Why it works
- The hook opens the fight. Thresh's Q pulls the enemy toward him and, if activated again, Thresh dashes to the enemy (range 1075).
- The lantern gives mobility. Thresh's W shields nearby allies and lets them glide to him: the exit Draven doesn't have.
- Draven pushes. His E throws enemies aside and slows them (range 1050); his Q and W give damage and speed.
- Two finishing ultimates. Draven's R throws two giant axes that cross the whole lane, and Thresh's creates a prison of walls that slow.
Weak points: Long poke and supports with anti-engage; it depends on coordination between both players. To verify
