In 10 games I've seen 9 Dragon Souls and 0 Elders

Because Dragon Soul buffs are so powerful that the game ends within 6 minutes of it being taken. In all 9 games a dragon soul was taken, that team won. 3 of these were games were dragons were even until the 4th.

Ocean soul? Oh, hey, the enemy team is just too difficult to kill. Mountain soul? Same thing. Infernal soul? Oh we get poked out by even crappy poke. Cloud soul? We no longer have any choice about fights. Someone presses R and the fight is on because they have 40% increased movement speed.

I think that - due to these being permanent buffs - that maybe they should be weaker. Like, maybe a lot weaker. Like about half of their current values.

The last game I played, which was on my smurf, my team actually surrendered when the enemy team got their 4th dragon (Mountain / 3x infernal).

Not sure I want to see elder spawn, since it seems to be bugged, but it might be nice to entertain the possibility of not just losing outright if the enemy team gets dragon soul.

you forget that previous dragon kills tend to stack up WITH the souls...

Ocean: constant %missing HP regen -> stacking the regen even harder. mountain: increased resistances. -> making the shield more effective. Infernal: increased AD/AP -> making the AOE more effective. Cloud: up to 40% ULT CDR -> certain ult can be used every 10 seconds.....

getting a dragon souls is GG, it also effectively guarantees elder, because your team has massive buffs. they dont. (there is only 1 soul per game, so only 1 team can have one.)

and here is elder immolation elder: LOLOLOLOLOLOL a support can 1v1 a tank now. AKA: deal a **-load of true damage DOT and execute the poor suckers if they happen to be below 20% (its also hella bugged!!!)

if they get the first 2 dragons, it might as well be GG.

Excerpt form the league wiki:

The unit's resistances (armor or magic resistance) will still mitigate the damage before being absorbed by shielding. The shield strength can be increased with some items and runes.

so getting 8 to 32% increased armor and MR DO help.
