I am a Draven OTP in Plat. I like the champ alot but I noticed alot of people have no clue what to do in S11 on draven and Ruin their experience by building garbage. So I decided to make a guide that shows my build and runes and gives people some tips and tricks on how to play Draven

Draven the biggest ADC Bully in town

Passive - LEAGUE OF DRAVEN: Draven gains adoration stacks from killing minions, monsters, towers and catching axes. Adoration stacks cash in on killing an enemy champion... so the more you have the more gold you get on kills! So try to not drop axes and CS well! Also catching axes will stop you from going out of mana.

Q - SPINNING AXE: This is Draven's main source of damage. After pressing Q your next auto attack will deal bonus damage which scales with AD.

W - BLOOD RUSH: Draven gains movement speed and attack speed for a few seconds and the cooldown is refreshed upon catching an axe!(You also get ghosted during the MS boost which means you cant get minion blocked)

E - STAND ASIDE: Draven throws his axes and knocks aside and slows enemy champs! We use his E chase and outplay most of the time.

R - WHIRLING DEATH: Draven hurls two massive axes to deal physical damage to each unit struck. Whirling Death slowly reverses direction and returns to Draven after striking an enemy champion. Draven may also activate this ability while the axes are in flight to cause it to return early.

Pros and Cons of playing Draven!

Pros:
- Strong Laner
- Can snowball and win games quickly
- Can 1v2 and constantly dive bot lanes when ahead
- Biggest Alpha around

Cons:
- Very hard to learn
- Creates bad habits when playing other adc's
- Hard to get back into the game when put behind

Lane Phase:
This is the moment Draven shines the most.
in lane phase you want to be looking all the time for autos on the enemy adc/support because its very hard to out trade you!
You want to slow push ideally for level 2 all in on the enemy adc or support if they are positioned incorrectly.
Dont focus all the attention on trading though, since draven succeeds at getting a huge cs lead just by zoning. This works really well with your passive also.
You can either play lane super aggro and Push the minions into their tower endlessly and punish the adc while he is forced to farm under tower (He cant trade back or he will lose CS). or you can play it more safe and freeze the wave close to your tower and ping for a jungle gank. The most important part is that you do not die without killing someone first because you want to cash in your passive stacks. Trading 1 for 1 is worth 99% of the time on draven. Try and get as many tower plates as possible and get that tower down ASAP! then you move on to the mid game.

Mid game.

Laning phase is over and now you are ahead because you are the biggest Alpha in town. To proof this you will leave bot lane and go either Mid or Top to take the tower in that lane as well. You go top when Drake is down and you go mid when Drake is up because killing the Lizard is great! once you got the top or mid tower. you rotate to the last lane left and take that one as well.

Teamfighting

Now you are done with mid game and you played the game absolutely amazing. You are ahead. Now you realize Draven isnt the greatest teamfighting ADC in town because you have to position kite AND catch those axes. you dont wanna be exposed as a fake Alpha Male but how? Well in Teamfights Do not be afraid to let axes go since they are the most common cause of getting caught. Position in the back line and auto whats closest to you most of the time. If you have RFC you can try and poke people before the teamfight begins. With experience you will be able to judge whether you can run past their front line and kill the whole of their backline. Draven hasnt got the most range for an adc but once he is in range, he does Insane damage!
Your ult deals insane damage late and its AOE so dont be afraid to throw it into them when they are stacked as 5 instead of keeping it to snipe someone that ran off

Short Summary

Lane phase:
- Look for trades constantly
- Ping support for all in
- Freeze the wave so your jungle can easily gank or push and poke till you can dive

Teamfighting:
- Dont try to catch axes that will endanger you
- Look for ults that hit multiple people
- Use RFC to poke (If you have it)
- If you know you can kill the backline and you see an opening GO FOR IT!

Beginner:
- Attacking and then moving in a direction decides where your axes will land.
- Calling back your R right before it hits a champ will give the enemy less chance of sidestepping or flashing away (on your minimap the axe icon will be on the champ you are trying to hit at the moment you have to call it back)
- You can juggle more than 2 axes do do more damage.

Advanced:
- R - Auto - Flash - Auto - R Back for alot of damage (when ahead this will oneshot)
- AA - E - AA is a great way to short trade since it deals alot of dmg and ccs the enemy and cancels their hits
- Your W is a great ability but it can actually CANCEL your auto attacks so do not spam it and try to weave it in between auto attacks.

I hope people can Improve their Draven gameplay with this guide so they can start enjoying the glorious Alpha as much as I do. If you liked the Guide I would love it if you left a Upvote. If you did not like it or have any tips. Leave it in the comments!
