Laning Against Draven

Draven's key weakness is crowd control, particularly stuns, snares, and knock-ups. Target your CC abilities at his Axe (Q) drop locations for maximum effectiveness.

Watch out for his early game snowball potential through his Passive and Q abilities. If you're struggling in the 2v2 lane, request jungle assistance to reset his Adoration stacks by securing a kill.

Avoid direct trades with Draven in the early game unless he drops an Axe (Q), as he typically wins most early exchanges.

Effective Counter Strategy

Play respectfully against Draven, especially if he secures early kills. Monitor his item progression and adjust your playstyle accordingly.

In team fights, focus on:

• Applying CC to disrupt his Axe catching
• Targeting him when his Adoration stacks are high to prevent gold bonuses
• Exploiting his vulnerability while managing Axes
