Some of you might be going "wtf dude why not get 21/9/0 like everyone else?" Because I don't think the additional 1% Life steal and 6% "finisher" damage is worth the additional defensive bonuses.
This mastery page is meant to afford the player a better time trading on an aggressive AD like Draven. Basically this set up lets you be aggressive more consistently while putting a majority of initially "even" trades in your favor. This set up SHOULD give you an edge in the laning phase. I'm not saying this set up is a "free" win, but against most other bot laners (support or AD) this will give you a bit more durability for trading in lane.



Alternative Summoners:








This item build focuses on giving you a heavy AD advantage which will allow you to utilize



Here is an easy to understand breakdown:
Starting Items:

Doing Poorly (Lane Phase/Early Game)
-Get




Doing Well (Team Fight/Objective Control/Mid Game)
-Get your Phantom Dancer as soon as you can. Due to Draven's passive


-During mid game you also need to decide WHICH route to take. You either build into












Doing Poorly (Team Fight/Objective Control/Mid Game)
-Focus on building an Infinite Edge as soon as possible. The item works well on Draven but isn't as useful as



Doing Well (Baron Fights/Tower Sieges/Inhibitor Kills/Late Game):
-At this point you're doing well, you deal a good amount of damage, have some solid sustain, and are helping your team win fights. NOW what do you build? The other team is getting tankier and recognized you as a threat. They're trying to shut you down as quickly as they can. IF this is the situation you're in (or something similar), then you need some durability or some armor pen to cut down their tanky people faster. Already built





Doing Poorly (Baron Fights/Tower Sieges/Inhibitor Kills/Late Game):
If you're doing poorly and you've been following my advice then you've most likely have your late game item build or are close to it. At this point you now need some survivability. To get this survivability what do you build? THAT'S RIGHT

-Try to keep

-Try to harass the enemy every available moment which you deem safe. Example: They come in for a caster minion kill and you're able to step in and attack.

-Try never to pick into Blitzcrank or Leona (or other similarly aggressive supports). Draven's main downfall is how susceptible he is to CC. Unlike Graves, Ezreal, or Corki who all have "blinks" Draven lacks their level of mobility. IF you ever find yourself laning against the aforementioned supports, I recommend you focus heavily on farming and defensive play.
This guide isn't meant for players who are just learning LoL. It is meant for people who are summoner level 30 and have an idea of what they are doing. I try to provide my perspective of Draven and why I feel the way I build and or play is effective.
Draven isn't for everyone, he's an underrated AD right now but I hope this build/guide might change some minds. At the very least it might get me laid.
