I highly doubt he'll get nerfed anytime soon. He may be strong, but that strength still comes with a fairly high skillcap. Anyone who's saying he wasn't strong in S2 obviously never played him on release. He hit just as hard then as he does now.

If they were to nerf him, I feel like we'd see one of two changes that would bring down his power level, while still keeping him strong in the hands of good players.

1. Lowering the base damage on his passive while increasing the scaling. His passive is perhaps the most underrated part of his kit. Draven may not do subtle, but that level 1 damage of 34 is deceptively strong. Especially when it stacks.

2. Shifting the mana costs on his Q and W; i.e, making his Q cost more while making his W cost less. This change would allow players who can constantly keep their axes up to make better use of Blood Rush, while punishing people who can't maintain their axes.
