Hello: Who Killed the Baron/Dragon?

I'm not positive if there is a reason I cannot think about, but I would like to ask for a certain change in game play. Since the Baron and Dragon both yell and vanish from minimap when defeated, we can tell when the enemy has slain Baron even in fog of war.

Also, we know we killed the Baron/Dragon when OUR TEAM gets the kill because there's a kill pop-up on the right side of the screen, showing who got the killing blow.

But for some reason, when the enemy team steals the killing blow on Baron or Dragon, right before our eyes, we will receive no notification of who made the killing blow. Which also means we're left to deduce who got the killing blow on Baron or Dragon.

In a huge team fight around those objectives, it's very common to see many killing blow reports on the side, and it's also difficult to see which members of which team have the Baron Buff while the team fights continue.

I find myself forced to spend quite a while determining if the enemy team stole the killing blow on Baron or Dragon, in the middle of a team fight, information which could change the approach of the remainder of that team fight, and having to resort to double checking all the right hand icons in the killing blow pop--ups to see we DONT have Baron to know if the enemy got the Baron Buff, I ask that we should just have a killing blow report on Baron for whomever killed it please. Thanks.

This already is easy mode. There used to be no warnings or visual timers. Just head-math. Deductions. Further, both dragons and baron give visual indicators to the team that got it. Either some fiery flare up, or purple buff rings.

There's those 3 seconds where you get to sit there, hoping against all hope that your jungler managed to smite it.

But you know, deep down, that he didn't. They fucking stole Dragon. And they're cleaning your team up to top it off, and Tristana is getting all the kills.

We already have that. As was said already, for players who didn't bother to learn how tell who got it, indicators were added. There are four indicators for who got the objective if you didn't see (five indicators if you count the roar).
