Who Wins

  • Draven-Nautilus wins pre-6 due to Nautilus's hook threat forcing you into defensive positioning, while Draven's Q axes give him superior sustained damage in extended trades.
  • Post-6 you gain significant kill pressure with R execute damage, but Nautilus R makes all-ins very dangerous for your team.

Synergy & Trading

  • Look for Q bindings when Draven is catching axes in predictable positions, then follow with E-auto-W shield for Varus.
  • Your best trades come from max range E poke when enemies are focused on CSing, avoiding Nautilus hook range entirely.

Wave Control/Roaming

  • Push waves hard with E to create roam timings and prevent Draven from freely stacking axes on minions.
  • Maintain vision control around river bushes since getting hooked while pushing is instant death.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Never walk up to auto-attack poke against Nautilus hook range - your long cooldowns mean getting caught equals death.
  • Don't waste Q on minions when enemies are in aggressive positions, as it's your only escape tool.
