Can we nerf Draven please?

I'm so tired of losing to the exact same Draven build -- Staatik Shiiv, Bloodthirster, RFC. Every game. Every comp. Glacials? Throw in a Draven. Nobles? Throw in a Draven. Yordles? They're short, Draven can throw blades right over their heads. Shapeshifters? Draven and Swain for double damage! Sorcerers? Lulu can make Draven extra big! Imperial blademasters with BRK, PD, and Morello on Katarina? Congrats on your 100 game, you uncreative bastard.

Please can we nerf this? I don't even like playing this comp when RNG serves it to me on a platter, because it feels so cheap. But the alternative is to let someone else have it and lose 65LP for coming in 2nd or whatever.

It's super lame. It's not fun, and it makes the frustrating LP system that so many people are complaining about even worse, because if you're not lucky enough to be the first person to roll Draven, the best you can hope for is runner up. I played a match earlier tonight where I was undefeated for 4 stages, but then someone picked up a Draven with a bow from the carousel. I had shapeshifters, and I could take out the entire team except for Draven, and then he'd wipe out my 5 or 6 remaining champs (all silver or gold) singlehandedly. It was infuriating, especially since I had to fight him three times in a row.

I came in 5th and lost 30LP, which is more than I get for first in most matches, but that's a different thread.

Um... That's not what Draven builds...

He goes item 3124 99% of games, and item 3080 he uses (correct), and his last item depends on what is available to him.

I've never seen a item 3087 on him. But then again, you play different games with different people than I do.

He's already been nerfed, that's the glory of it.

I dont feel draven is particularly broken or anything.

But its pretty gross how in a game with this much RNG there's already a meta and boring shit you see every match. If you want to get a heads up on your opponents and "read their mind" go to youtube and watch the latest TFT videos. You'll see how easily influenced people are, sure some figured it out on their own but even beyond obvious meta shit the latest "100% BEYOND BROKEN" video will guide plenty of people and make the game pretty stale in regards to combat variety.

Blame is like 80/20. 80% people refusing to try anything new and or learn on their own and 20% youtubers(sheepherders) shepherding the flock.

So this TFT sounds pretty shit. Why are people playing it?

UPDATE: Tonight my THREE STAR SHYVANA with Rageblade, RFC, and Staatik Shivv got slaughtered in a 1v1 against a 2-star Draven with a only BF sword. After the rest of our teams were dead, they were both near full health when they went into a 1v1, and Draven was still at 3/4 health when he finished off Shyv.

How is that not OP? Shyv is widely considered one of the best units in the game, and Draven is so OP that even without being hyperstacked he took down a strong unit a who was a full tier above him.

I really wish we could pull replays from this mode because I swear I wouldn't have believed it if it hadn't happened to me.
