- No dash/re-position ability - Weaker early game than other ADs - Super late game his passive does nothing! But it's ok, most games don't actually reach that point. |

21/9/0 is the best mastery setup for Draven. He can't really make good use of

Draven is arguably the strongest carry at level 1 because of his Q. It is by far better to take than any of his other abilities. At level 2 taking W gives him a attack speed and movement speed steroid which allows him to heavy win trades and all-ins. Taking E level 3 gives him even more all-in potential giving him a crowd control. I think this is the best set up because it gives access to his first 3 abilities as soon as possible which will greatly help him win his lane. There are options to take early 2 points into Q but typically it is not worth doing. You will get more damage and utility by taking all 3 abilities.

(Tips & Tricks)
(Early Game)
Try to farm as much as possible to stack up your passive. You generally lose trades unless your support does something fancy, they fight you in a creep wave, or just overextend. Once you get a
B. F. Sword or
Vampiric Scepter you can start picking fights. Catch as many axes as you can and stack 'em up!
You should try to push the wave down so that you kill the wave faster than your opponent. Therefore your creeps stack up and you’re able to auto attack them down while they run from them. Any time they go for a CS while you don't have a creep to kill you should auto attack them. Move back immediately afterwards to avoid any retaliation from creeps or champions which will also make your
Spinning Axe follow you.
Once you hit 6 you'll easily be able to win most fights.
(Mid Game)
You should have either a bunch of stacks piled up, or you got a kill and cashed in big!! Or you're feeding, but that's okay too. Keep stacking that passive then get a kill and you'll instantly be nearing the enemy ADC. If you're fed you'll have 2+ items and be able to crush most opponents. Try and push out your advantage onto the enemy AD as much as possible while still being safe. Get wards up all over bot and farm up/charge at the enemy AD whenever possible. Use your ult to clear big waves that will delay the enemies push, throw a
Stand Aside as well after the ult if it's enough.
(Late Game)
You'll probably have your items before the enemy AD so try to abuse that very hard. You chunk extremely hard with this and can turn a losing game around once you get it. Make sure not to overextend without your team at this point since deaths at this stage matter the most.
(Team Fights)
Stay in the backline and deal as much damage as possible to the squishiest targets possible. Don't overextend to catch a
Spinning Axe unless it's your only one. You deal significantly less damage than a lot of ADs without at least one
Spinning Axe running so catching that one axe to be out of position for a second is probably worth it. Throw your ult onto the stacked up squishy carries if that ever happens, otherwise save it to try and finish somebody off in the fight. Throwing it on the tanks is probably never worth it unless it's obviously going to net you a kill.
- After throwing a
Spinning Axe, click in the direction you want it to land and it'll follow you. Although with enough move speed, you have to stop to catch the axes or move a little backwards since they always land the same distance away.
- When doing dragon or baron if you stand against the little walls at the entrance/exit of the pit, your
Spinning Axe will land in the exact same spot for you to spam catch and throw.
- When throwing your ultimate out, you should try and time it so that the second it hits the target you want, it'll reverse back to you immediately on top of them so they guaranteed get hit by both sides of it. It's pretty hard to do especially in close proximity. It's mainly for sniping people but can be used at 1500~ range.
- If the enemy you're chasing or trying to get away from has a gap-closer try to predict their gap-closer and use
Stand Aside to stop it.
