How to Beat Caitlyn as Draven (ADC)

Difficult matchup requiring deep understanding of game mechanics and flawless execution. Patience and proper macro play are the keys to victory in this confrontation.

Except for rare builds, Draven deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Caitlyn deals mainly physical damage (93.51%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.

An important advantage of Draven is higher farming statistics (ranked 10th among role champions) (versus 11th for Caitlyn), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.1 versus 2.0) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.

Key aspects of the Draven ADC versus Caitlyn ADC matchup

In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Draven player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Caitlyn player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach. Extended trades without clear tactical advantage often lead to unfavorable consequences, and ignoring opportunities to receive team support can be a fatal mistake for game progression.

Draven tips:

  • If Draven doesn't move, Spinning Axe will fall near his present location. It will fall directly on him, or just to the right or left.
  • If Draven does move after attacking, Spinning Axe will lead him in the direction of his movement. Use this to control where the Spinning Axe will go.

Playing Against Caitlyn

  • Keep behind allied minions if Caitlyn is harassing you with Piltover Peacemaker (it deals less damage with each subsequent target).
  • You can intercept Ace in the Hole's missile from hitting an ally if you stand in its path.
