As an AD, tell me how to play against this.

I don't know how much fucking armor he actually had, but as Draven with Youmuus and a Shiv, I was critting him for about 180. There was 0 lane interaction, he sat back at 1000 range and Qd minions with a Nami sitting on top of him healing whatever single auto I could manage to get into range to hit. I had well over 250 passive stacks multiple times but continuously got 4 manned.

Why is there a tank in my lane out-damaging Draven

Not go Lethality? Lethality is nullified by armour stacking. You should've went for the standard Shiv IE crit build. Your damage is going to be low because you don't have an Infinity Edge to bolster Shiv.

Yeah you misplayed really badly. You and your Support should have been able to zone them out and control the wave more closer to your turret from lvl2 rush.

Both dieing and giving a DK to the enemy bot before the 4min mark. Raka killing Lee means you were ganked early and it was probably your mistake that caused it cause Raka getting the kill means she was fixing your mistake to chase after and finish Lee Sin after you got killed fighting a bad fight. Then you both died again in less than 9 min mark.

Your CS was less than Ezreal's at the end of the game.

Ezreal did 2x your damage vs champions that game

You don't, because you're not supposed to be unstoppable in every game, in every meta. It wasn't too long ago where Draven basically autowon every lane because it was literally impossible to trade into him, so quit complaining when someone uses their range advantage.

lol nothing you can do vs ezreal nami that is a very puss* matchup ,as Draven, the only you can do if you have luck is diving them with your jg if your supp is a tank and he has an ignite, otherwise the only thing you can do is sit back and farm lol

The best advice I can give is rush item 3035 .

It might not be hyper damage item spike, but it'll help versus someone who decides to armor stack early.

Wait until later in the game and watch him struggle to even dent your frontline.

Honestly then, there's nothing you can do. They built to block you out, and even champ picked to prevent sudden death. At that point, all you could have done is anticipate and pause the Lethality. Once you saw Tabi's all you could have done is started moving to IE, delay Ghostblade, Build Shiv and go back to it later.

TBH, it's just unlucky matchup for you. In the future, assume your enemy Ezreal + Healer are going to be passive and defensive like this and remember to switch from Lethality. Either way, I think Shiv+IE would be better in pretty much every situation unless it's where you're already in cheese mode and want to go Lethality. (Don't quote me on that, I haven't played bot lane since S6)

If you arent winning lane you're doing it wrong.

You do realize that rushing ghostblade into someone building armor is almost the same as wasting 40-50% of the gold spent just because ghostblade is a lethality item right?

And crits, despite people thinking otherwise, are not really powerful post the early levels without an infinity edge to back them up, same goes for static shiv.

Meanwhile, ezreal got ninja tabi, he got iceborn, he got manamume, meaning his early game damage was essentially shit vs anything with decent damage, but in return he would not pop like a balloon from lethality procs and weak AD attacks.

You on the other hand, as mentioned, chose to straight up get ghostblade which had 0 effectiveness into the armor ezreal, then you went static shiv which might not actually have been bad but you were missing IE to actually get that sweet massive damage proc.

And you complain about a lack of damage x)

OP you dont seem to know how marksmen are all about their items, if you don't have any then you should prepare your ass, if you get the wrong ones then you should also prepare your ass.

Because the following boning will always be merciless.

That's what you fucking get for playing draven and 2 shotting every other carry. Fuck you there needs to be a counter to draven's bullshit.

You pray your mid is an AP assassin or at least decent burst mage, have them blow his ass up and run it mid and instakill their mid to cash in.

If you are asking how to play against him you catch him out/flank him in fights. Don't let him poke around, just engage.

If you are asking about 1v1, you don't.
