the Glorious Executioner
Patch 26.20 · Stats from the 26.18 Master+ sample (3,469 games).
Draven, the Glorious Executioner, earns Adoration for every Spinning Axe he catches and cashes it in as gold on a champion kill. Lethal Tempo was the keystone on nearly all counted Master+ Dravens, and Hubris opened both his most-bought and his best-winning path.

Close the gap early — it wins at range and at three items — neither before ten minutes
Punish the cooldown — Draven is exposed while its rotation is down
Ward the flank — vision is what turns its best opening into a worse one
Respect the spike — Riot rates the kit 8/10, so a practised player gets more out of it than the average
Trade on your terms — take the fight where its damage lands on nobody
PLeague of Draven
Draven gains his fans' Adoration when he catches a Spinning Axe or kills a minion, monster, or tower. Killing enemy champions grants Draven bonus gold based on how much Adoration he has.
Passive — never cast
QSpinning Axe
Draven's next attack will deal bonus physical damage. This axe will ricochet off the target high up into the air. If Draven catches it, he automatically readies another Spinning Axe. Draven can have two Spinning Axes at once.
Cost 45 ManaCooldown 12/11/10/9/8sRange 300
WBlood Rush
Draven gains increased Move Speed and Attack Speed. The Move Speed bonus decreases rapidly over its duration. Catching a Spinning Axe will refresh the cooldown of Blood Rush.
Cost 40/35/30/25/20 ManaCooldown 12sRange 1000
EStand Aside
Draven throws his axes, dealing physical damage to targets hit and knocking them aside. Targets hit are slowed.
Cost 70 ManaCooldown 16/15/14/13/12sRange 1050
RWhirling Death
Draven hurls two massive axes to deal physical damage to each unit struck. Whirling Death slowly reverses direction and returns to Draven after striking an enemy champion. Draven may also activate this ability while the axes are in flight to cause it to return early. Deals less damage for each unit hit and resets when the axes reverse direction. Executes enemies who have less health than Draven's number of Adoration stacks.
Cost 100 ManaCooldown 100/90/80sRange 20000
Riot's notes from patch 25.S1.1 to 26.20 change Draven in 6 patches. The latest is patch 26.19, published 2026-09-22.
Base Stats
Since all bot laners received significantly increased gold income thanks to role quests, Draven's potential to gain a gold advantage through his Adoration stacks has lost some of its impact. We're giving him a helping hand (axe?) by tapping up his early game damage.
EStand Aside
RWhirling Death
As the marksman meta has evolved around crit, on-hit, and caster builds, Draven has fallen behind. We're buffing his heavy-AD pattern instead of trying to redirect his itemization.
Base Stats
Draven's Q was initially bugged to deal less damage at the start of the season, which was micropatched within the first week. Players are also trying Essence Reaver over Bloodthirster, which currently performs worse. After accounting for all of these factors, Draven's still not doing as well as he was last year, so we're coming to prop him back up by reverting one of our preemptive pre-season nerfs.
Base Stats
WBlood Rush
Draven is very auto-attack focused and averages about two crit items per game, so he's also in need of some compensation. Considering he's gaining direct auto-attack DPS, we're trying to compensate him directly on the same axis.
WBlood Rush
RWhirling Death
Draven has a bit of room for buffs in regular play and is completely missing from pro. We're giving him a little power this patch to see if he can make it back into the spotlight.
PLeague of Draven
Draven has been making the Noxus season his, and it's been a bit painful for those unfortunate enough to go up against him. We think his damage is in a good place, but his snowballing in higher skill brackets is getting out of hand, so we're looking to remove one of the more niche mechanics within his passive.
Riot's data lists 15 looks for Draven with their own art, the base skin included and 63 chroma variants.

Riot Data Dragon 16.20.1. Growth curve: League of Legends Wiki — Champion statistic.
Draven, the Glorious Executioner, is a Marksman champion in League of Legends. Riot rates the kit 8/10 for difficulty, 9/10 for attack, 3/10 for defense and 1/10 for magic. Draven spends Mana and has 15 skins with their own art. Draven's base health of 675 is the 6th-highest of 173 champions on patch 26.20.
In Noxus, warriors known as Reckoners face one another in arenas where blood is spilled and strength tested—but none has ever been as celebrated as Draven. A former soldier, he found that the crowds uniquely appreciated his flair for the dramatic, and his unparalleled skill with his spinning axes. Addicted to the spectacle of his own brash perfection, Draven has sworn to defeat whomever he must to ensure that his name is chanted throughout the empire forever more.
