Understanding this common matchup forms the foundation of consistent gameplay for one of bot lane's current powerhouses. Meta strength confirmed: Lucian's superior tier rating (A vs C) translates into a solid 52.3% matchup win rate. This performance explains why Lucian ranks 18th in win rate among ADC champions.

How to Beat Draven as Lucian (ADC)

The Lucian versus Draven matchup as ADC is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.

Except for rare builds, Lucian deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Draven deals mainly physical damage (95.11%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.

An important advantage of Lucian is higher farming statistics (ranked 15th among role champions) (versus 27th for Draven), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.0 versus 2.4) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Lucian ADC versus Draven ADC matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Lucian player to maintain constant pressure on Draven, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.

Lucian tips:

  • For optimal burst, try to combine Relentless Pursuit into Piercing Light.
  • Ardent Blaze actually explodes in a star pattern. Try to line it up so the spokes hit enemy champions.
  • Once you have chosen an angle for The Culling, you cannot change it. Pick your moment well!
  • Because of Lightslinger, Lucian benefits more from Attack Damage than he does from Attack Speed.

Playing Against Draven

  • Launch skillshots toward the landing position of Draven's Spinning Axes.
  • Disrupt Draven with the goal of making him drop his axes. If you do, his power drops dramatically.
