Infernal drake should be removed

In the link you can see how my team and I completely and utterly crushed the opposing team. However they got a few lucky dragons (two infernals) and a suicidal lucky baron steal and even though we were better than them we lost. After they got two infernals we simply couldn't team fight them anymore and the baron just sealed the deal. Bottom line, infernal drake is too strong and should have it's buff halved or removed all together

If you let them get baron and two infernal drake objectives, you probably deserved to lose.

Let's see... 12 objectives to your 10 vs a likely scaling team. Clearly vs. a skilled team vs. your team that... bans Zed and Teemo.

OP's team didn't take a single dragon, to the other team's 4. Then they let them take baron, too. Sounds like some major vision problems, and likely just poor attention to timers in general. Looks like the jungler was elsewhere on the map every time dragon came up.

At their max gold advantage, they had 7 towers down to 0. But it looks like they overstayed to get an early-ish mid inhib, rather than just backing after the inhib turret and regrouping. They probably could have even backed off after that and taken dragon instead. But they also had poor awareness of the respawn timers for the other team, so they got almost wiped, which then opened up dragon #3 for the other team.

And then, well... you see the graph there...

Pretty much 2 infernals = winner of the game. Theres a chart somewhere that shows how infernal snowballs the team so ahrd they have like a 75% chance to win

This game isn't just about winning teamfights and getting kills. Objective control is another way of winning matches. Splitpush, dragon and baron control, powerfarming, proper warding/ward removal.

Yeah, there's a reason they take into account factors such as those in addition to kda when determining whether or not you deserve an S. Play objectives. Win games. It's that simple.

How do you get a "lucky dragon"? People always have wards on it before it comes up, especially when the next drake is infernal. At around 30 seconds to spawn, most teams are already trying to set up around it.

wait, so you think you deserved to win after allowing the enemy team to get 2 infernal drakes and baron when behind by nearly 12k gold?

lol

Even though he got bashed for this post. In soloq its not about allowing the enemy to get a drake many times. Imagine being this far ahead and indeed losing two infernals. In theory you are still stronger and should get every other drake/baron etc. And win easily. I would evn ignore drakes when this far ahead and focus on turrets and inhibs to finish quickly. However with 2 infernals in the opposing team the game is over no matter what the gold lead. These drakes are an exception to the rule. Should these drakes be at a strength level where a single one of them has higher priority than even baron and can decide the game? And where 2+ of them is a safe win? I think he is right they should either get removed or reworked to not give free stats.
