Draven

Spinning Axe

Pros High Damage/Burst: may fall off after not taking initiative on kills, so make sure you put pressure on the enemies - not necessarily by pushing but instead by hurting them while they try to reach out for farm (I'll provide a video later on). Movespeed/Poke/Range: utilize your speed for easy pokes and good escapes. A Rapid Firecannon will do a great job for almost every situation. You're Draven, thats a pro

Cons Juggling/Hard Positioning: sometimes you'll have a hard time with taking the right position or dying because you tried to land an axe. Keep in mind your enemy won't forgive you standing in front of your minions trying to catch stuff. Easily punished/musn't die: obviously, getting killed is bad. More important is, you lose stacks which will bring you joy of killing things in the first place. You need to depend on your positioning as on your Support and Wards.

Early game / Laning Phase

• You will have to pin point check for their threats and make sure, they can't all in you at any given time. If they can, reposition. Always stay on the save side, last hit minions and if there are no minions to
  last-hit -> check for trades.
  
  E.g.: Their adc (sometimes maybe even support) wants to take a minion, if you're on the save side (behind minions, support directly besides/in front of you)
  
  
• Never catch axes that might be unsave! Those could save you a big trade or even worse, a kill. Better lose a Q worth of Mana than 500HP, minions, time and Gold.
  
  
• Don't fight in a big enemy minion wave. You'll most certainly lose - if you're not already fed.
  
  
• Freezing can give you tremendous benefits. You're a bully. If they try to farm or break your freeze, punish them accordingly.
  
  
• Not dying is number one priority. Losing stacks is way more frustrating than getting a payout. The only trade you want to make is either KILL and then die, or just never die per se in a perfect scenario.
  
  
• Always try keeping in mind where the jungler might be, if he was just ganking top, you know you have at least 30 seconds to either build a wave to fully push + bounce, freeze and trade, ward or kill stuff.
  
  
  Lane Behaviour | Pushing, Freezing, Wave bouncing

  |Minute Marks|
  3:15 Push
  Used for roaming/taking objectiv/helping team/back port
  
  4:30 Freeze (5:20 HOW to freeze)
  Make the enemy vulnerable/lose farm/extend path from tower/build slow push
  
  7:00 Slow push
  Good for building wave (literally is for building wave)/denying farm/poking enemy
  and most importantly letting the wave CRASH (push it under enemy turret) and shortly after that BOUNCE
  
  Now what does CRASH mean: Pushing the minion wave you've built, through slow pushing, under enemy turret to deny him farm and let enemy minions stack. Opening you either backport-worthy amount of time or simply trading AutoAttacks while he tries to last hit Caster Minions
  
  Now what does BOUNCE mean: You build a big minion wave, which gets stuck under enemy turret for backport-worthy amount of time, which builds an enemy minion stack.
  
  Said stack pushes back to you and meanwhile you arrived back on lane getting a big stack of farm and Exp. The deal breaker here is, the enemy couldn't (maybe he did, but shouldn't) backport because he had to farm, stabilize the wave and catch Exp.
  
  Now compare your items, mana and health to theirs. You might consider fighting them and fast push (if they died) or try to freeze and punish them.

Mid / End Game

• IF AHEAD: Try getting their turret on bot and ask your mid to rotate. ADC and Support on mid have bigger impact than just one midlaner alone. That way you can almost safely ensure your team to get a Drake/Herald if the enemy team tries fighting, objectives, pushing or just isn't nowhere near to contest you.
  
  So in detail: Open their map (destroy towers), take vision of their jungle (also clear theirs - as team if possible), take objectives (go for drake soul and Herald for push), try picks and steal their jungle (Their adc might be solo pushing, or their top might be clearing a wave). The less ressources their team has, the better you get ahead.
  
  
• IF BEHIND: Try to farm and ward heavily, YES ALSO PINKS (also your Support, not just you), all around bot and enemy deep jungle, so you ALWAYS have vision around bot and can safely farm without instantly getting ganked.
  
  The other method, if behind, might be through pushing, objectives and fighting. You being behind doesn't mean an actual "loss" or your team being weaker overall. It is a team game after all.
  
  I can't say this often enough. You can't carry every game, sometimes you're behind and that's ok. Know the place you are in right now and make the best of it.

as second skill Benefits of W (Blood Rush): Good poke More convenient/ reliable dodges Better escapes Bait Summonerspells by constant pokes Better mobility Stronger offense and defense (faster) Hindrance of W: The only aspect you will miss here is the direct CC and the defense you get with your E.

or this Benefits of E (Stand Aside): Early CC Good killpressure Bait their Summonerspells solely with your E and fake engage Better defense, as they can't just approach you Less mana consumption than constant usage of W Hindrance of E: You'll miss your advantage of dodging, easier pokes, better lane endurance.

in-depth rune talk

First off, Conqueror will be much better in late game than Press the Attack (PTA), but keep in mind, that PTA will be stronger early game as you only need to attack three times for big damage unlike for Conqueror. So bullying might be a lot easier with PTA.

