right now dragon is near worthless

KirbyCake·Feb 7, 2015·1 votes·712 views

if you solo it at level 3, it delays your level 4 so much, the enemy jungler will get a huge lead that is greater than drag.

right now stealing dragon to die is not worth unless you have a huge lead or its stopping them from getting 5th dragon. if the game is equal, the enemy can push 1-2 turrets, worth way more than drag. or even worse, they take baron and then melt all your turrets.

i think the 2nd and 4th bonus needs to also offer combat stats, because right now dragon is just a bait objective.

Solo it at level 2 scrublord

Plus thats some selfish thinking bro, If you solo it at level 2-4 your team gets that buff YOUR ENTIRE TEAM gets that combat boost which can help them if they are behind or help them get ahead

Saying its worthless because it sets one person (you the jerk of a jungler who cant think of his team) behind is kind of stupid take my downvote good sir

if the enemy jungler ganks to get fb while you've taken dragon, 2 people on your team are now behind while 2 people on their team are ahead.

the bonus is not worth it, i've tested it and fb>first dragon.

also, 4 dragons in particular is not worth very much, a team with a 4 turret advantage vs a team with 4 dragons will destroy the enemy team, everything else held equal. that used to not be the case.

what do you know though, you're in bronze 3 where junglers jack around and never gank or even farm.

Dragon is amazing. Past several games I've played with my ranked team we've dominated by controlling dragon every game. All you have to do is wait for the right opportunity to take it, no need to rush it at level 3.

I think you all are using dragon buffs wrong. I'm also thinking you all fight in the jungle after getting baron buff

Even when the gold is given to all ally players?

Not gold anymore.

It's a buff.

I actually kind of like suicide steals being a little less potent. Unless it's to secure that first dragon buff, why should there be this big inherent advantage to playing a jungler with a blink and a nuke to go for suicide steals? Why give Lee Sin another advantage in the jungle?

if you solo it at level 3

Bro just because soloing dragon at level 3 isn't worth doesn't mean that getting dragon isn't worth. You slaughter the botlane, take dragon and then let your ADC go get their BF sword or Cutlass. It's more important than that tier 1 tower. It leaves the lane by river so your ADC can still safely farm and you know they're ahead so you don't have to worry about them flat out losing lane and not being able to get the tower later.

is just a bait objective.

Only a bait objective if you don't know when to take it and who to take it with.

Dragon is nowhere near useless by any regards. The global gold change to the buff made dragon that much more important. Plus if they warded dragon they will most likely come to contest when they see your team trying to take it or getting ready for it. Only if the dragon is almost already dead before they got a ward will they go for a turret. You underestimate the dragon because it sets you back a level, while it gives your whole team a huge boost, especially that 5th dragon.
