Why Braum is favored

Braum's Winter's Bite (Q) can slow Draven as he moves to catch an axe, disrupting the position his next attack depends on. Unbreakable (E) also blunts Draven's projectile damage, so he has to wait for the shield window before forcing a trade.

Measured in High Elo: Braum wins 2.5pp more often than expected over 1,619 games.

How to play as Braum

Aim Q at Draven's axe landing point when he commits to a catch. Save E for his follow-up damage, and face him before he sends R through your carry.

Draven's Spinning Axe (Q) sends him toward a predictable catch point; Braum's Q slow can make him miss the axe or leave him with less room to reposition.

Braum's E can intercept Draven's projectile attacks and abilities while facing him; Draven players specifically describe his Q, E and R as vulnerable to the shield.

How to play as Draven

Poke and make Braum use E before you commit to an all-in. When his Q is available, avoid making an automatic axe catch if the slow will leave you exposed.
