Where the FUCK is the counterplay to Draven?
Oh nowhere? Oh ok I guess I'll have fun getting killed by 3 auto attack late game.

I’ve been asking the same question as a support main.
Are you tank? Well when you engage on him you are face tanking his damage during the time of the game you have no tank items plus in late game he has conqueror and uses infinity edge which does true damage. So there’s no good time to engage on him. Also good luck landing cc on him since he can just constantly give himself a speed boost.
You a poke support? Thanks to his range as soon as you get close he will avoid your attacks since again he can constantly give himself a speed boost, then slow you despite you being super far away and be able to make a better trade than any damage support you could play.
You a peel support? Your heals and shields won’t do anything why he takes out 1/3 of you or your teammate’s health every auto attack. If you play safe you just allow his passive to get better and better until he eventually gets a kill, then he gets a ton of gold and snowballs out of control from 1 kill.
Of all the times I’ve faced him the only counter play I can think of is to hope he is greedy and gets himself killed such as him tower diving or he goes too far giving your jungler a chance to gank. Seriously for how long he has existed how have they not dealt with his damage. Plus with all the damage it makes his life steal so ridiculous that he becomes tankier than a fighter like Jax or Irellia.
Is this post out of anger or not? If not and you honestly believe that respond to me and I will break down how to play against Draven. On my old account I played a crap ton of draven. I had 250k points on him and i reached D5 with him at one point.
The counterplay is not trading in lane, don't feed him, and playing passively because post laning phase, he gets dicked on hard in teamfights.
He telegraphs where his axe is going to land. Why not aim where the axe is going to land and he has to chose between losing DPS or losing his health bar.
make him drop his axe(s)
when he allins you
burst damage in general
draven isn't an adc that has the luxury of kiting in fights and also doing damage, he has to commit hard if he wants to kill you (unless he so ahead he 3 hits you) you have to respect him in lane, and he's one of the easiest adcs to get a gank off on especially if you bait him into fighting
I mean, if you truly believe there is no way to counterplay a Draven, might I suggest banning him? Or perhaps picking a champion that has a kit with abilities designed to counterplay autoing focused champions?

Literally any assassin can kill him.
if you want to complain about something. complain about GA
his counter is the enemy jungler. He wants to get kills, if you gank a kill attempt and put him behind he is useless. If he has to play passive and only goes even in lane then he's already falling behind.
