How to beat Draven

Common role: ADC

A snowball lane-bully marksman who catches spinning axes for huge early damage.

What makes Draven dangerous

Draven does enormous early damage by catching his spinning axes for stacking bonus attacks, and killing champions grants him gold bounty (Adoration stacks). If he snowballs, his lead spirals out of control. But if you deny him — force him to drop axes or die without cashing in — he falls behind fast.

How to play against Draven

• 1Make him move to catch axes. His axes land away from him — every time you force him to reposition or dodge, he risks dropping an axe and losing his damage ramp.
• 2Deny his snowball: he loses his stacked gold bounty on death without spending it. Playing safe and shutting him down denies a huge chunk of gold.
• 3He has no escape — only his W speed boost. Hard CC and dive punish an over-extended Draven hard.
• 4Respect his level 1-2 all-in but out-scale him. Draven is strongest early; survive the lane and most ADCs match or beat him later.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓No escape besides a speed buff — vulnerable to CC and dives.
• ✓Loses stacked gold bounty on death.
• ✓Managing axes limits his mobility in fights.
• ✓Falls off relative to hyper-scaling ADCs.

Abilities & how to counter them

What each of Draven's abilities does — and how to play around it.

• P
  リーグ・オブ・ドレイヴン

  ドレイヴンが「回転斬斧」をキャッチするか、ミニオンおよび中立モンスター、タワーを破壊すると「名声」がたまる。敵チャンピオンを倒すとドレイヴンがスポットライトと喝采を浴び、「名声」の量に応じてゴールドを獲得する。

  Strong: kills bank stacking gold bounty (Adoration). Weak: he loses it on death without cashing in — killing him denies a huge gold swing.

• Q
  回転斬斧

  次の通常攻撃に追加物理ダメージが付与される。対象に命中した斧は空中に跳ね返り、キャッチすると次の攻撃にも「回転斬斧」の効果がつく。「回転斬斧」は2回までスタックする。

  Strong: spinning axes stack massive early auto damage. Weak: axes land away from him — force him to move/dodge and he risks dropping them and losing his ramp.

• W
  血の疼き

  移動速度と攻撃速度が増加する。増加移動速度は、時間の経過とともに急速に減少する。「回転斬斧」をキャッチすると「血の疼き」のクールダウンがリセットされる。

• E
  薙ぎ払い

  斧を投げ、命中した敵に物理ダメージを与えて横に弾き飛ばし、スロウ効果を付与する。

• R
  死の車輪

  巨大な斧を2丁投げ、命中した全ユニットに物理ダメージを与える。敵チャンピオンに命中すると斧は自身のもとへ戻ってくる。斧が飛んでいる間に再度このスキルを発動すれば、途中で呼び戻すことも可能。ユニットに命中するごとに与えるダメージが減少するが、進行方向が変わると減少はリセットされる。敵の体力が「名声」のスタック数を下回る場合はとどめを刺す。

Itemization

Draven is an early-game crit AD marksman. Don't try to out-trade his early spike — play safe, deny his snowball, and punish with hard CC and dives. Exhaust in fights and armor blunt his massive auto damage.