I've gathered enough information to confidentially say, that 10% Attack Speed are
more beneficial for Draven than twice the Attack tiles.

For Hail of Blades take into consideration that you already have high AttackSpeed with this rune, so you might be able to take Adaptive Damage instead of AttackSpeed.

Now to add, runes have been alternated in Patch 9.8 ( Coup de Grace). This is still worth as they've put up damage on low enemies, even though they removed the damage buff you receive after a kill.

Take in consideration you might want to take Legend: Alacrity instead of Legend: Bloodline, if you can handle the attack speed better than the lifesteal, it's yours to go pal! I also prefer the attack speed

	This tree offers great utility for late game. This is almost always the best choice Conqueror on top of this tree, close after that, Press the Attack. Fleet Footwork might be a viable solution against poky botlane.
	If you want to play extremely aggressive, take this. You should be very confident as this tree doesn't offer you as much constant benefits. Hail of Blades would be an example - you get 3 fast AAs and that would be it. Dark Harvest might also be an option - I don't like it that much though. ALWAYS try to get off your AutoAttacks with your Q active, you can do that by keeping 2 axes ready and starting to attack the enemy and while your first AA went off, you can reactivate your Q for a third empowered attack.
	Take this if you want to be annoying as hell (experimental and rather a fun build) with Summon Aery among your fellas.

Manamune

Presence of Mind

Alacrity

You chose Coup de Grace, but why not use Cut Down or Last Stand? Answer is simple; Cut Down -> As you wont have an enemy that is just plain stupidly buying 6x Warmog's Armor, you wont need Cut Down and even if, those shouldn't be your problem on first sight, as you will need to deal with their carries and after that annihilate their tanks. Last Stand -> So this would have actually been an useful rune if it wasn't for you being an ADC. Either you have 100% or 0% HP, that's just how it goes most of the times, there is (like really, 80% of times) no in between. So there's that for this rune. This is extremely powerful on off-tanks, as they mostly get pushed down to half-life in teamfights and then keep going ( Jax, Kayn, Aatrox et cetera). So your answer should be Coup de Grace, BUT as I always say, it is aspect of preferation. If you can handle one of the other 2 runes better, go for it. This is just a well-meant advice.

Serrated Dirk

• Immortal Shieldbow:
  I can't tell you how much I love this item. 700 Shield at Level 18. Case closed.
  
  
• Eclipse:
  You will want this if you go lethality.
  
  
• Lord Dominik's Regards:
  If they have some champs with armor ( Rammus, Sejuani, Malphite and similar). Way better than Mortal Reminder.
  
  
• Mortal Reminder:
  If they have off-tanks or leeching Carrys ( Jax, Vayne, Kai'Sa, Xin Zhao). In my opinion, one of the weakest items to build on any ADC.
  
  
• Black Cleaver:
  Very underrated, but rarely viable, use if they kill you too fast. Very strong against tanks.
  
  
• Bloodthirster:
  A 80% necessary item and a go-to if you need shields for surviving (your rune Overheal will grant you bonus shield)
  
  
• Maw of Malmortius:
  Nice for APCs like Veigar or Malzahar and similar (if a strong Veigar or any other AP-Nuker, then combine - without a doubt - with Mercurial Scimitar).
  
  
• Essence Reaver:
  Really good for even more damage without spending money on a redundant item, also almost no Mana problems ever again.
  
  
• Phantom Dancer:
  Its new passive makes it fairly good for a surprise turn-around.
  
  
• Rapid Firecannon:
  More than solid on Draven, almost always 100% buy.
  
  
• Mercurial Scimitar:
  Buy if they have strong CC, depends if you need it. If you're far ahead you should survive some CC, because of your Teammates that should peel 'n' protect you.
  
  
• Guardian Angel:
  Buy this only if necessary, there are far stronger items that even give you more HP + Damage ( Black Cleaver) in this game. In case they have extraordinary strong burst, high AD output and you will surely need another life in your fights. In other scenarios I'd advise to go for health/shield+resistance items.
  
  
• Spirit Visage:
  This item can also do a very efficient job, if you're getting bullied by APCs. You might want to get some HP and extra MR, also this boosts up all your healing, so why shouldn't you build this item if you can't survive to any APC? Greater survivability, better healing, more HP, less AP damage received. (Of course only build this if really necessary - if you just need some overall sustain, get Black Cleaver)
  
  
• Manamune:
  Rarely if even anymore viable.
  
  
• Sanguine Blade:
  Lifesteal item with attack speed buff in 1on1? Gimme that. Always go-to if Lethality and even often with Shieldbow if you need stronger heal.
  
  
• Youmuu's Ghostblade:
  Lethality item, very strong for kill-pressure and kite-ing.
  
  
• Duskblade of Draktharr:
  Not a fan of this, but with Dark Harvest it is worthwhile.
