Elder buff alone says "imagine outplaying when u can just execute lul" which just doesn't scream healthy for the game.
But then we get to the soul aspect. Yall ever play against a mundo with ocean soul? Talk about haha you cant win. Like the game is so heavily dominated by dragon and I just don't see how any of that is good for the game
Elder dragon > Baron
Don't worry, I'd bet that next season there will be a complete overhaul of all of the dragons again.
To make sure that they are more powerful and impact the game even more. Because you know, Riot always has to put on a show to make the game more interesting or something.
I think the Mundo issue is separate. Ever played against a Mundo with a Soraka or Yuumi? Just as brutal...
But I agree about elder being unhealthy. Any even match or even one slightly in your favour gets completely shit on as soon as they get elder. Hell, you can take every objective, get soul, but miss elder then lose. It's the most valuable objective in the game for reasons that I dislike.
you gave a soul to another team. you shouldn't get to win after giving up that many drakes. yeah stay mad. yeah stay bad.
Man what are you guys doing that Elder is such a big deal? I'm 30 games into ranked this season and I haven't even seen Elder a single time. Dragon Soul gets claimed in my games maybe 1/4 of the time, and rarely is it a situation where both teams are at 3 dragons each and they're fighting to get the last one. The majority of the time, one team is in the lead and is getting set up to close out the game by the time they claim the dragon soul. That's what these super objectives like Dragon Soul, Baron, and Elder are supposed to be, tools to close out a game so that the enemy can't turtle for 40 minutes by spamming ranged AOE spells.
Elder is kind of bonkers. Kind of like the game show where one contestant has swept the first two rounds, but it's still anybody's game because the next question is worth more than the whole previous 20 minutes.
Actually, it's exactly like that.

i think ever since riot introduced elemental dragons the game has taken a turn for the worse....
as the power is semi hidden stats... _ its power can be gotten early and can lead to powerful whole game snowballs one way when a team wins a fight and gets a dragon/tower...ect _
_since stalling tactics also removed since old times so no option but force contest of all dragon. lose the dragon lose the game. lose a bot lane then lose a dragon then lose a game. _
also stomped if ignore dragon.. and lets other team. dragon power last the whole game even if not snowballed still a huge up hill battle for losing team...
easy snowballs make game massive favor early game champs.
even in non snowball early game champs dont ever fall off due to dragon powers they more likely to get early...
dragon power makes jungle and bot more importance for controlling said power. which lead riot to direct exp nerfs to those roles...rather then lower dragon/objective powers... _ mobility ever more important to get to dragon contesting._ _ mobility already allowed to have as much or more damage then most non mobile champs. so both snowball/dragon power ramps them up double. triple if they an early game champ as well. _
and yet to consider the other things like tower plate gold,rift,FB,dragon soul,baron or elder....
back in the old league days dragon only gave team gold so not as big deal as it was not worth risk for losing team fight in order to contest and risk feeding winning team even more.
also old league had/allowed stall tactics/team comps. that could make comebacks despite lost dragons.
elemental dragons big factor that lead the game to the current state it is in now.
remove the elemental dragon remove the new runes
**or watch the game continue to doom and ruin **
