You realize you can guide how your axe returns, right? It's dependent on your vector/speed when Q hits.

Yes I do.

Your point?

I mean you know what a waste of time it is to run backwards to catch one etc? esp as your aspd is rly high

Protip: Adjust your build. Stacking PDs might not be the way to play Draven.
Protip: Guide the axe to the side, or in whatever direction you need to go anyways.
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

Does the speed really affect the point where the axe lands? From what I've seen it just goes a set distance based on your current MS, all you have to do it take even a single step in a direction right when your aa hits. Or did I miss something and there are further tricks to controlling the axe?

You can watch many live Asian matches on the GarenaTW channel (but usually it's of lesser Asian teams or TPA stomping these lesser Asian teams) http://www.twitch.tv/garenatw

Their youtube channels have many saved vods as well

Personally I think TPA is the best team in the world, I honestly don't see any weakness in their current team.

The axe lands closer to you if you're not moving when the aa hits, so presumably you can control its distance by pressing stop a split second before the axe hits your target.

If you're just CSing it's often useful to just stand still so the axe just launches to a close by spot.

Adjust how? And situations change and if you need to go in a different direction your dps becomes shit.

Not to mention that the dmg is shit in the first place, like in order for his Qs to deal more bonus dmg than Graves QR he needs to auto like what, 10 times? And this is without taking into account that graves QR is AoE. Or the better steroid. Or blind. Or leap.


Also I guess it could be just me, but I've went from 1.4k elo to 1.22k elo by playing only Draven today

Best runes on shyv are all AD. She's only hard to gank with if you don't know how to gank. She's not that tanky later since her only tank skill is her ult passive but you need to be continuously autoattacking to maximize damage. She's very strong 1v1 and a very fast jungler thus you can force a lot of 2v2, 3v3 situations early to your advantage. No idea what you guys are talking about with stuff like "upswing in midlane warding." She's a much better jungler than warwick you guys are delusional.


Whether or not you "know how to gank" is largely irrelevant, at a basic mechanical level Mundo/Nautilus/Nocturne are better at it than Shyvana. No one is arguing Shyvana can't gank, simply that she's not as effective as most of her peers.

My basic point is there are reasons we didn't see much of Shyvana during the tournament. Wards around midlane cutting off invasions and revealing intentions, junglers who can both clear quickly and gank, allies clearing wraiths/wolves/golems when the jungler is indisposed, all of these things have become commonplace and all of them cut into what made Shyvana popular in the first place. The trends which made Shyvana popular have shifted away.

This isn't to say she's a terrible jungler, just that her rarity at MLG was not random.

Meh, there are a ton of champions that are viable/good but not popular she just isn't as explored as mundo which clears jungle faster but ganks worse.

Agreed. He's not reliable.

Not to mention that the dmg is shit in the first place, like in order for his Qs to deal more bonus dmg than Graves QR he needs to auto like what, 10 times? And this is without taking into account that graves QR is AoE. Or the better steroid. Or blind. Or leap.


Actually at level 1 the number of Qs to beat a 2 hit buck shot is... 2. Would be 3 but Draven passive. Late game Draven's Qs will outdamage Graves Q easy peasy. Draven R is less reliable than Graves R but they can do similar damage. Still, Graves will always be more reliable, have more burst, and have a blind over Draven.

Also I guess it could be just me, but I've went from 1.4k elo to 1.22k elo by playing only Draven today


I'm sure it's not just you. He has pretty glaring weaknesses and he's hard to play to boot.

His Q's don't even matter that much to be honest. If you catch even one in the middle of a team fight you're pretty much set. His E is a very good non-ulti disrupt, probably the best for any ad carry actually, W is a very good refreshable mini steroid, and utli I would just throw in the middle of the fight for a hell of a lot more damage.
Maybe you're paying attention to the axes too much? I dunno.

He's hard to play. Just suck it up and accept that you're not playing him as well as he can be played. You can't just say a hard to play champ sucks when he's just been out for a week.
If he was strong enough that people would do really well with him right now, he'd be OP in 3 days. And after the nerf he'd be OP in another 5 days.
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

Um...

So can you tell me what's good about him then instead of telling me I'm bad?

I just said that he's likely not figured out yet. How would I know?
Also I didn't say you're bad, I said everyone's bad with Draven right now.

So I'm considering picking up Renek since he's on sale and I have a bit of RP. Any reason that he's not seen a lot of play recently? I see only 6 games with him at MLG, and only a 1/3 win rate with him there. Is he niche or is he just underplayed?
