[GAMEPLAY] Dragon Death Timer
So I have no idea if it's just me, my client or what,(or if its been brought up yet) but even if my team doesn't have vision on dragon, (or if I am bot lane as support and don't have vision of their bot lane (or any other laner) ) You can hear, that's right HEAR, precisely when dragon dies and get an accurate death timer. While it will not show in the Scoreboard menu (since no vision was on the area) I can get the precise seconds for when it died. I have replicated this by having placed a ward where scuttle is and then the enemy team sweeps the area destroying my ward. Still keeping my camera focus on the area it's as if my game is just going through the audio cue list, because when the enemy kills the dragon, I hear it die. Now unless I am playing DJ Sona, I normally have the music turned off and all other sounds on. Regardless, you can still hear this over her music.
As another example of the same thing happening, Imagine a thresh on blue side bot lane under his turret. He decided he needs to back and buy a sightstone, but you the enemy support annie sees him start his recalling from the bush closest to his tower. As you do not have minions you turn back and fog of war takes him out of your sights. But wait! You still hear the channeled spell and it's completion! Now as your Graves returns to lane with you, you both hide in your tower bush and lie in wait as the unsuspecting jinx walks by, all alone, her support still seconds away coming down from the platform... She never saw Tibbers coming....
I bring this forward because, while I do feel it can give the team who didn't have vision a second chance at the next dragon with an accurate timer, I feel that it is unfair to the team who made the play for dragon. Who earned that passive reward by slaying the dragon by having worked and organized as a team to get that objective with ward coverage and communication. I can imagine if higher ELO players also noticed this, it would easily play into a means of making a play for an advantage. Whereas in SoloQ Silver/Gold ELO you might not have that same focus. But I apologize for being a party pooper if others wanted this to remain quiet. I didn't like feeling like I was cheating due to a bug.
