Anyone have tips on playing against a Draven besides "Dont die?"

Just played a game where I picked Caitlyn into Draven. I know he's a decent pick into her, especially after the recent nerfs, but, down here in Bronze, a good Draven is 1 in a million. So, I was going off of the hope that he wouldn't really know what he was doing, and I would just bully him out of lane.

We get to the loading screen, and I check OP.GG.........

73% win rate on Draven with nearly 100 games on him.

sigh

Yeah, they had our inhib bot tower down at the 18 minute mark. It didn't help that our mid lane got crushed too, and our jungler was only intent on farming. He finished 12/2/1 after we surrendered at 20.

Is there any ADC thats decent into Draven? Someone that could possibly withstand his early onslaught? According to op.gg, the only ADC Draven has a loosing win rate against is Kog'maw.......don't know how that is, but it certainly won't work down here. If you don't have a team to support Kog, you're going nowhere, which is why we Bronzies avoid choosing Kog at all costs. Other hypercarries can work, but certainly not Kog'maw.

I'd just like to know what to do next time I face one of these rarities.

You just poke him when he goes for last hits. Your auto attack range is higher than his. And if he does get into auto attack range you E Q away and auto attack for the headshot.

There isnt much you can really do about him, unless your a god tier player, if he normally doesnt get fed off of bot lane he gets fed elsewhere. you just instaban him or play as safe as you possibly can. If your playing cait do as absurd penguin said

Trade him when his spinning axe is up in the air and he isn't holding one in his off hand. And aim skill shots at the axe drop locations to make him decide whether he wants to catch the axe and take a hit or avoid damage and lose some of his damage. Put him in this situation often enough and he will run out of health of mana at some point.

As someone who barely plays ADC, I find Jhin gives him a spanking even in my hands. My friend beats him with Ezreal (just aim your Qs where his axes are going to land)

But personally I think Draven is your support's job. CC him and he's a helpless kitten. You want CC and tanky (Leona, Thresh, Naut, Blitz, Bard (Leona is the best imo as minions don't stop her)) and a CC support synergizes with Cait's traps so you can kill him repeatedly. You can also remind your jungler that Dravens tend to auto-push their lane and it should be an easy gank bot.
