League of Draven is a high-risk, high-reward marksman who excels in early game dominance and snowballing potential. His unique axe-catching mechanic sets him apart from other ADCs.

Passive - League of Draven Draven gains Adoration stacks by: - Catching Spinning Axes - Killing non-champions - Destroying towers - Bonus: 2 stacks for killing 6 minions within 10 seconds without dropping axes

When killing enemy champions, Draven cashes in all stacks for bonus gold (25 + 2 per stack). Death results in losing 75% of stacks.

Core Abilities - Q (Spinning Axe): Empowers next auto attack and creates catchable bouncing axe - W (Blood Rush): Grants attack speed and movement speed; resets on catching axes - E (Get Outta Here!): Knocks aside and slows enemies in a line - R (Whirling Death): Global ultimate that throws massive axes, dealing damage both ways

Ability Priority Q > W > E with R at levels 6/11/16

Key Mechanics

  • Maintain two spinning axes for maximum damage
  • Use W reset for positioning and catching axes
  • R can execute low-health targets with Adoration stacks

Early Game Strategy

  • Dominate lane through aggressive trading
  • Build early advantage through CS and kills
  • Focus on catching axes while maintaining position
  • Look for all-in opportunities with support
