I haven't tried it, but since everyone thinks Blitz is anti-Draven, anyone else think he'd be a good laning partner for him on a coordinated team? Draven's E would open up a path for his grab (or any support's line skillshot.) Similarly, it could be used to help open a path for a jungler to come into a lane, if a bit obvious.
The biggest use I've seen for it is to interrupt movement abilities. For example, I was spectating a game last night where Draven threw it at an Amumu who was Bandage Tossing onto a group of people. While it didn't stop the stun, it stopped Amumu from moving forward (knocking him aside midair), so he couldn't get his ult off.
I find Draven's E and Ult to be severely disappointing.
His Ult doesn't do enough damage and takes too much manage to be really that useful in a teamfight. I resorted to using it to snipe low-health champs after a teamfight.

Personally I think the idea that Blitzcrank counters Draven is severely overblown. Minions typically get in the way of where your axe drops, and not picking up the axe doesn't have any huge deteriment to it if you're not engaging. Also, you have an instant move speed buff to dodge the grab, so if anything, it's a lot easier to dodge incoming grabs than with say, Tris or Kog. I find it even easier to dodge grabs than with Vayne.
This coming from someone who routinely gets wrecked by Blitzcranks.

This crushes my dreams of inventing something original. I've been building nashor's tooth instead of PD on Ashe for forever.
I hate nashor's tooth with a passion. As much as anybody I'd love to be a unique flower like caller was with speed Garen and trinity Morde but I draw the line at considering NT a good item on any champ anywhere for any purpose.

Turn the animations back off, they're creepy and weird. For example, why was Darius' armor breathing? Did that not bug anyone else?
Had the Draven login music stuck in my head when I woke up this morning lol. Pumped for Friday now
The best decision Riot ever made was telling their music person, "You know what, you don't have to shoehorn the League theme into everything. Have a blast." Every intro screen since then has been fantastic.

You should. If you're commentary is anything like your top tier posting I will make every effort to tune in when I can
It's waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay harder to say something insightful on the fly while paying attention to your game than it is to peruse a thread in a leisurely manner, stroke one's beard thoughtfully, and then carefully construct a sage response.
Not to say I won't try, but if you're expecting every play to involve post-quality thoughts and insights you'll probably be sorely disappointed.

I'll make it a lenient anything close I totally get that. Trying to teach someone while playing the game is super hard haha.
Just from picks seems like M5 is going to win even if they weren't M5 (M5) Malphite, Morg, Kog, Soraka, Shen vs (Salad Supreme) Noct, Ashe, Janna, Darius, Cassio http://www.twitch.tv/ipllol

M5's composition is terribly reliant on Kog not messing up a single time, Salad's comp is extremely high DPS together with Ashe Arrow. Both can win, depends on skill.

shen morgana soraka? he can mess up all he wants, he won't die.
I am seriously enjoying playing support nowadays. I originally didn't, thought it was really boring, but it's so fun knowing that you're saving everything and securing kills. Plus, you just get to chill in lane and put on pressure without worrying about last hitting, which is nice, one of the reasons I like jungling as well.
Taric feels like he falls off lategame (just a stunbot with auras), so Imma learn either Janna, Soraka, or Alistar. Lulu and Leona too expensive for a support T.T
Edit: Also watching the tournament. Why do people not ban Morg? Too stronk.
And a random aside: is there such a thing as Morg support? Snare, shield (while nothing against autos, stops CC well), and of course the ult. Of course she's better mid, but is it anything to consider?

It might help your communication skills. You'll learn to talk and do things at the same time.
