Seriously if your behind at all the game is over since the team that is ahead will get the super op drag buffs that you cant even catch up and get later since they will be gone. Its like call of duty killstreaks and i hate that bs
Nanuk Pihoqahiak2 votesI feel like the water dragon's healing is insane and that the buffs provided by having even one dragon are too good at the moment.
TyroneWatermelon2 votesI miss the old times where Dragon wasn't a neccecary objective and just brang up gold,now Riot literally forces you to fight for it every few minutes or the enemy team will have gigantic advantage on you
InfinitexMortal1 votesExactly! I used to play back in season 3 and loved the way the game was... this new patch might have just put the nail in the coffin for this game for me personally.
ViashinoWizard1 votesDragon WAS necessary when it gave gold, though. The massive advantage it gave was just less tangible.
Erockandroll1 votesDragon WAS necessary when it gave gold, though. The massive advantage it gave was just less tangible.
The only difference being A) stats given from the current bonuses are immediate, without requiring your to recall just to spend the gold. (not sure how much that's worth exactly) and B) Dragons is still worth something late game. where before, the extra gold was wasted after everyone was full build. But now it could actually be traded for Baron. (But usually you would rather have Baron)
InfinitexMortal1 votesYeah but like you mentioned teams that are behind can play till late game and be on even ground again. With the dragons now, if you are behind and don't get drags they will disappear after i think they said 35 minutes and be replaced with the elder which mostly just buffs which ever dragon buffs you acquired beforehand. So now if you are behind and the enemy team gets more dragons than you then late game when everyone has full builds they still have the huge percent bonuses from the dragons as advantage and the elder dragon will benefit them way more than the team that is behind on drags. So the balance is kinda flopped making the game all about who is ahead and gets more dragons before they disappear.
TyroneWatermelon1 votesDragon then granted gold advantage,being able to purchase more items,and still not affect the game any other than progress,now it's basicly changing and gives special buffs that give the teams mega advantage,instead of gold,more capabilities which should be saved to certain items and champions. Now everyone can get %ap and ad bonus,out of combat movement speed bonus,hp&mana regen and more. They are pushing it too much,instead to rely on hold to enchance these effects they just add BS randomly and you should "take advantage" of it
Steel Blossom1 votesEh, I prefer having to fight a losing fight every 5 minutes over not being able to engage the enemy team for 25 minutes until their stat check hypercarries are done farming. Those metas are the true cancer.
Bud Light1 votesThe earth and air dragon are pretty bad compared to water and fire
