 or a 4v5 in where Draven is basically full build at 30 minutes in or is finishing his 2nd item at 30 minutes, and even if hes ahead all he can do is rely on teammates that can peel hard while he does super crits.
