Draven should not be able to outduel bruisers in melee range.

That is just ridiculous, adc's should be kiting from the backline, not face tanking all damage coming at them just because they have lifesteal. Not to mention draven usually gets full build around 30-35 minutes and bruisers/tanks are stuck on 3-4 items at that point. If full built tanks have trouble tanking draven than a 3 item bruiser just gets destroyed by one.

Draven is a bit out of line currently, so expect him to get hit with a minor damage nerf next patch.

That being said, Dravens biggest claim to fame is his damage output. If you crush his damage, you basically dumpster him as an ADC. If we're looking at changing him, I'd like his axes to be a bit tougher to catch, this means you need to spend more time and resources to manage his 'gimmick' to maximize his damage potential.

It's because he rushes Deaths Dance

The changes to it made it broken on him. Once he has it you cannot 1v1 him.

trust me, he will get backhanded next patch with nerfs, garentueed.

Unless he's fed, then he should be able to do those things. But otherwise? Yeah you're right.

Can't help but notice you weren't playing a bruiser, you played a tank (adc's specialty), he had 15 kills, and only one person had grevious wounds

I built titanic and triforce, that makes me a bruiser.

Not really, no. Leona has absolutely no AD scalings, her base offensive stats are on tank level, and her most important damage source doesn't even proc in a duel. She gets very little mileage from damage items like tri and hydra. Finally her kit usually requires to cast most abilities in quick succession if she doesn't want to get kited, limiting sheen procs.

You can easily see how your Bard outdamaged you despite spending much less gold on damage, and enemy Thresh almost matched your damage output despite building full tank.

Champions actually designed to be bruisers will usually outduel Draven, unless he menages to kite them or is already very fed. Which, don't get me wrong, happens way too often.
