Who Wins

Pre-6, Draven + Swain win the 2v2 — Draven's level 1 auto-attack damage with spinning axes combined with Swain's E root makes your hook attempts extremely punishable before you have any mobility.
Post-6, you gain kill pressure with your R, but Swain's R sustain and Draven's damage still make straight 2v2 fights risky unless you land a clean Q hook first.

Your best pattern is to use your Q from max range to hook Draven mid-catch (when he's repositioning for his axes), then immediately dash through with E to keep him in place for Jinx to follow up — never hook into Swain's E range or you'll be rooted and burst before Jinx can contribute.

You want a slow push into a freeze near your tower to deny Draven his axes on the wave — Draven loses significant gold and power when he can't stack his passive, and a frozen wave also limits Swain's ability to safely walk up and root you.
Avoid shoving the wave into their tower where Swain can freely poke you under it.

Do not use your E aggressively without your Q landing first — dashing into Draven and Swain without a hook connecting means you have no escape and will die to their combined burst and root.
Your W invisibility is a repositioning tool, not an engage, and burning it offensively leaves you with no escape.
