Draven out-damages you from level 1. His Spinning Axe adds huge bonus damage to autos, so a straight auto-trade loses for you even with your Lightslinger double-shot, and his W Blood Rush makes him faster than your dash when he's catching. Respect his all-in, last-hit safely behind minions, and only step up when he has to break cadence to retrieve a fallen axe.
