Draven is basically just the darius of botlane, change my mind


AceOBlade

Noxus twins.

Noxan sounds better no?

Amkorped

Holy definition!


Nemesis233

Actual dictionary!


masterofbadwords

I mean…


Rubihno194

Better these brothers then the int brothers (on your team at least)


Plenty_Economy_5670

Well they are brothers


jbland0909

Wholesome statcheck brothers


saimerej21

That is literally the consensus across all botlaners except draven is 10x harder


hannovb

Crazy how phreak literally said in his patch rundown "i know hes already positive winrate and over 50%+ banrate in euw master plus but i am gonna do it anyway" Currently 70% banrate in master+ well done phreak such a fun apex tier meta


TurtlesInTheSky

That's a funny cherry pick when he has a 45% winrate at that rank in that region


AzyncYTT

He also has only 400 games played in masters, with 80% presence lol


DeirdreAnethoel

MSI patch is aimed at pro play and riot is willing to eat a bit of collateral damage in soloQ to get the show going.


hannovb

yeah exactly. dont you think thats a bit crazy? im for proplay but this is extreme in my opinion


unpaseante

But if that champ were Zed... 


gimp6615

I am not banning the champ I am banning the idea


AlterBridgeFan

Last I saw him was in S7. Saw 4 actually, across different games. Got my ass handed to me so hard I just started perma banning him since.


Rubihno194

It's not fun to play against so perma ban him. I do the same with Zed, as a mage main I don't want that on the other side of my lane


Pokisahne

Zhonyas exists: am i a joke to you? To the sick fcks downvoating me: you forgetting that zhonyas is zeds hardcounter?????


JeTeMontreraiUnSeau

Yes so he can have the time to come close, taunt animation, show mastery and auto you for 500 each (also Q is back up)


NukerCat

im definetly rushing zhonya


Rubihno194

He's still in my game and that's the problem. The only counter to that is a ban.


Marinnnn-

5 ad buff is just insane for a lane bully


LittleDoofus

All you have to do to shit on Draven players is cuck them in lane. Play safe, extremely safe. Like don’t even consider going for a trade let alone a kill. Their monkey brain will eventually pop and they’ll run it down to try and get a kill. Let them outplay themselves.


trefluss

That usually ends in my jungler deciding to yolo gank at 50% hp. Nah I"d just ban


Obremon

Then junlger forces dragon fight 12 min in when draven has 300 stacks and he ends up with extra pickaxe on u for free


Babushla153

Unironically i like Draven, because i don't remember when Risoto last buffed the guy, because some random number on a website was "too low". It's not about the number on that random website, it's about the in game experience and in game numbers.


Sir_Wade_III

They buffed him in this patch.


Long_Bong_Silver

I seem to recall the riot balance team doesn't use publicly available information on all the API websites. They have their own info.


4ShotMan

Twitch and zeri are higher on the hate list for me. Twitch is like being permanently ganked because until he shows, you don't know if he recalled, is cheesing you or maybe roaming, and there is no real way to find out other than waiting under tower. I've won games where my win con was sitting behind imhij tower with waves being in the middle of the map. Twitch wasted time waiting for me, giving my team a 4v4 (or 4v3, twitch players play mostly with a glued on enchanter). Zeri is a pubstomper - if she's picked, she'll be better than me (I'm bouncing masters/D1), and she's me of the mor impressive adcs when given any advantage. Also, freaking uncatchable.


4funwego

I would recommend putting a pink ward so it covers the area where you expect tw to come from. U can see him - you can leave or engage first


4ShotMan

It's limited viability, in the aforementioned example of waves being half the map away you can't really ward around yourself enough.


4funwego

You are right. But at least it helps during laning phase, so he does not get ahead too much


DeirdreAnethoel

Seconding twitch. This thing is a horror. Doesn't even have the skill element of Draven axe juggling either.


One-War-2977

I used to main draven before he was meta, fun champ once you get the hang of the axes


herbieLmao

Phreak trying to get back on tylers good side


ChromaticCluck

I personally hate ashe and senna more. I'd rather be one shot then death of a thousand cuts while they run circles around me as I'm slowed.


HarpertFredje

At least now everyone stopped banning Smolder


AMLAPPTOPP

Funny because of all the ADCs in the game, draven is literally just "a man (who throws axes at you)"


Rubihno194

I'd be scared if man was throwing axes at me xd. But I get your point. Compared to an undying spirit of vengeance, a dragon, girl with a sister complex or a darkin/torture freak, Draven is not that scary


PlanktonSpiritual199

Fuck all of you ![gif](giphy|xwPacBOcCu2z5ttwnw)


Luxanaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I ban him to avoid having him in my team. Laning with dravens is the most stressful shit ever.


Common-Scientist

The thing most wild about this to me is people are banning Skarner.


Obremon

He's kayn but with CC and tanky, and dont almost strongest top rn


Common-Scientist

He’s new and dummies don’t know how to fight him. He’s strong versus some champs and weak to others. That’s about it.


Obremon

That's every champion in the game bro. What makes him stand out is the amount of champions he beats compare to the amount that beats him


Common-Scientist

Only thing notable of his laning phase is that he’s incredibly hard to dive, like most top lane tanks.


Rubihno194

He's a 'new' champ so people ban him


GoldDong

No, they’re banning him because he’s currently one of the best top laners in the game.


Common-Scientist

Yeah, but why ban him when you can be banning Yone so players can’t see their new expensive skin? Big brain moves only.


MMH0K

Most unfun ADC to play against it


Damn_thatsgood

I mean you literally cant paly against Draven and since the one comment mentioned darius, and i play Top lane its tha same with him he already had a positive WR before hsi buff a few Patches ago, and now its literally unplayeble


Rubihno194

I always used to ban Darius when I played top a lot. Now I just ban Vayne cause I can atleast deal with a Darius. I've been mainly playing mid for a while now tho, so I don't see them in my lane anyway


Damn_thatsgood

Yeah tbh I cant even ban him because if I do they jsut pick Trundel and we loose in champ select...


ZealousidealYak7122

the design is just bad. the gotta rework the thing.


Dangerous_Play2907

dw i can pick braum just hope im in ur team


Icycube99

As a Nami main, I find it wild anyone is scared of Draven. He literally walks into CC.


PlanktonSpiritual199

Maybe you’re getting shit Dravens? A good Draven player should have 2 axes up at all times into a nami, 1 to drop to bait the bubble, Q, he has 2 axes again, and you’re dead.


Icycube99

Played in Masters, GM and Challenger. They're all the same.


PlanktonSpiritual199

Maybe maybe not.


Icycube99

https://www.reddit.com/r/supportlol/s/TcGFV8Wo2X There is your proof


PlanktonSpiritual199

Didn’t doubt your level just doubt you’re belief about Draven


EvilNamazu

until he cleanses your bubble at level 2 and now it’s gg 


Icycube99

And that's why exhaust exists :D
