Laning Against Draven

Draven's key weakness is crowd control - particularly stuns, snares, and knock-ups. When playing champions with skillshot CC abilities, target them at his Axe (Q) drop locations for maximum effectiveness.

His passive ability (Adoration) combined with his Q makes him one of the strongest snowballing champions. If you can't win 2v2 engagements, request jungle assistance to reset his Adoration stacks through kills.

Early game trading against Draven is risky as he typically overpowers most champions. Only engage when he drops an Axe.

Strategy VS Draven

Maintain a cautious approach, as Draven can dominate if he secures early kills. Monitor his item progression and adjust your playstyle accordingly.

Team fights present a challenge for Draven due to Axe management. Focus on applying CC to disrupt his Axe catching and damage output.

Target Draven when his Adoration stacks are high to prevent him from cashing in significant gold bounties.
