Isn't Draven just supposed to f*ck people up? He's the only ADC that currently requires micro-management and failing to catch your axes hurts your DPS.

draven does not necesairily have only one problem,he has several smaller problems: 1.How hard he counters other adcs like Caitlyn 2.how mobile he is 3.his build path is meta item 3147 those are the main issues in a game where most damage comes from slow projectiles and the game is full of indicators for heavy cc/damage spells a champion as mobile as draven is just too overpowered.

No one builds duskblade on Draven as a meta build path. It may be a cheese stray, but it's vastly inferior to his normal build.

I... don't think I can agree with this.

Duskblade isn't a meta item for Draven. It's a cheesy as fuck item, but it's not meta. You have to dip out of sight for a second every time you want to use it, which doesn't work well with most of the ADCs.

I mean sure, Draven is powerful, and a good Draven can 1v9 an entire team. But he's not overpowered. He's pretty damn fair. For one... while a lot of people say he can 1v9. That's usually because he has a front liner keeping everyone busy. The moment anyone dives Draven he's just dead. Gone. Non-existing. Hell I've shut Draven down with new Kindred multiple times.

Probably what makes him feel over powered is how quickly he can outscale other ADCs because of his passive. Which just gives him gold based on how many stacks of Adoration he has. So... he can probably have an infinity edge up by level 7-9.

I think Duskblade is stupid with its current set up. But I can see what Riot was trying to do with it. Before the hot-fix you'd get an extra 150 damage at level 1 if you managed to get it then for just walking out of a bush and shooting someone. Now it's less so, and less abusable by every champion in the game.

Like... I will agree that the champions who can cloak constantly, or disappear frequently do break this item hard core. But for ranged champions outside of Vayne, and for most Melee champions it is just a cheese item that isn't really that efficient.

even vayne cant really abuse it due to she has to use her ult, but really its quinn and graves who can abuse it the most peopel get it and im like why u cant use the passive on it effectively
