Introduction
Alright, so I know that 
Draven is a pretty decent AD Carry and a lot of people are falling in love with this champion at a staggering rate but I wanted to put my own information to a guide. I found after playing against and as Draven that he relies heavily on his support, almost more than any other AD carry, from early to late game he needs to have that sustainability from his support in order to be successful, so when using this guide, make sure you have a good sustaining support or else it probably won’t work.
Prior to this build I created a
build and there were some comments directing me to seek some coding information surrounding the use of the guide editor and such. After reading that girl’s guide on how to create a proper guide I took the time to test out my newly learned tricks and tips within this guide. If you would like to leave me some general feedback on how you think I did, please do so, I’m really looking forward to hearing from you. However, please remember I’m still learning how to create a great guide and in order to do that I need to practice with the editor and other tools.

Team Work
As mentioned above in the introduction, you’re going to require a good sustaining support. I always play Draven if I know my support personally, however, as long as you have someone who you actually know or at least think is a good support than playing Draven is pretty much safe. I require my team mate to pick a good healing support, shield supports with Draven aren’t really beneficial, having that extra sustain in the lanning phase will allow Draven to farm up, which is super required to even play Draven properly.
Here's some supports that i enjoy playing with:
Alistar
Soraka
Sona
Janna
Here’s the support picks I strongly recommend:
Alistar = He has a
very good sustain
Triumphant Roar, he also gives Draven the
tanky front line
Unbreakable Will required to be successful - # 1 Pick Overall
Soraka =
Mega sustain
Astral Blessing
Infuse, however doesn’t really provide you with the
tank front line that is required - # 2 pick overall
Galio =
Mega tank front line, however, there’s no
real sustaining other than his shield
Bulwark. Really good choice if you
require tankiness on your team over
sustainability
Here’s the support picks I don’t recommend:
Lux =
Minimal sustain, will KS your kills in bottom,
weak character unless played with a strong initiating AD carry
Lulu = Not much to be said other than its Lulu,
don’t play it.
Jarvan IV = Provides you with the tankiness but not really the type of support to
sustain you throughout the entire match
Blitzcrank = Good tankiness but
no sustainability, his grab is alright, but really won’t help you in the middle to late game phase
Choose one of the two
Runes & Masteries
The rune setup within this guide is really subject to change depending on how you like to play your AD carries. Personally, I love putting the extra armor penetration runes in the mix with some flat attack speed runes. The more you hit them, the more damage you’re going to do, so, building Draven with some attack speed and armor penetration secures a little sustain and poking capability in the early-mid game.
If I was going to change anything with the rune setup, you might want to look at the other pages I have made to show you a few
different setups that would work with
Draven and this build.
It’s really personal though, runes are meant to be that way, so, changing the rune setup to help you is important, if you don’t like the rune setup, move on and change it, it won’t
effect this build in a negative way, unless you’re looking to build an
AP Draven, which I hope you are not.
Masteries on this guide are subject to change as well. I don’t like telling players how they should set up their personal files; however, I can
guarantee these masteries will be beneficial to you.
A lot of people run 21-0-9 with
Draven so they can secure that little extra health and other key components of the utility chain. Myself, I like having the
extra health at end game along with the
magic resist that you get in the defense chain selections.
If you’re going to change it, I would
highly recommend going the 21-0-9 way like a lot of
AD carries are played, it only makes sense to use this instead of the one I’m suggesting.
Items
With Draven I always start 
Boots of Speed and 3 
Health Potion, gives me the early sustainability that is required when playing early game as Draven. You can start with doran’s blade if you’re feeling lucky I guess, but if you want to utilize Draven’s speed and ability to poke with those 
Spinning Axes than I suggest starting with the boots x3 build.
Once I got the
Berserker's Greaves I always try to build into a
B. F. Sword in order to get me the early game damage that I need. Depending on my farm when I go back, I look to see if I can build a
B. F. Sword before getting
Berserker's Greaves, it all depends on my
kills or the amount of
gold I have. Whatever the case may be, I
always go
B. F. Sword before building anything else.
Quickly build your
B. F. Sword into one of the following depending on your need for sustain or damage output.
-
-
I immediately build an attack speed item; in this case
Phantom Dancer would be the ideal choice, regardless of the
B. F. Sword and what you built it into. The
Phantom Dancer is pretty standard and straight forward, not much explanation required. Of course, as you know it gives you the
critical chance increase, so building it after
Infinity Edge will provide you with a wicked chance of doing some major
crits on the opposing players. Along with
attack speed and
critical chance boosts, it delivers an awesome
speed boost to
Draven, which if used in correlation with
Blood Rush you’ll see the
major advantage of having a
Phantom Dancer
The
Frozen Mallet is pretty self explanatory, provides you with a large increase in
health points and also a cc
slow so that you can pick off opponent players you catch in the jungle or running away. Of course it gives you a little more
attack damage which is also an awesome boost coming from this item.
Frozen Mallet is a must buy, you need to have it with
Draven because of his
speed and how often he hits the enemy, he can literally scare them away and by doing this will provide him with the opportunity to deliver some wicked shots to your face. Make sure you buy
Frozen Mallet or you’re going to be
unsuccessful in delivering the proper ganking opportunities to your team mates.
Summary
As with any AD carry you play, you want to focus on getting the farm in there as much as possible. Eliminating the opponent in the early-mid game lanning phase is important but don’t get out of control with greediness or else you’ll fall behind and chances are will run into your death more than often.
Draven is a very important champion introduced into the game, his Spinning Axe ability is perfect and if you’re good with catching them than chances are you’ll be successful with playing Draven. Hopping into and out of fights using your poke as much as possible is the main key ingredient when achieving victory.
I know that this guide may seem a little different in format and a little hard to understand at some times, if you have questions or general feedback I would highly appreciate it, seeing how I want to only get better with making guides, please leave me some tips that I don’t know of. Don’t just comment and be like, you did this wrong, comment and tell me what I did wrong and how I can fix it so I know for further guide makes I come up with.
