(ADC) Probably Dravens biggest Counter, but very vulnerable if you have an engage support, otherwise the lane will be hell
Akali
(Mid) You can poke her early very easily and should be ahead till first back, if she has resolve 2nd and DShield it will be way harder with almost no kill pressure, just play for Lane and try to not get killed, she can 1 shot you very easily after 6, would recommend Barrier or Exhaust.
Ahri
(Mid) even matchup as she can just charm or ult away from you, just care about her jungler otherwise its just easier for you to play the lane as she isnt really allowed to go resolve or Dshield so you have a lot of early kill pressure, would recommend TP/Ignite or Cleanse depending on elo and jungle matchup.
Anivia
(Mid) You can cancel her Ult and have way more early pressure but you dont really have solo kill pressure as she can just wall you out of her range or stun you if you try to walk up, you can cancer her ult though and with a good jungler shes very easy to dive, would recommend TP/Ignite.
Annie
(Mid) Very Easy matchup as she cant match your damage early, just care about her 1 shot potential after 6, shes really useless if you manage to dodge her ult, would recommend ignite/Barrier or cleanse if enemy jungler is CC heavy.
Aphelios
(ADC) Very easy matchup because he cant match your damage output early and needs to scale meanwhile he cant outrange you, should be very easy to deal with.
Ashe
(ADC) Ashe is quite annoying because of her ult and Slow but she doesnt really have any kill pressure and she is very vulnerable as she doesnt have an escape, would recommend cleanse.
Aurelion Sol
(Mid) Aurelion Sol is pretty much just budget anivia for draven, you have a lot of kill pressure and can just run him down if you manage to hit your E, would recommend Ignite/Cleanse or Exhaust.
Azir
Azir is very annoying but you hard win pre 6, after that just care about insecs that push you under his turret, would recommend Barrier/Ignite.
Camille
(Top) Camille is very hard for draven because of all the mobility and movement speed she has, her passive denies a lot of damage from you early on aswell so play around her CD's otherwise she will just destroy you after 6 and outscale you, just try to hard poke early and if she doesnt play with flash just hard engage on her, would recommend Ignite.
Cassiopeia
(Mid) Cassio is very annoying after 6 or with a good jungler, otherwise the laning phase is quite easy for you to deal with because of max range HoB AA she cant really react to, you have quite a lot of kill pressure early, would recommend ignite/Exhaust.
Cho'Gath
(Top) Very easy lane, very easy to dodge his Q and if he doesnt hit that hes just useless, very easy to dive with jungler aswell, would recommend TP/Ignite.
Corki
(Mid) He cant do anything to you, champ is really useless anyways right now, he just sucks and doesnt do anything, very easy lane to deal with, would recommend ignite.

(Top) try to freeze on darius, if he has ghost and the wave is on his side its very easy for him to run you down, play for short poke trades and try to never get into his E range, would recommend Ignite/exhaust.
Dr. Mundo
(Top) Mundo is very easy as he has 0 ways to get on top of you, you can just shut him down very easily early on and even later on with kraken you just destroy him, would recommend Ignite.
Ekko
(Mid) Very easy just dodge his W and he cant do anything to you in pretty much any stage of the game, when hes 1 AA away from dying you can just E him and AA while hes knocked away to deny his ult, works sometimes, would recommend Ignite.
Ezreal
(ADC) Ezreal cant match your damage at all and is very easy to dive, even 1v2, just very easy all around with a good support.
Fiora
(Top) Fiora is probably on of the hardest matchups because of her W, try to wait out to use your E or use it as an engage, you have to dodge her E even if it doesnt Stun, the slow on AS just makes you lose every fight, would recommend Exhaust/Ignite.
Fizz
(Mid) Fizz is very hard to deal with because he can dodge a lot of your damage with his E and can max range ult you so you're an easy 1 shot after 6, but you can poke him early very easily and have a lot of dive and kill pressure especially with your jungler.
Galio
(Mid) Very easy matchup by himself, just care about his jungler, would recommend TP/Ignite/Cleanse or Barrier.

- can be played as a solo Laner
- able to 1v2/2v3 quite easily early on
Cons
- Snowball dependant
- very hard to master

- extremely boring and unfun if you get behind
Passive - League of Draven
INNATE: When Draven catches a Spinning Axe Spinning Axe, kills a non-champion, or destroys a Turret, he gains a stack of Adoration.
In addition, killing a Minion or destroying a Ward or Trap grants a Strike Strike stack for 10 seconds, stacking up to 6 times. If he drops an axe or a nearby Minion dies without Draven killing it he loses all Strike stacks. At 6 stacks, he consumes all of his Strike stacks and gains 2 Adoration stacks.
When Draven kills an enemy Champion, he consumes all of his Adoration stacks and gains 25 + (2 × stacks) bonus gold.
Draven loses 75% of his Adoration stacks upon death.
Q - Spinning Axe
ACTIVE: Draven starts spinning his axe, causing his next basic attack within 5.8 seconds to deal 35/40/45/50/55 (+65/75/85/95/105% bonus AD) bonus physical damage.
The axe ricochets off the target high up into the air, landing 2 seconds later at a location determined by Draven's current movement. If Draven catches an axe, Spinning Axe is reapplied for no additional cost on his next basic attack.
Draven can hold up to two Spinning Axes in his hands at once.
W - Blood Rush
ACTIVE: Draven geins 20/25/30/35/40% Bonus attack speed for 3 Seconds and 50/55/60/65/70% Movementspeed while being ghosted for 1.5 Seconds that decays over the duration.
Catching a Spinning Axe resets the cooldown.
E - Stand Aside
ACTIVE: Draven throws his axes in a line in the target direction, dealing 75/110/145/180/215 (+50% bonus AD) physical damage to all enemies hit, knocking them aside and slowing them for 20/25/30/35/40% for 2 seconds.
R - Whirling Death
ACTIVE: Draven hurls two massive axes in the target direction, revealing the area along their path and dealing 175/275/375 (+110/130/150% bonus AD) physical damage to all enemies struck within, this spell can be recast after 1 second and does so automatically after it hit an enemy champion or reaches the edge of the map, the reacst reverses the direction of axes and causing them to come back to draven, dealing the same damage.
Whirling Death deals 100% - 40% (based on enemies hit) damage, resetting when the axes revert their direction.
