Catch your Spinning Axes (Q) to maintain DPS — the axe direction depends on your movement path when you auto.
League of Draven stacks (passive) convert into gold on first kill — play aggressively to cash in early and snowball.
Your E (Stand Aside) knocks back and slows — use it defensively against engages, not only offensively.
W (Blood Rush) resets when you catch an axe — you have a nearly permanent speed boost in combat.

Playing against Draven
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
Predict where his axes will land (ground indicator) and aim your skillshots there — Draven is predictable.
If Draven dies without cashing in his passive, he loses a large portion of his gold stacks — focus him to prevent snowballing.
Engage when he drops an axe: if he doesn't catch it, his DPS drops considerably.
His E is his only peel — once it's used, he's vulnerable to all-ins and dives.
