Introduction

Welcome to the start of the guide Draven - Who wants some Draven!?
First of, i would like to thank everyone for looking at this guide, which i assume
you did, if you're reading this now.
this is my first published guide, and i have never done anything like this before.
This guide will consists of the ascepts of Draven. how i play him, how i build him, and
what i do with him + some basic knowledge as well! doesn't that sound great?
Also check out my Youtube channel for more videos for Draven, and any other champion, as well as getting entertained at a daily basis. My Youtube Channel
You may be wondering "What spells should i use?", or "I'm unsure what goes well with what".
if so, fear not! i'll be explaining a bit about summoner spells in this section.
Very useful spells

it goes well with almost everything, and it's a matter of taste, and playstyle for choosing this over the summoner spell







though this spell also should be also be considered, since it is a very useful spell, and if you know, that you may get in sticky situations to being able to secure a kill, this might just be the right choice instead of ignite or exhaust.
though i recommend talking it over with the support going with you in your lane, about what summoner spells you two should be using, since the support might be able to heal, which makes the summoner spell Clairvoyance


though it's totally up to you, i don't like taking it on Draven as Draven's passive






it could be a great option for you, but as i've said before with the other summoners spells, it totally depends on your choice of gamestyle. though i would recommend getting another summoner spell, and buying a Quicksilver Sash


I don't recommend taking this spell, as Draven already have a reasonable amount of attack speed at mid game, laning phase to contest other ad carries, at least when using my build and guide. so i feel this spell is a waste of space for another more useful summoner spell. though this is just my opinion based on this guide as this guide describes how i like to play Draven.



Less useful spells
though i'll give a brief explaination for them.

there's some really important things you'll want to know.
Lasthitting
You may already know, that lasthitting means. if you don't i'll explain it. Lasthitting is a concept, that means, only hitting minions, if you kill them in one hit. that's why it's called last hitting.
Lasthitting is very important for you, as it is a major factor, in how much you will be able to get ahead of the enemy ad carry and team, and use that advantage to dominate.
When you're trying to last hit, be sure to attack so you'll kill the minions, but be aware of the enemy team in your lane, they will surely try to harass you, and disrupt your lasthitting.
this takes you to the next thing.
To better give you an understanding, i've created a video, to show it inside the game, and explain it a bit also.
Harassing
This is also another very major factor, in how you'll be able to dominate in your lane, and also raises the chance for a kill, or successful gank!
if you're not quite sure about the meaning of harassing/harassmentor just haven't heard of it before, i'll briefly explain it. the concept Harassing, means that you do a little by little damage to your enemies.
It's something that is very useful for you to be able to do. it might take a little training to practice when to harass the enemy, and when to not to do so.
I've created this video, to show it in game, and to explain it a little more simple.
How to play Early Game (Laning Phase
Playing as Draven is quite fun, even in early game. but it is hard. this is because you have to catch the axe which you activated with

As Draven, you will want to focus on last hitting with your axe most of the time, and lead it away from your enemy. i recommend activating a second spinning axe



Besides dominating your lane, and getting alot of last hits, you will want to look at your map, to see how many of the other enemies are shown, and where, to prevent yourself from being ganked, and also to be able to call for an early dragon

In this section, i'll explain and go trough everything you want to know, about Mid game.
In mid game you will most of the time begin to shine bright, as a bright star!
Around this point, you will have gotten Berserkers Greaves



When entering mid lane, you already have made sure of getting some of expensive items, such as Zeal



Try to focus on staying behind your teammates, and see if you can find a opening for a bit of harassment when your and the enemy team line up for a team fight.
most of the team, you and the enemy will fire skillshots, or what ever they can hit with a little while before initiating into a fight. that's why you will want to be harassing as well around this point, but when the teamfight starts, see if you can sneak trough the enemy lines, and shut down their AD Carry, or AP Carry. after both of them are dead, you will want to mainly focus on killing the remaining enemy team. Also remember to help your teammates, if they're in a tough situation, and you are the only one who can save them, do so.
Besides what i've just talked about, i'll give you a little list, with things you should be generally focusing on, besides coming for teamfights, and be active in them.

1.
2. Look at the map. if you think this to yourself, after looking at the map "Oh someone is totally out of position, and i can kill them", you should immediately head over there, and kill them. though be careful and on alert when doing so, the enemy players will most likely notice you, and most of the time will head over there immediately also. so Do it fast, do it the right way.
3. The bigger advantage you can get, the better your team gets. Use every possible situation, and get yourself more ahead of the enemy team. this will help your team ALOT
i'm sorry for not publishing this guide in a finished state, though this is the first guide i've ever made, and i'm interested in any guidance, tips, and advice for how to improve what i already have, or suggestions for new sections.
Thanks beforehand
