People seem to be levelling Q at lvl 3 for draven, IMO getting all three skills at lvl 3 is by far stronger (I typically go Q E W Q)

One of the other issues I'm having with his passive change is that I feel forced to run a full AD page (or AD + LS quints) to have any early presence in lane. I used to be able to go full ArPen and still do the same damage early (1~2 dmg lower at lvl 1 and got way better after that) and scale better into late game. Any other draven players feel they have been forced to swap from ArPen to AD on him for runes?

I tried triforce a bit but wasn't really impressed, draven simply scales too hard off AD to make the sheen proc really worth it. I've been experimenting with double BT as first two major items, I feel it matches dravens style of play much better than going for crit/as early. He pretty much has to be aggresive in teamfights otherwise he does no damage, unlike typical adc's that are better at poking/kiting, the extra lifesteal makes you quite a bit harder to kill and with W up you have enough AS to juggle 2 axes comfortably. I'd usually follow that up with PD/IE/LW with LW earlier if they have made armour early.

I've heard good things about Triforce on Draven because of his W refresh but I've never tried that myself. I'm curious about how the speed boost from phage affects is axe catching.


Im guessing it gets better the better you get at draven.. so could be hit or miss for people below diamond.

To Handfish: Arpen was fine because his bleed didn't scale with physical damage at all, only levels. Now, yeah you need the flat AD to not lose trades.

And if you are buying Trinity on Draven for the phage its really not effective, as the bonus MS you get is minimal due to soft caps and with just boots 2 + zeal your movespeed is already way past the 2nd soft cap (2 caps, 415 ms which is 80% reduction and 490 which is around 20% reduction?).

Draven can get huge amounts of procs due to his W refresh, but overall I think Trinity is very meh. Stacking AD/crit/arpen is probably better on him because his Q with some ad is insane.

(have not actually tried trinity draven)

After watching someone play BT->Trinity->LW Draven I have to conclude that it is scary strong. massive massive lifesteal, damage, mobility, and tankiness... He regularly mans up in 1v2/1v3 and comes out ahead.

EDIT: http://www.twitch.tv/gordanramseygaming/b/464211195?t=1h11m for support POV of 3 such games.. first 2 vs a challenger 5's team thirds vs some mixed bag of diamonds.
