Why does Cloud Drake do the most dmg out of all drakes?
Even though its the weakest?
Always makes me sad when a Cloud Drake spawns because I know its shit and its risky to do it early because of its high dps. You can't really sneak it.

what do you mean cloud dragon fucking amazing
Even though its the weakest
It's probably the second strongest in terms of buff. The real question is why WATER dragon has such an immense slow, making taking it risky because you're permaslowed if you get attacked during it, despite being the ACTUAL weakest?
Cloud Drake is amazing it's probably the second best dragon atm.
I mean, personally, as a support and top laner guy, I like my beefy champions (i.e. Sion, Darius, Blitz, Alistar) to be able to roam faster to the lanes I'm needed in, so if I see one spawn, I will BEG my jungler to help me take it. I'll tank the hell out of it for him. I don't care. The more Cloud Drakes, the merrier, too. I love being able to outrun a Hecarim as Blitzcrank. That shit makes my day.
Furthermore, Riot wanted to differentiate each Drake. Cloud has the highest single target damage, but overall, it has a lower output than Fire Drake.
Cloud dragon is great. The game is all about objections and rotations, free movement speed makes it so much faster.
isn't it because it is the squishiest out of all drakes?
It's only the weakest if you play ARAM. You can sneak any dragon with a champion that has health or sustain.
I wouldn't say it's the weakest at all.
My personal opinion is: Infernal -> Cloud -> Water -> Mountain Infernal gives flat out better stats and is also the only Drake that has some abuse cases (see Rengar, Veigar, and Jhin). Cloud gives amazing out of combat mobility that makes for great map control and good time efficiency. It also helps in extended chases as the person chasing or escaping. Water gives OK sustain that is really only useful on those who really NEED it. Mainly the likes of Anivia want this. Mountain is really underwhelming for anyone except split pushers, push teams, and cheese epic monster killers. ADCs kill towers stupidly quickly anyways so it makes it very much a win-more objective.
that's why you tell the enemy jungler in all-chat "i hope u don't sneak this dragon, cloud drakes are op right now"
then you wait until he's almost dead, kill him and take it for yourself
classic prank
You must not rotate well.
He only does 50 DPS just like Infernal and Ocean Drake.
In fact, Mountain Drake does the least damage out of all dragons at 37.5 DPS.
Shouldn't the goal of an objective as big as dragon be risky to take? And preferably something that isn't easy to sneak? In my opinion thats how dragon should be. It makes them far more rewarding to take.
Also in all honesty cloud dragon is incredibly rewarding, it lets you rotate around the map far more easily which helps on so many fronts.
Cloud dragon is super good on snowbally champions and those who are ahead. There's just no escaping them.
Personally I love getting a couple cloud drakes when I'm supporting as Janna or Sona because late game it means you are pretty much a support speed boat.
Cloud drakes aren't bad, unless you're bad at rotations and think grouping mid every game is how to win.
How does its dps relate to how fast you can kill it all sneaky like? Mountain drake should be the hardest to sneak, it's the tankiest and therefor takes the longest to kill
maybe make cloud drake 50% effective in combat so you gain 12.5 movespeed per drake in combat up to a 37.5 bonus in combat.
It sounds OP but 3 Earths would still be the most OP since 30% more damage on baron and turrets is really strong. split pushing with even 1 earth feels dirty. 3 fire is 24% AD AP. if you have 400Ap from items you gain another 100AP from dragons, thats like a 2000g value right there.
Water could use a slight buff. Maybe make it also increases your mana pool by 10/20/30% energy pool by 10/20/30%
It's one of the best dragons in the game what the fuck are you talking about????
It dies the fastest though too doesn't it? Also not the weakest, it's very strong in a lot of situations
Weakest?! Aqua and Mountain have absolutely nothing on Cloud!
Kinda bothered by that as well. Probably because of lack of early game sustain (or enough sustain) to survive the dps of the drake.
I'm probably wrong though.
All the drakes are easy to kill. Not risky at all tbh.
I wouldn't say it's thw eakest, since the buff it's pretty dang strong, thouhg i agree that it's high damage makes FAR more risky than other dragons. though earth goes in a similar direction, he's not going to kill you on his own like cloud, but he just takes so much time that soloing him costs to much xp/gold and also has a much higher risk of gettign spotted. I hat nothing more than an early earth dragon, you need much more setup to do that fucker than for any other dragon.
wtf u mean wind drake isnt highest dps, and u cant rlly judge drakes now by weak or stronger, just whats better for ur playstyle/team comp
Its the drake that you want the enemy team to start so that you get advantage of the damage :P
If bot lane got a double kill early then its not risky at all to take the cloud drake if he spawns.
You mean Clown Dragon? Never heard of a cloud one.
