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
  德莱文联盟

  在接住一把旋转飞斧或者击杀了一个小兵、野怪或防御塔后，德莱文会从他的粉丝那里获得崇拜效果。击杀一名敌方英雄会为德莱文提供额外赏金，赏金的多少取决于他拥有多少层崇拜效果。

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

• Q
  旋转飞斧

  德莱文的下次攻击会造成额外物理伤害。这个斧头将会从目标身上弹到高空。如果德莱文接住了它，那么会立刻准备好下一发旋转飞斧。德莱文可以同时拥有2发旋转飞斧。

  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
  血性冲刺

  德莱文获得移动速度和攻击速度加成。移动速度加成在持续时间过后会急剧下降。在接到一把旋转飞斧后，血性冲刺会立刻冷却完毕。

• E
  开道利斧

  德莱文扔出他的斧头，对命中的目标造成物理伤害，并将他们击退至一边。被命中的目标会受到减速效果。

• R
  冷血追命

  德莱文掷出两柄大斧，对命中的每个单位造成物理伤害。在命中一名敌方英雄后，大斧会缓慢地调转方向，并回到德莱文身边。在斧头正在向外飞的时候，德莱文可以激活该技能来让斧头早点飞回来。每命中一个单位，伤害值就会减少。在斧头调转方向时，伤害值会重置。会处决那些生命值低于德莱文崇拜层数的敌人们。

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.
