Draven Counter

Draven counter play and strategies. Keeping the trades short is the best way to counter Draven in the long run (before his first item). As long as you auto-attack and trade with him when he either has dropped an ax or is locked in auto-attack animation you should win lane easy.

Things To Consider When Playing Against Draven

  • If Draven attempts to catch one of his axes, take advantage of the opportunity to poke him with a skill shot (Varus, Caitlyn) or CC from support (Thresh, Blitz, Leona).
  • To reduce his damage output, do not allow him to catch his axes.
  • If you can’t stop him from catching axes, be sure to play safe as his high damage output can melt most bot lane champs.
  • The best time to engage is when he misses an ax. His damage output is significantly reduced.
