How to beat Draven as Senna: the early game

You win levels 1-2: your soul range and Q sustain let you poke Draven and interrupt his axe catches, and if he over-commits to hold both axes you W-root him for a free trade before he generates lead. Never contest a minion he is standing beside, but do interrupt the catch: a Piercing Darkness landed while he reaches for an axe costs him the stack as well as the health. Keep the root for the moment he over-commits to holding both, and collect souls from the minions your support finishes.
