Draven Build Guide by Aletoria

Introduction

Pros / Cons

Choosing the right summoner spells

- This spell, is my utmost prefered one. that's because of the incredible many escape opportunities it gives you, or it gives you just the right amount of distance, for you to get away from a skillshot, or get under your tower, and away from the chasing enemies.
it goes well with almost everything, and it's a matter of taste, and playstyle for choosing this over the summoner spell . i recommend almost always use this, though for champions like , and a few more, i wouldn't take flash, because they already have it built in their kit.

Another great spell! this spell is the one i use, if i know my playstyle will be very aggressive, and that i have some kind of escape options. i tend to get it with Cho GathCho Gath simply because of his rupture. you can choose to take it on Draven too, as it enchances the already exceptional good chasing opportunities that this champion has.

This spell is very used by most ad carries, even some solo tops and mid players. I myself don't prefer taking this spell, as the heal isn't that great, and i believe making sure you don't get in alot of sticky situations alone, and go with something like ignite or exhaust makes up for not having this heal.
though this spell also should be also be considered, since it is a very useful spell, and if you know, that you may get in sticky situations to being able to secure a kill, this might just be the right choice instead of ignite or exhaust.
though i recommend talking it over with the support going with you in your lane, about what summoner spells you two should be using, since the support might be able to heal, which makes the summoner spell Clairvoyance alot more viable, or a exhaust on her, and ignite on you. though if the support can't heal, it might be worth telling him/her to take heal.

one of my prefered spells for almost every role (except support). that's because of the DoT (Damage over time) effect it leaves on the affected enemy player. it's great for picking up kills that you might not have been able to get if you hadn't this spell.
though it's totally up to you, i don't like taking it on Draven as Draven's passive is a build in DoT (Damage over time) effect.

I use this spell, over ignite with flash. this is because of the kit Draven has, as Draven can already have almost a mini ignite from his passive Wicked Blades . combining that with the almost full time movement speed buff from Blood Rush the only thing he needs is a slow, which he has exhaust for. and on top of that he recieves less damage if they where to turn around and fight you! i really recommend using this + flash, though that's just my personal opinion.

This spell is also a very good and useful spell to run on Draven. it allows you to teleport to a ward, a minion or a turret. even Teemo's mushrooms! and can be used for fast unexpected ganks. i wouldn't recommend using it, as there is other more useful spells for Draven, and Ad carries in my opinion has to focus more on their lane, and shutting the enemy ad carry down. that is also what i choose summoner spells out from.

This spell is also a very good option to choose as a summoner spell for Draven. it does as the name suggests, it 'Cleanses' you from every summoner spell affecting you, and lowers the duration by 65% on any disables hitting you, in 3 seconds after use.
it could be a great option for you, but as i've said before with the other summoners spells, it totally depends on your choice of gamestyle. though i would recommend getting another summoner spell, and buying a Quicksilver Sash as it gives even greater 'cleanse' as it removes all debuffs, snares, slows, stuns immediately at use, and gives you magic resist. i like to call that an improvement of this summoner spell.

This spell could be useful, as it gives you 35% increased attack speed for 12 seconds. it also gives you some ability power, which is useless on Draven.
I don't recommend taking this spell, as Draven already have a reasonable amount of attack speed at mid game, laning phase to contest other ad carries, at least when using my build and guide. so i feel this spell is a waste of space for another more useful summoner spell. though this is just my opinion based on this guide as this guide describes how i like to play Draven.

This summoner spell is also great for staying in the lane longer. Things worth thinking over, is kinda like the summoner spell heal as it gives you something you would want to have while you're staying in your lane. though i wouldn't recommend using it on Draven, or any ad carry, as there are better choices to pick from, and if you feel like you definitely will use alot of mana, i recommend getting your support to get this, or run with mana regen masteries, and mana regen runes. though i wouldn't recommend going for using alot of mana as an ad carry, since your main damage output is from autoattacks, enchanced with damage from your spinning axe .



This summoner spell can only be used in Dominion games. it might be fine to pick it up on Draven, though there are other more viable choices for Dominion games. though i can't tell you much about it, as i've got no experience in Dominion what so ever.

This spell isn't that useful, and should definitely not be used on Draven. it 'promotes' the minion you target, so it gets greater stats, and you'll earn the gold it gets for killing enemy minions. it's definitely not worth it on Draven, might not even be worth it on any role or champion, as you could easily farm the same amount just as fast + it will definitely push your lane, which you don't want to happen most of the time.

i mentioned this spell before when explaining one of the other summoner spells. it's a great summoner spell actually, just not fit for ad carries, or Draven, as it grants vision much like a ward, though this can be placed everywhere from the spot you are. many thinks of it, as a support summoner spell only, which i also strongly believes should only be used on, as they are the ones responsible for the most of the vision on the map for your team, though it's important you help out with warding too, and so is it for everyone else on your team each game!

This spell could be a great one, though it's not. it has far to high cooldown to be useful, and the only good thing about it, is that it revives you after making a stupid mistake, which is something we shouldn't do, and therefore shouldn't waste one of the two summoner spells for. you definitely rather wonna focus on the positive and believe you will dominate, instead of telling yourself beforehand "i'm gonna get so dominated by my enemies this game".

This is a fantastic Jungler summoner spell. this is because of the high damage it provides against minions, or monsters in the jungle. though i would definitely not recommend using it on an ad carry or Draven, since using it in lanes makes it have the same usefulness like summoner spell promote has.
