Oh, and be sure to pair up with a Janna. You pop an axe, Janna shields you, you proceed to chunk the hell out of the enemy.

Any more opinions? What I'm most worried about is his late game. :/

FYI, his passive stacks. So your DPS is higher than other carries late, even if you neglect axes.

His damage sure doesn't fall off though. Draven's Q-augmented autoattacks can break 800 damage each, if they crit.

He loses that "Holy **** I'm the best" feeling, but he definitely doesn't become obsolete. He can and will still fulfill the role of ADC adequately and then some. If you -know- there's a team fight coming up, try to get some axe stacks going so that you can unload without worrying about catching them. Casting Q will refresh the timer so you can sit on that 3rd or 4th axe then cast Q to give you a fresh timer just before fight breaks out.

Late game, Draven tappers off. Catching axes becomes a questionable dps gain, his short range becomes dangerous, and his lack of a real escape becomes problematic.

Fortunately, if you play him well and your team isn't awful, the game should be already over once late game rolls around; or you should at least have a strong lead on their adc.

Note: His early and mid game dominance will require that you, you know, be good with him. Catching (and more importantly controlling) axes is a massive part of playing him to his full potential, and you'll have to spend a decent amount of time mastering him before you'll be bale to truly unlock his crushing potential.
Get all the lane farm and some kills and Draven will have 6 slots filled by the 40th minute and lay waste to anything that gets in line of sight.

He does more damage than any ADC.
Considering his crits scale 335%
And his normal attacks 185%

What?

Look up mimidood and see his ranked stats with Draven.

Or my ranked stats.

Draven's ridiculously strong and fun.

If the Dravens damage wasn't that much in the videos you were watching they must of been playing him wrong. Catch your axe's and keep using W since the axe's refresh it you'll do insane damage with insane speed.
