@Meddler/Riot: Since the dragon buff is getting buffed against towers...

Electro522··2 votes·445 views

Are there any plans to actually buff towers in response? Many people here already state that towers are quite weak, and now that dragon is probably just as threatening against towers as Baron is, a 5 dragon Baron buffed team will go from being very difficult to hold off against to damn near impossible.

So, what are you guys' plans for towers, if there are any?

I hope there's a plan for towers, this dragon buff has no real context since towers are fairly weak imo.

Opinion/rant incoming: It's painfully obvious that dragon 4 is for boosting the appeal for dragon in Professional play. But even then there have been dragon 5 games, so idk why they're doing this. I just think swapping buff #1 and the original #2 buff would've forced people to at least try to secure 2 dragons.

I'd think the tower trading power the increased tower damage would be crazy exploited in the Pro scene if it was the first dragon buff. Not to mention that getting first dragon was made to allow a team who's behind to stop the bleeding. (and it would be tougher to do that if it was the second buff.)

Increasing the 2nd and 4th buff over all increases the value of any of the dragons, and does make it more important to contest.

The burn damage is almost strictly a buff. as it gives a fair amount of damage to anyone who doesn't build a ton of AD or AS. The damage to minions and monsters was kinda out of place. But the new 4th buff goes along with their idea of giving players the tools to close out games.
