Ashe vs. Draven. Draven gets ahead, you can't play safe. What do you do?

Try to farm under turret? He'll dive you under turret because they're useless. Call for ganks? The jungler has already deemed your lane a lost cause, and refuses to help.

Abandon lane? Probably the only option.

"Don't pick Ashe into Draven!"

Umm, BLIND PICK?

Depending on who your top laner is and how early on this happens you could ask for a lane swap. It sets your top laner behind a bit but gives you a chance to catch up. Just remember to take the tower fast and start roaming mid after if you take your support with you, as you'll completely give up dragon control.

Of course in solo queue people will likely laugh at you for suggesting this, but it's worth a shot.

Top lane Nasus would probably not agree to a lane swap into a fed Draven.

The good thing is I actually won the match against the fed Draven because he got cocky and died a lot. Managed to make a comeback after farming while he was away. And fortunately, Ashe outperforms Draven late-game.

I was actually considering getting a Thornmail vs him since his team was also 4/5 physicals.

I've been in a two vs one lane so I will say playing safe is still an option. if they can easily tower dive, farm jungle. if you can't farm jungle, you messed up or you have a troll on your team just feeding him 5 kills really early on.

if you are ashe, spam volley to poke and play safe. if draven gets ahead, that's something you want to avoid in the first place, but if it happens, just farm it out as much as you can and hope for the best. if your support is just feeding or something, then first tower will fall and then you have to hope other team doesn't push too hard and take everything. basically you would be hoping to delay the game at this point until you get your items.

Actually you can't farm jung anymore. Jungle will mess you up hard and takes too long to kill and with the upcoming changes to jungle on PBE it will get even harder for laners to take the junglers farm effectively (gold is dropping on average but jungler is getting the same amount). Plus if you take the jungler's gromps and its an AS jungler you may be screwing them pretty hard.
