Never lane with Soraka. Draven works better with virtually any other support, although my personal favorites are Taric and Janna. Always start with Boots + 3, trade with Q whenever you can, because anyone trying to force an exchange will more than likely come out behind because trades with Draaaaaaaven are battles of attrition.

Practice the axe-catching mechanic until you've got it down. It's mostly based on how you face/where you're going, but it's best to just try it for yourself until you've got the jist of it. It's not all that complicated, tbh.

Try to stay in lane until you have your B.F Sword, which should be easy, because Draven has tremendous kill potential with both high damage AND CC, as well as amazing last-hitting power with his Q. Go for an early Vamp Scepter if you can afford it (if you've already got your B.F Sword, that is).

Once you get your B.F Sword, go back to lane and snowball like a crazy asshole, because that's what you're going to be the rest of the game. Once the enemy comes up to last hit, W into a quick E, then keep chucking Q's, which you should always have as long as you keep chasing them, easy to do with repeated W's. Ulti if you really need it.

Build order (and for that matter, runes and masteries) is standard ADC: I.E first most of the time, but consider getting BT first if you're very far ahead because the lifesteal it gives is absolutely ludicrous with Draven's Q. Also, if you feel up to it, don't even bother upgrading your boots and just rush a Zeal instead. Upgrade into either Phantom or Trinity later, though 90% of the time, you'll probably just end up going with Phantom. It's really personal preference, though.

That's pretty much all I have to say. One more thing you'd really need to 'learn' about him is how to get the most out of his ulti, because using it as a global snipe isn't as easy as with similar ults due to the damage being split into two instances.

Hope this helps, and most importantly, enjoy playing the best ADC in the game.
