Should Dragon Spawn Top and Bot?

Would it balance the map to subtract the Herald and give Dragon rng spawn location (top or bot) for first 25 minutes?

God no more RNG please. I'm all for changes to top lane but what drake spawns being RNG is already a pain in the ass.

The only thing I can think of to best improve Top is change the lane meta. I mainly favor somehow getting 2 jungle/supports/roamers in each game. I have thought of options like removing Smite, carry junglers having to farm, and changing most marksmens' role in the game.

That sounds like a decent idea on paper, but where would all of the top lane champs go? Mainly slower champs with subpar gank potential.

It would all matter on comp and pick order. If your top laner is on a carry then the one roamer/support/jungler might need compliment him unless mid brings something else to the table. Same goes for bot. Of course this is all assuming damage gets lowered. High damage makes no need for anything other than yourself. Great reply and thanks.

I had to use my first ever login to reply lol, but i had an idea What if they put damage amp dragons bot side (mountain and fire) and put utility dragons top side (air and water). Would get a bit weird when baron has to spawn, but it would help with RNG probs

I support the dragon spawning in different places, but for the love of god don't make it rng. Remember how much people like rng scuttles? There's already so much rng with scuttles and types of dragons and crit chance and whether or not skillshots actually match the visuals and the hitbox.

It wouldn't really do anything to change the game much other than top and bot rotating more. Might turn out to just do nothing, but make dragon more annoying because of rng

Yes, more Junglers around Toplane, that always feels great for both sides!

(since I have to mark such posts, since people can't tell, I don't mean that serious, fuck Junglers.)

I might be glossing over something but I'm pretty sure the whole reason why ADCs/supports go bot is because they're closer to dragon pit.

If it was reversed or alternated with each spawn, top/bot would just end up rotating accordingly.

If your top is winning and has a good combo with his jungler, and dragon is top, why would he rotate?

because if the other team rotates and drake is top then it pretty much turns into 3v5 lets say blue team doesnt rotate and red rotates then we have drake fight Blue Top is ahead Blue is in 2v3 ahead toplaner and jungler vs adc support and jungler so midlaner joins in to even out and enemy follows now we have 3v4 and then enemy toplaner who had rotated uses tp turning this into 3v5 while your adc and support slowly walk towards dragon pit

That definitely could happen. But that is a substantial sacrifice for an early dragon. The other team does not have to contest, and can rotate support top to further gain and protect his lead (bc they now have numbers topside). While bot can free farm a few waves and go from there.
