Playing against Draven

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

1

Predict where his axes will land (ground indicator) and aim your skillshots there — Draven is predictable.

2

If Draven dies without cashing in his passive, he loses a large portion of his gold stacks — focus him to prevent snowballing.

3

Engage when he drops an axe: if he doesn't catch it, his DPS drops considerably.

4

His E is his only peel — once it's used, he's vulnerable to all-ins and dives.
