Who Wins

Pre-6, Draven + Blitzcrank wins the 2v2 — Blitzcrank's hook into Draven's burst kills you faster than you can set up a kill, and your squishy base stats make you extremely vulnerable to being the hook target.
Post-6, your R resets give you and Ashe a decisive edge in extended fights, but only if you initiate on your terms rather than reacting to Blitzcrank's engage.

Your best trading pattern is to use E to stun Draven mid-axe-catch, forcing him to either take the stun or fumble his axes — then Ashe follows with W slows while you Q to pull him further out of position.
Avoid using W to engage; save it as an escape tool from Blitzcrank's hook, as getting hooked means instant death in this matchup.

You should roam, but only after a successful kill or when the wave is pushed to their tower — roaming with the wave in a neutral or losing state leaves Ashe alone against Blitzcrank's hook, which is a free kill for them.
Optimal roam timing is post-6 after an R kill resets, as the gold advantage and tempo swing justify leaving lane briefly.

Do not use W aggressively to engage — in this matchup, W is your primary escape from Blitzcrank's hook, and burning it offensively leaves you with no answer when Blitzcrank chains his own engage onto you.
Playing as the hook-initiator against Blitzcrank is a losing pattern; let Ashe's R or Blitzcrank's missed Q create your windows instead.
