Playing as Draven

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Catch every axe

    Catch every Spinning Axe (Q): you ready another one immediately, and you can hold two at once.

  2. Recast W on each axe

    Recast Blood Rush (W) with each axe you catch: each catch resets its cooldown, and the spell gives you move speed and attack speed.

  3. Cash in your Adoration

    Go for the kill when your League of Draven (passive) stacks are high: killing a champion gives you bonus gold based on your Adoration.

  4. Knock back whoever engages you

    Save Stand Aside (E) to push back whoever engages you: the axes knock them aside and slow them.

Playing against Kog'Maw

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Engage when his W ends

    Engage when Bio-Arcane Barrage (W) ends: his attack range drops back to 500, and the spell has a 17-second cooldown.

  2. Punish his lack of mobility

    If you can engage, go for him: with no dash or leap, Kog'Maw can only back off on foot, and Void Ooze (E) is his only slow.

  3. Leave his R range at low health

    Below 40% health, get out of range of Living Artillery (R): each shot then deals its max damage to you, and it reaches very far.

  4. Move away when he dies

    When he dies, move away from him: Icathian Surprise (passive) makes him explode 4 seconds later, dealing true damage to nearby enemies.
