With Ashes new rework she's actually a pretty potent ADC now. In lane she excels at extended trades due to her Q and it's hard to poke her out due to her range and the fact she can slow you so she can choose how long to fight. The only way to beat her is to go all in all the time because a competent Ashe will always just fight/poke. Getting an early Vamp will help sustain against her poke and getting a PD is pretty much needed to counteract her lack of RNG. Play aggressive and abuse your lane pressure to get a lead early game and dodge her ult mid game to close before late game, as her teamfight initiation and sustained damage makes her deadly.
Ezreal
Ezreal is easy for Draven, so long as you stay inside or behind your minion line. You out poke him if you're careful of his Q, and at 6 his all in is nowhere near as potent as yours. He is slippery as hell though, so don't commit too hard if his E is off cooldown.
Vayne
Vaynes are usually free lanes for you. Her lane presence is poor and her trading is mediocre. She becomes a demon late game though, so make sure to abuse your raw damage early to make sure she never gets there.
Varus
Varus is a problem for Draven, the range on his autos makes him a pain to out trade pre 6 and post 6 he can hardcore CC you causing you drop axes and lose the fight thanks to his Q/W burst. Focus on farming early and let your support/jungle create the pick, which thankfully is pretty easy to do due to his lack of any form of mobility. Not even a movement speed steroid.
Graves
With season 6 graves got a rework. He now does disgusting amount of damage but has to be in melee range to do it. You can poke him at will as his range is 425 to your 550, and he can't auto attack through minions anymore. That being said, if you do get hit by a full buckshot you'll feel it for weeks. Also STAY AWAY FROM WALLS. His new Q, End of the Line instantly detonates if it hits a wall, doing insane damage. Keep him at arm's length and you should be fine, and never get close to him, even if he's behind.
Lucian
Lucian is incredibly mobile and incredibly pokey. Avoid short fights and make sure to abuse his low range. You can dodge his Q by trying to position yourself awkwardly behind creeps, thus making him push to harass you, or miss altogether. If you get hit by his W, any attack against you from his team will make him run faster so keep that in mind if you get tagged. His ultimate is deceptively strong, as in if the Lucian is good he can land most/all of the culling and that will deal an incredible amount of damage to you, if you can make him stand aside when he begins to channel it.
Jinx
Jinx is similar to Graves, but with less upfront burst and a way better late game. Early, avoid long duels as her Q gives her incredible DPS. Poke her as much as possible and try to avoid standing near creeps because of her splash damage from rockets. Due to her potential safety in lane thanks to her Q, she can actually become a big problem very fast as its hard to keep on her thanks to her self peel vs champions with no mobility. Plus her late game is a lot stronger than Dravens so make sure to ask your jungler for a hand as she's super abusable pre 6
Miss Fortune
MF is a poke bully, similar to caitlyn, but more about teamfight presence than pure range. Her Q is great at making sure your backline is your enemy too, and her slow is a pain. Try and stay inside your creeps to make double up less effective and make sure to E her ulti, unless you need to turn and run. Her new (buffed) Q now deals absurd damage if it kills the first target, so don't stand behind an ally minion that can be last hit, or you'll feel the pain.
Kalista
Kalista is a lane bully that gets outscaled the longer the game goes on, usually. This lane is all about your support and their support, as it's hard to be outraded by her, but it's also hard for you to outrade her. Poke with a Spinning Axe auto when she walks up to get a creep, but focus more on farming. As soon as a fight breaks out from either support, immediately go all in. Focus Kalista 90% of the time in this situation so she can't build up enough rend stacks to one shot you (Except against Soraka, always kill soraka first)
