Duskbringer isn't only an offensive ability. It can be used to close distance out of combat or escape from certain death.

This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing alongside Draven.

Working together, you should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to dish out massive AD. When paired, these champs should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.
Conversely, by grouping Nocturne and Draven together, you may not be giving your other teammates very much AP. We recommend you bring other champions on your team that offsets this relative hole in their kit.
Regardless of your Draven ally's ability, you should focus on maximizing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
