Opinion on tri force draven?

I usually get ghostblade/lw in my build on draven cause of the tank meta but if the other team isnt tanky what about tri force? Ive never seen a draven build tri force before but i mean you can spam w so you can use the sheen procs of it and give lots of extra damage. I was thinking when they arent a tanky team i can just go tri force instead of ghostblade on draven. Thoughts/opinions on it? It sounds op to me but since ive never seen it before maybe im missing something

You're better off with other items. Trinity Force isn't really for draven.

I suspect that most Draven players will tell you you're better off with more raw AD items.

The AP is completely wasted on Draven (0 AP ratios), but I think it's a fair item because (other than the AP) Draven makes great use of everything Trinity Force has to offer. He's one of the best champions for constant Spellblade procs, the little extra beef Phage provides is really nice, and the sheer amount of movement speed boosting you can have going on because of Zeal and Phage (with your W) is amazing.

I like item 3078 on Draven as a 5th/6th item when I am hard carrying and am not getting a defensive item (I get a defensive item 90% of the time). item 3031 item 3087 item 3035 item 3072 item 3006 Tri force replaces one of these. item 3139 item 3026 item 3102 .

The sheen proc with full items is nasty.

It's bad. The sheen proc doesn't deal as much damage to upkeep the 3.7k gold cost. You are better off with a raw ad item/pd/defensive item.

And he can't really proc the sheen either. YOu use all ur stuff at once and it's not 100% sure that you can time the W casts with the already burdening axeminigame so no.

Sheen isn't a very good pickup because he scales so well with flat AD. His base damage is actually relatively low compared to most ADCs and that's the number that sheen scales off of. Most of his damage comes from Q which is why he out trades since it has almost 100% uptime.

You're much better off boosting his AD because he scales so well with it. IE/BT are both acceptable first buys. Ghostblade/Shiv/PD far better second over trinity, and from there on it's a normal ADC build because you can't skip LW and you need the IE/BT that you didn't pick up first.
