Is it only me or is baron too easy to take before 25 minutes now?

With mountain drakes, snowballing out of control and an abundance of damage, I have noticed that this season is the first season where it's been pretty common in my games for Baron to be taken before 25 minutes relatively effortlessly. If you're lucky enough to get 2 mountain drakes then you can 3 man it with top and mid or in some cases just top.

I personally find it unhealthy and think Baron needs to become that epic monster which was high risk and high reward, instead of being low risk and high reward. In this state it barely requires very much teamwork or planning and usually can be secured between 20-30 minutes with just 1 enemy dead or if the jungler shows bottom. Not to mention the amount of snowballing potential it brings to an already winning team.

if your team is in a position to take baron, you're probably really ahead which makes it seem easy

baron has always been easy to take when it spawns just that no one tries to take it when it spawns. because allies wount leave their lanes to get it and they are under the assumption that the entire enemy team needs to be dead for them to even try though you can see all of them in each of their lanes trying to farm just outside of tower range.
