Draven powers and strengths

I don't wanna hurt any fellow Draven mains feelings but I think that Draven may be one of the weakest and powerless champion lore wide.

Draven in game is badass. He has an infinite amount of axes, he can toss them to slow enemies and can literally hurl his axes into the ground and have them move in a target direction.

However he cannot perform these acts in the lore. He only has two axes that he can easily lose, I don't recall his axes ever ricocheting back to him and he cannot hurl two axes into the ground. Not to mention that he cannot fight anything that is slightly stronger then him. This is evidenced in New Dawn cinematic in which he uses two axes in an attempt to kill Ahri, only to lose two of them and getting slaughtered by Rengar. Another instance is in the short story Whispering Doodad in which he literally has to track down his axe while his soldiers attack Tristana and Lulu.

However Draven isn't that bad. He is super accurate with his axe throws, being able to hit targets from far distances, he has a general knowledge in close quarter combat with his axes and he is much stronger then a "Average fighter."

Look I'm not hating on Draven as I main him and find him such a awesome champion in game and lore wise. But if you put him against Garen, Jax and even his own brother, He would get slaughtered. He just isn't as impressive as he is in game and I wish for him to be a cool lore champion, even if it means giving him some sort of magical powers that has something to do with his axes and such. If you wanna prove me wrong, just type it here. I'm open to everyone's points of view.

new dawn is not canon at all.

anyway, Draven is about on par with other humans. if you've seen awaken, you will notice Riven deflect his axe, followed by him flawlessly dodging her next attack and catching his axe

Have you ever tried to throw a spinning metal object with accuracy? It's not easy... and those axes seem to be heavy.

So, i would say that he is stronger than normal humans that use guns... like Graves Caitlyn Jhin MissFortune or crossbows Quinn Vayne

And you cant forget his most powerfull power of all: Charisma.

Necrit did a video about it.

Draven is the weakest champion there is lore wise. He didn't get any formal combat/military training. He have zero knowledge about tactics or fights and he's kinda stupid/full of himself. There was a part in the comics were he rushed first into a war to have the glory for himself and he almost got himself killed there. He's also not wearing any armor. So he would lose to any other champ.
