Reduce Snowballing. RIOT You've betrayed all the good intentions season 4 had with Tier 1 dragon.

Assuming 2 teams are even and 1 has a dragon that team will win every single mothereffing trade. Yea you reduced it to 6% but even so. The difference that first dragon makes is absolutely absurd. A team should have to do more then score 1 dragon to win the game. It puts the opposing team so ridiculously far behind it's unfair!

I do everything in my power to try and make comebacks but that doesn't really matter if there is nothing I can do to close that insane damage gap. This is especially true for opposing players running the offensive mastery tree. You can get up to 6% extra damage just from the mastery tree. That and especially in the late game combined with dragon stacks makes it extremely hard to tank damage or target priority enemy champions.

I think I've said enough this game is way too snowbally in its current state and losing one dragon shouldn't be so crippling. This mostly applies to the ADC role 6-18 more AD easily becomes 18-45 more AD with an infinity edge. Numbers are examples only from 100-300 AD with auto attacks alone.] It's toxic especially when you have high atk speed steroid users like jinx and tristana in the metagame. Let's not forget Draven, Vayne ATK damage steroids etc.]

Simply put Riot It's way too easy when you get ahead and way too difficult when you fall behind. This dragon meta-game is toxic. FIX IT.

Do you have any idea what you're talking about?

6% AD/AP is NOT enough to snowball a game.

If it was then whoever got BF sword first would be guaranteed to win the match EVERY TIME.

Learn to do some actual math before you post something like this again. Your tin foil hat is showing.

A lot of people mistake the stat increase from the level 1 dragon buff with the map control required to get an early start on dragon buffs. It's the map control that snowballs the game.

Exactly. Dragon buffs are nice but they aren't going to snowball a team. Not even close. But if one team has map control and, from, that, dragon control then that will certainly snowball a team.

Moral of the story: Strategy > Dragon Buffs.

To be fair it's not who gets BF first ... it's who gets 5 BFs first.

If you can afford it great. Dragon doesn't equate to that much of a stat though, not even close.

Why reduce snowballing? If they really want to reduce snowball, just remove all Early/mid game champions from this game, 5 ADC vs 5 ADC all day, perhaps throw in a Nasus/Veigar once in a while. Expect to be punished for the stupid shits you did 5 mins earlier--thats what life will be like.

I'd take a tower over first dragon any day. 6% AP/AD is practical worthless that early in the game.
