Introduction
This guide is focusing mostly on bot lane but Draven works also at top or mid against non gap closing and burst champs.
Draven is very exciting and rewarding champion because teamfights aren't easy but you even have to pay attention and catch your axes. But Draven is those champs that if you are good with him, you notice it.
Pros
Whirling Death
-Kills squishy targets faster than anyone
-Good poke with
Spinning Axe if you are a bit ahead in lane
Cons
Blood Rush and
Stand Aside
-Vulnerable for CC (like every adc is)
-
-Dominates lane very easily
-Very high damage all the game
-Easy to notice when you get better with Draven
-Global ultimate

-Kills squishy targets faster than anyone
-Good poke with

Cons
-
-Not the easiest ADC to start with
-Hard late game if you are behind
-Only "escape" abilities are


-Vulnerable for CC (like every adc is)

Viable Marks would be Greater Mark Of Armor Penetration, but these runes make your farming very hard until you get used to it and they only start out damaging the Flat AD Marks until levels 4-6 and in my opinion the lane phase is more important for AD carries than mid-late game. The only situation where i would use these Marks would be




If their jungler and support doesn't have any magic damage then the go to Glyphs would be



Viables would be Greater Quintessence of armor penetration or

21/9/0. These are pretty good


You could also take a bit more defensive masteries to get those extra hp and armors, but especially with

The Utility tree is kinda bad for ad carries as it might give your opponent an advantage if you have less damage or defense than them.
ABILITY SEQUENCE
Q > E > W > Q > Q > R > Q > W > Q > W > R > W > W > E > E > R > E > E
The Q
Spinning Axe is Draven's deadly basic attack. When you catch it you get another
Spinning Axeand it resets your
Blood Rush cool down.
The W
Blood Rush is Draven's steroid and is used for chasing/escaping and maximizing your DPS.
The E
Stand Aside is used to get some time to kill an escaping/charging enemy or you can use it to escape yourself or teammates.
The R
Whirling Death is one of funniest ultimates in the game because it deals huge AoE damage and you can even kill steal from another lanes with it :D.
TIPS:
To maximize your DPS in teamfights you have to get 2
Spinning Axe for the fight and use your
Blood Rush every time you catch the
Spinning Axe to have an unlimited time of the steroid.
Use the ultimate at the beginning of the fight to kill them quicker or at the end of the fight if someone is escaping. Position yourself so you can hit with it to every enemy champ and same also when it returns. It's not good to use the ultimate in the middle of the fight since it lowers your DPS.
E>W>Q combo is good at lane for poking or initiating a fight.
You can use
Stand Aside to counter any gap closer that enemies are trying to do. (expect
Vi and
Malphite ultimate)
When you throw
Spinning Axe before it hits and enemy you can click somewhere where you want to walk and then when the axe hits an enemy it then flies to the direction you clicked.

Damage:



Defense:


Bloodthirster should be the first core item as it makes Draven's
Spinning Axe a deadly killing machine at early-mid game. After that i like to buy
Berserker's Greaves for the movement speed and attack speed. Then i usually buy
Zeal for the crit and attack speed
The second core item should be
Infinity Edge. It makes you even deadlier with those 250% critical damages. This is the must have item if you want to reach dem 1k crits bro ;).
The third core item should be
Phantom Dancer because you always need some extra crit and attack speed.
Now that you have 4 items (3 and boots) you should make a choice do you need defense item now as fifth item or for the last item. For me i usually get
Guardian Angel by now as fifth item because at this point i usually get bursted down as soon as teamfight begins because no one protects the ADC at low elo. You can also buy
Warmog's Armor,
Frozen Mallet or
Randuin's Omen if you are not focused that heavily.
The other defense items there are, are situational and i'm not gonna go through them in this guide.
The last item should be
Last Whisper. You can also get this item earlier if you notice the enemy team is stacking a lot of armor. You can switch this item to something else if they don't have armor much. The other item could be another defensive item or
Mercurial Scimitar. It gives nice amount of AD and if you are being focused with hard CC like
Warwick ultimate, this is almost necessary item.
When you have full build don't forget to buy all those dandy potions
Elixir of Fortitude etc.

The early game for Draven should be quite easy. Just farm and harass the enemies every once in a while and try to look and opportunity to get a kill without dying. Just don't be too aggressive and lose a lot of cs the ideal is 100cs in 10min, it all comes with practice.
Just be aware of the minimap and see what is happening and act fast if you see enemy coming to gank bot.
If you are ahead of your lane you can try to take the tower down and take a free
dragon with jungler.

Mid game is all about getting objectives, farming, finishing your core items, adding pressure and so on. At mid game you should have at least 3 core items and boots. Don't forget the farming, it still matters in mid game.
If there is a chance try fighting the enemy team if the positioning favours your team and if you win the fight you should try and get
Baron and maybe an Inhibitor
If there is a chance try fighting the enemy team if the positioning favours your team and if you win the fight you should try and get

If There is an late game in your game. It's all about positioning yourself correctly, winning teamfights, getting objectives, pushing, split pushing and just not screwing up. Nothing more. Winner is who get's Nexus down first not who get's the most kills. So don't Fool around. Because at late game even one mistake can lead your team to Defeat.







I wouldn't recommend to play





I'm still learning a lot but i decided to share some of this knowledge and make a guide, hope you liked. If you want to learn to be good at ADC i recommend you to take
Draven or
Vayne as a main champ, then after you learn him/her you can expand your champion pool and then its easier and faster to learn other champs when you get the idea, mechanisms and basics
