Why is draven even in the game ?

With AD items giving lower AD compared to previous seasons , buff to attack speed / crit items , draven lost a lot of power overtime without being directly nerfed. Now with the Vayne buff why bother playing draven ? At max rank q ( which is now the skill that your supposed to max out on her 1st ) vayne does bonus 70 % AD damage which has a base cooldown of 2 secs She has true damage to deal with tanks Her ult gives her invisibility , movespeed and bonus AD , making her unpredictable and giving her an escape tool in team fights. While Draven has to continuously catch his axes to get 85 % bonus damage and his movements are telegraphed making him easy to target . And just so you know Draven's axe remains in the air for a fixed time of 2 secs after he hurls it.......

Draven's main strength is that Draven's passive, League of Draven, gives Draven free gold, and Draven's a pretty aggro ADC all things considered, so Draven can snowball a kill lane better. Draven is about taking a early lead and keeping it. That's how you win in the League of Draven.

Okay soooo

Let's do a quick comparison

Tumble CD: 6 / 5 / 4 / 3 / 2 BONUS PHYSICAL DAMAGE: 30 / 40 / 50 / 60 / 70% AD

Spinning axe CD: 12 / 11 / 10 / 9 / 8 BONUS PHYSICAL DAMAGE: 45 / 55 / 65 / 75 / 85% AD

Now comparing them like this it sort of maybe looks like Vayne's tumble is better but bear with me. Draven upon catching his axes will cause spinning axe to apply to the next auto attack with an air time of 2 seconds as you mentioned. However you forget that Draven can have TWO spinning axe's and that his base AD is much higher which means he's putting out 45 / 55 / 65 / 75 / 85% AD bonus physical damage on both his autos every 2 seconds which far outweighs Vayne's single auto every 2 seconds . Now let's remember that catching an axe also builds a stack of his passive and resets his movement speed steroid on his W.

Vayne's condemn vs Stand aside.

The functionality is different, Vayne's condemn knocks an enemy backwards and if they hit they are stunned. If Draven's stand aside hits an enemy, they are knocked sideways and slowed. I'd say stand aside is much better because it doesn't push people away and even if you wanna run away it still applies a slow while condemn stuns.

Now let's get to the ultimates, Vayne's Final hour grants her 60 AD. giving her 90 movement speed from her passive and lets tumble turn her invisible. Now this is a great ultimate but it only buffs Vayne's stats significantly.

While it's hard to compare Vayne's ult to Draven's Whirling death which deals PHYSICAL DAMAGE: 175 / 275 / 375 (+ 110% bonus AD) when used directly on the opponent, this literally chunks enemies at close range, and will cost most ADC's a huge portion of their HP.

Are you saying Draven is bad? Because not only does my match history show otherwise, but so do stats in general.

You must be new here Draven used to have a passive ignite based on his ad for landing a Crit or An auto attack with His Spinning axe

And just so you know Draven's axe remains in the air for a fixed time of 2 secs after he hurls it.......

but Draven can have 2 axes out at a time easily, sometimes 3 if you're really good with him

Nobody comes close to Draven's raw damage when he's played at his best
