He said on his stream when he was smurfing in plat/gold "why do people in this elo care about drakes so much, youre wasting your time and losing your lanes for nothing"

Because he is a win trader

How would we know? Ask him on his chat.

What he means is players shouldn't force teamfights over drags and potentially throw the game over them, instead they should trade objectives and rotate to herald or simply give up the drag.

In gold/plat a lot of players surprisingly will run into the mosh pit over a cloud or 25 minute ocean drag, giving up 4-5 kills or burning their flashes for a 50/50 steal.

They also shouldn't focus strictly on doing drags, like they should take drags when they're free with the team after ganks, rather than force trying to solo it and miss gank opportunities.

The only one I could say is an exception to the rule is infernal, that's pretty much gg if they stack 2 or more.

that was kinda suprising for me because when i played jungle drake was like the most important thing, i played jungle in s4 with feral flare mostly, people were doin drake level 2 with ww and nunu, udyr, everyone was trying to get drakes soon as possible

Yeah, nowadays champs built for early drake cheese are either not worth picking in the end game (olaf, warwick for example, are really bad atm), and players are smarter about warding the drag too (if you lock in a ww or shyvana drag becomes a massive target on the map that everybody wards and waits for you to try and solo.)

Drags are still very important, just in low elo players make a habit of doing them at the worst times resulting in throwing games, whereas he won't rush to steal drag and instead go make a play at the opposite side or something. Thats or the enemy jungler will suicide for the drag which is a worse tradeoff since their death timer causes huge tempo loss.

Yeah I really do not get why teams in silver think it is compulsory to group to drake. They just give out like 4 deaths each time regardless of advantage and throw the game.

And they DARE complain about snowballing.

people were always grouping for drake. i didnt play lol for 3 years but in the past drake was one of the most important objectives. in early s5 stacking drakes was more important than baron
