Twitch vs Draven

Confidence highUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

Twitch wins by punishing Draven's axe catch zones and overextensions using stealth and poison stacks.
Draven dominates short trades with axe autos, so avoid direct early fights and focus on scaling safely.
Hold wave near your tower to limit Draven's axe positioning and create safer stealth (Q) angles.

Trading pattern

Punish Draven when he walks up for low-health caster minions if his support cannot immediately trade back.
Use (W) slow to stack poison before cashing out with (E) when Draven stays too long after axe autos.
Avoid stepping forward when (E) is available, as it can interrupt your escape or engage.

Danger windows

Draven with active axes and support control of brush creates lethal short-trade windows; avoid stepping up for CS then.
When (E) is off cooldown, he can interrupt your (Q) engage or disengage; respect this timing.
Losing brush control or stepping into Draven's axe catch path without support cover exposes you to burst trades.

Early game

Use the first three waves to farm under tower and avoid stepping up when Draven's axes are active.
Wait for Draven's support to be out of brush before attempting last-hit punishments during his axe catch.
Avoid fighting at level 2; focus on stacking poison with (W) and autos before committing to trades.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) lets Twitch open fights from stealth, piercing through grouped enemies; use it to punish Draven near minion waves.
Two-item power spike grants Twitch stealth carry potential; use vision denial to flank and avoid Draven's axe zones.
Respect Draven's level 1 axe trades as they heavily punish early CS attempts; avoid trading before your poison stacks matter.

Win conditions

Survive early lane pressure by avoiding axe catch zones and scale into stealth ambushes with (Q) and (R).
Convert poison stacks into kills by timing (E) after (W) slows, punishing Draven when overextended.
Use stealth and vision denial to flank in teamfights, maximizing (R) piercing damage on grouped targets for DPS advantage.
