So, what's the build order for the shieldbow one? all of the items are jumbled and I can't tell if it's just backwards, or mixed up

Build and notes are updated, thanks for input. Info is hopefully more clear now.

Conquerer sucks mad ****. HOB and PTA 1 AD per stack in the early game is just not worth it. You will never fully stack conq, I have twice out of five games, and even then it's only 6% healing which is absolutely nothing, HOB allows you to one shot carries in half a second late, and PTA makes you melt tanks even faster if needed. Conq is just an outdated draven rune, and only people like PSZ can use it cause he's played 1000's of draven games with the rune and wont change it.

I appreciate your input. Sadly I havn't had time to play/configure the guide much for the last 3 months or so. I already wrote that HOB is better than Conq, but somehow it didn't change to get displayed on the guide. Thanks and good luck in the rift!

Great build, and a lot of information about draven and builds in general , but is conqueror viable on Draven? It feels like forever to stack also manamune is still viable in season 11?

(3) |

I didn't get to testing it yet sadly, but I will update as soon as I can! Only a week at max (I hope) to get some evaluation.

Hey! Nice post! I'm a main Draven and I'd like to join that club you mentioned. May I? I'd be so happy! Thank you in advice.

(3) |

Of course you may :D just add me on League, my name is Dravεη!

(2) |

Draven just can't activate idk why people put this so recommended

(3) |

Because Draven benefits the most of it. It's not just about getting fully stacked, you also get granted AD for each stack which makes it superior to the other two Precision Trees. You might wanna try instead

(2) |

yeah I prefer much more

(1) |

For the manamune build, i always find myself building a lw item instead of one lethality especially if the game is not a stomp since they will most likely have a tank or healing of some sort. I feel like the build is better with lw. Also, with hail it sometimes is better to go full adaptive damage runes. I think the guide would be more comprehensive if small details like that were added. Its a nice guide overall, but alot of things (ie. aery) are not viable any more, and will not help above diamond elo.

(3) |

Thank you for your critique! I will gladly add your consideration to my guide. And of course there are stronger runes than Aery (that is rather a fun/test build - I should complement that part) but I like to give a vast variety of options to choose from

And thanks again for your kind critique! Inform me if you find other parts of my guide lacking.

Very detailed, in-depth and nicely done guide! I like the fact that you offer different routes to build Draven alpha AF (lol)

I'm far from being a perfect Draven, but on him I like having high AS, as for some reason I find it easier to catch his axes when AS is higher (is that a common thing?) and I tried manamune once just to see how it is like and I loved being able to Q-W-Q-... without caring about mana, downside is that it feels like it takes forever to full-stack tear especially before manamune is finished. Then I went HoB and Presence of Mind without Manamune and, since Draven usually (has to) gets early kills (it was a very casual game,) PoM gave me enough mana to spam Q-W-Q. Question then: is HoB (or Lethal Tempo) + PoM subpar if not building lethality? Is PoM just a dream/delirium, since REAL matches may not allow it to become a thing (similar to DH?) Btw, between HoB and LT, I still prefer HoB even though it has a higher CD.

Now about having Domination whether primary or secondary: ravenous hunter procs while Q has stacks? Is it worth it? And what are your thoughts about relentless hunter?

(3) |

That's a tricky one haha I'll give it my best shot.
I don't think that building only lethality with HoB+PoM is mandatory. I like to go for RapidFire and DeathsDance along those runes too.
You might not be spiking as hard in power, but your sustain and viability increase immensely if you choose those two over, let's say, and .

Now is a thing i really don't like, as it gives me the feel of being a strong mobile assassin that has to hard engage, as I really want to make use of the Keyrune - that depends on everyones indivual playstyle of course.

Hope that cleared your questions :D

(3) |

Thanks a bunch for your answer. I always forget about RapidFire on him. Gonna give it a go. :)

(3) |

I know I made a lot of questions - sorry for that - but I still wanted to ask something else, it's about possible supports: how do you feel if paired with a Swain, Sett or a Nami? And a Yuumi? Thanks! :)

(3) |

Nami is god tier paired with Draven, I love Swain but sadly Draven's E doesn't let Swain pull enemies - about a 6.5 out of 10.

Yuumi is tricky as she is a good support for late, but Draven is rather early, so if you really synergize well with your Yuumi player you could be about a 5-7 out of 10 I'd say. I absolutely love a good or support

Cheers once again! I asked about them to see how other Dravens feel with those supports as I play as supp too heh. Yuumi is the only one I haven't played yet - only testing - as I don't feel very confident on her yet. I've been watching loads of games on porofessor and there seems to be many Dravens paired with those - some Sennas too, but majority of them doesn't play her well to be relevant, I think.

(3) |

I think Draven can be extremely dominant with Yuumi as he can fully go for damage while Yuumi keeps him alive. But if just one or a few variables do not hold true anymore, you might find yourself in a very rough spot.

I might dare to say that it's on the verge of being unplayable or going extremely OP

I will save this guide for later. I know that Draven is a hard champion to handle, so I am going to master the easy and more interesting -to me- ones first and then dig deep into the annoying pokey Draven... Thank you so much for this in-depth guide :>

(3) |

I really appreciate those kind words :) and please enjoy yourself as much as you want with my guide :D
If you have any critique, feel free to write me!

(4) |

I'm a support main who's getting into ADCs and also has a huge soft spot for Draaaaaaaaaaaaaven. Having such an in-depth guide to follow is super appreciated, as is the amount of time and effort you put into this! Very well done. :D

(3) |

Thanks for your precious reply, I really appreciate it!

what to take against pyke

(3) |

In means of Itemization, Support or Spells?
Just normal Damage, Bloodthirster rush, for items. Thresh, Alistar, Leona, Lulu are neat against Pyke if they play decently.
Summoner spells, flash and maybe heal or barrier if your support goes heal.

For Runes I'd say Press The Attack as he should die almost instantly if you hard counter-engage him.

thx i'm a returning player haven't played for 6 months asking since i get a lot of pyke players in my games

eu preciso de ajuda tem caindo muito tanques na minha partida tipo garen,mundo e tbm muito magos com assasinos vc pode fala quais intes eu faço nesse tipo de problema cite para min 3 intes para coutera tanques e 3 para coutera magos com controle de grupo ou muito dano

(3) |

I couldn't correctly translate what your problem is, but if you have a lot of assassins in the enemy team I would build HP Items. There have been times I fought against 2 AP carries and for that I built and , if there is high CrowdControl switch with it is still decent damage and you're going to survive without any problems.
If there are many AD carries I'd say instead of go for or .

So my conclusion is: I would rather build 1 or 2 tank items before I cannot compete at all, because lower damage is still more than no damage - And you are going to deal no damage if you die momentarily.

Hope i could help

and I'm sorry I messed up my language, thank you, I said it right, I put it in the Portuguese language so I can translate it for you and I have 2 new questions if builda intes of hp is worth to draven, and if I get good from draven I'll get it on silver 3 '

So I don't know if I got your questions, but I'll try.
Yes building HP is worth on every Champion, the thing is, it is not high elo as your team should be there to defend you, also you should position yourself so you won't get just nuked and taken off the team - that's where you would only need one tank item. Mostly going tanky helps the entire team, because it takes of their kill pressure as their engages on you won't affect your team as much and they can just focus on killing enemies instead of protecting stuff.
And if you get good on you'll surely reach higher than Silver 3. I mained for a long time and I've reached Diamond with it - and there are far better Dravens than me on LoL.
