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 Ziggs

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Walk around his mines

    Walk around Hexplosive Minefield (E): each mine explodes on contact and slows you, which helps him land his other spells.

  2. Engage after his Satchel Charge

    If you can engage, go in right after Satchel Charge (W): it's his only way to get away, on a 20 to 12 second cooldown.

  3. Get out of the center of his bomb

    If Mega Inferno Bomb (R) lands on you, at least get out of the center: the center of the blast deals more damage than the edge.
