Draven is one of the strongest ADC champions around. Use your early game pressure to play aggressive and get kills.
Thanks to his Passive and Q, Draven can earn more gold than a lot of champions if he is able to cash out on his stacks.
Draven is an incredibly strong 1v1 champion and he can out damage and beat most enemy ADC’s in a 1v1. This makes him a great pick into the majority of ADC matchups.
He has a unique mechanic that makes him incredibly hard to master. Playing around his Q is crucial for a good Draven, and it does take some time to get used to.
If you die when you have lots of stacks, you’ll miss out on a lot of free gold. Expect the enemy to overwhelm you in the bottom lane to try to shut you down. Make sure you keep the lane warded at all times to reduce the chances of this happening.
Team fighting can be difficult for Draven as he needs to pick up his Axe’s Q in the fights. If he drops them, he will miss out on damage. Dodging damage, kiting and picking up Axe’s Q can be quite challenging.

Use Draven’s early game strength to get kills in lane and gain a gold lead over the enemy. Draven needs to play aggressive in lane.

If you’ve got lots of stacks Q, don’t be afraid to call for ganks. You have tons of damage and should be able to cash out easily if you can overwhelm the enemy with a gank.

Once you’ve destroyed the first tower in lane, rotate to the mid lane and try to siege the mid tower to open up the map.
While Draven does have tons of kill pressure, it’s important that you do not walk too far away from your team at any given time. Stick with your Support and hold their hand.
Wait for your teammates to make the first move. Let them engage while you focus on auto-attacking the nearest enemy champion and picking up your Axes Q.

It is important that you stick with your team in the late game. Do not move around the map or go anywhere unless someone is with you.

Watch your positioning in the late game. Focus on kiting and auto-attacking the nearest enemy champion. Avoid walking too far forward so you do not get caught out and focused by the enemy. Use your E as a self peel tool.
Draven’s early game is solid. He can out trade most bottom lane champions due to his Q. You must look for fights in the early game to cash out from your Passive.
Draven’s level 6 power spike is powerful. His Ultimate R can be used during skirmishes, unlike some ADC’s such as Caitlyn. Commit to all-ins if you have a slight lead so you can, again, cash out from your Passive.
After Draven’s first back, he will be able to out trade the enemy laners because of his Q. Regardless of if the enemy ADC picked up the same items as you, you will still win a fight. A good Draven is not scared of the enemy- keep that in mind.
When Draven maxes his Q at level 9, his damage output will be incredibly high when trading with the enemy. It will also be on a shorter cooldown which is helpful if you’ve recently dropped an Axe Q.
Depending on how far or behind Draven is, he may be very strong in the mid-game or incredibly weak. It is vital that he doesn’t overextend or get killed at the start of the fight to ensure he can dish out as much damage as possible.

Draven will be able to one-shot the enemy in the late game as long as he watches his positioning and doesn’t get caught out.
At level 13, Draven will max his second ability. This is great for Draven because it will allow offer him additional protection in the late game.
Draven’s level 16 is pretty good. The extra damage his Ultimate R offers him will come in handy and allow him to execute enemies. As his Ultimate R is an AOE ability, it will also deal damage to multiple champions at once.
