| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Draven | Ezreal's early auto damage is negligible while your Axe autos crush him. |
| Level 2 | Draven | At 2 you punish him hard whenever Arcane Shift is unavailable. |
| Level 3 | Draven | W lets you close and out-trade his poke on his E cooldown. |
| Levels 4-5 | Draven | Sustained Axe damage beats his slow Q-poke ramp through mid. |
| Level 6 | Draven | Whirling Death all-in threatens him at 6 since R is no escape. |
| First item | Draven | A first crit item shreds his squishy frame before he scales. |
| Two+ items | Ezreal | At 2+ items Ezreal's Q burst and E resets finally out-scale you. |
Level 1-2 is dominant for you: Ezreal's auto damage is pitiful early and your Axe autos win any trade he steps into. Dodge his Mystic Shot poke behind minions and pressure him whenever his E is down.
