Quote from joandeTo Grant concerning TreyKapfer-Our culture refuses to recognize emotionally/verbally abusive and controlling women for what they are. As a result this minority colors many mens and womens views of relationships. Some women are *******s, maybe you have been spared this experience?
This post is so great. It's like one of those advice memes, I assume it's "Neckbearded MRA Hero".
"How come we don't accept women can be cruel too?"
Uses gendered insult about cruel women.

Incidentally:
I've seen this sentiment a lot and I'm fairly sure it's the opposite of the real situation - it turns out that bringing a free, high tuned Locket (and you can still buy another locket!) is really good against AOE comps. It's not like it was hard to catch multiple people in an AOE before - you don't need a Sona on the enemy team for that to happen, that happens pretty much always, at every elo, anyway - but Sona blunts the effects a lot.

Be careful, here. We do not know exactly what his contractual obligations are, because the NBA keeps its own bylaws secret. You're asserting things that you have no way of knowing, and everyone here knows it. I suspect they don't have anything strong enough to actually force a sale, but it's certainly possible, and in any case the value of his property is about to nosedive if he does fight a sale, because very few players are going to sign new contracts with his team as long as he owns it, and the players who ARE under contract may have a decent case fighting to get out of their contracts. Going along with a sale is probably financially in his best interests. But that'll be between him, the NBA and any new owners, of course.
As for rehabilitating him, I don't see why we should care whether Donald Sterling is rehabilitated. It's been 40 years since ignorance was a plausible excuse. He should know better, and if he doesn't, he's willfully ignorant. If he comes around, great, but he probably won't, there's probably absolutely nothing anyone can do at this point to make him understand, and I don't think anyone needs to lose any sleep over it. Just marginalize him and move on.

Ah. I play almost exclusively hardcore now, so items that will help while leveling new characters (even the home stretch) are valuable to me whereas the end-game optimization of level capped characters is a relatively unimportant concern... went right over my head.

You want 2 axes up as much as possible. You need to be able to control where axes land and catch them with virtually 100% accuracy to play Draven effectively.
Don't sweat the passive. It'll work itself out. That said, when I get in a fight in lane and get a kill and have to b, I check how much gold I got out of it - that tells me roughly where I'm at compared to my lane opponent.
I take W or E second depending on the matchup, and virtually always take the other one third (then point Q again at 4 and 5). E wins all in engagements. W wins harass wars.
The trick for harassing when you're out of range is to land an axe on a minion and step so that it lands towards your opponents, pop W, run up to catch the axe and chuck an axe at them. If they try to stay and trade, throw E at them and triple Q them (if you have two axes spinning, after the first one is in the air press Q, you get three consecutive enhanced auto attacks) before either finishing them or backing off. His damage comes in such an incredible burst using that technique that as often as not you'll panic your opponent, at which point you just force the all in and win. Even if they don't panic, they can't just stay and trade unless they already had a big lead on you. This technique is mana intensive - you must already have two axes going, you're going to cast W at least once and possibly twice, you're going to cast Q again in the fight, you might cast E in the fight, and you're not very likely to catch even 2 of the 3 axes while maintaining the engagement, so you use this when you're sure you can get to grips with them. If they're mostly outside your range, you're just going to pop W, run up, throw one axe and back off, and even that will run you OOM with repeated uses.
Your worst nightmare in lane is an enemy bot lane with a bunch of slows. Lulu can really hammer you just by forcing you to drop a few axes, which runs you through your mana pool really fast.
DO NOT PLAY DRAVEN PASSIVELY. You are playing a champ who literally cannot function without attacking stuff a lot. If you let yourself become zoned, you are screwed.
EDIT: Oh, and many ADCs - even some diamond players I've played against - underestimate his ability to close. I've been in a lot of lanes where I was being edged out, not really winning, where I'd come back to lane and just run down the enemy ADC for a quick kill. No ADC in the game can duel Draven on relatively equal gold except MAYBE Vayne, so if you can force a 1v1 with the enemy ADC, even if they have a slight item lead on you, that's an easy kill.

They really ought to take the grievous wounds clause off ignite - it kills sustain tanks and mages while making their desired paradigm for healer-style supports (clutch heals and saves rather than consistent sustain) almost impossible, since in mid-late game the person who needs a clutch save is often ignited.
Yes, they'd have to retune a whole lot of champs since the sustain guys tend to be overpowered if nobody has grievous wounds to bring against them, but sooner or later they should take that whole project on.

Well, Draven is a great ADC right now, has virtually no bad lanes while being a true hypercarry - but its going to take you 15 or 20 games just to get reasonably comfortable on his mechanics before you can even start learning the strategy and tactics of playing him (lots of start/stop aggro stuff). He's a "Play me all the time or not at all" type champ.

Also +1 for don't ask her father's permission. It's traditional, but it's a truly offensive tradition. She might be ok with it, but she might not. And what if he says no? You go ahead anyway, because you're both adults and he has absolutely no say in it whatsoever, you were just putting on a show for him. Only now it's awkward and you've got a hostile relationship with your father-in-law-to-be.

You should feel bad!
...just kidding
It's definitely a long grind.
