4 tips to counter Miss Fortune as Draven

During a skirmish, try to save your E for as long as you can. This is because Miss Fortune will try to channel her Ultimate on you at some point during a full all-in and your E can be used to cancel it and help you chase down Miss Fortune after cancelling the Ultimate.
Keep the wave in the middle of the lane and trade regularly. Keep track ofer Support though, Play a bit defensively if they have a hard engage Support as hard CC is a necessity to take Draven down in a lane.
While CS’ing, if your axe indicator drops near a low health friendly minion, you may want to consider letting it go as Miss Fortune will try to Q that minion, which will do a lot of damage due to the Q ricochet and can be fatal if you’re low on HP.
If Miss Fortune tries to E you and all-in you during laning phase, use your E on her as soon as her E ends and then chase her down with your W and Support. She’ll lose her Passive when you hit her with your E, making her an easy target to catch up to.

2. Miss Fortune vs Twitch

Twitch benefits from extended trades, which is the opposite of Miss Fortune. Twitch is also much stronger than her if he is able to sneak up on her with his Q. When paired with a utility Support, he should come out ahead of this matchup with ease.

At level 2 MissFortune will have the raw power advantage. With her Q she can deal a lot of damage to you through minions, stay away from them.
As Twitch you want to freeze the wave either in the middle of the lane or close to your tower versus MissFortune. By doing this you will make it possible for your Jungler to gank and help you.
MissFortune’s Ultimate will deal more damage than yours, but that’s only if she manages to find a place to stay safe. Try not to let her team get the engage on you, and rather call your Jungler down to make her Ultimate useless.
When trading with MissFortune you should keep her E in mind, as she will use it to slow you down and thus getting free hits on you. Try to bait it out or avoid it.

3. Miss Fortune vs Jhin

When paired with an aggressive all-in Support, Jhin can be incredibly challenging to play against. Miss Fortune is pretty immobile and prone to CC, so picking Jhin (with a CC champion) will allow you to dominate the lane against a Miss Fortune.

Standing near your caster minions will force MissFortune to push the wave, if she wants to poke with her E. Use this as a wave control option.

Swain has lots of sustain, an easy to hit CC tool and a surprising amount of all-in pressure. Swain can do very well against Miss Fortune because he can turn around exchanges too. He can also cancel her Ultimate with his E, or use his W while she is stood still for a free stack!
