Elder was a terrible idea

Title basically, its an auto win objective, hell imo all the drag changes were shit, its an RNG objective that has a chance to completely fuck you over if you dont get them. Ever since they changes drag from gold was stupid overall, RNG is a flat out terrible stat or thing to have luck based, already enough crazy stuff that goes on in this game or horrible balancing, mean hell, Ornn is allowed to be played in his state of being next to impossible to kill yet deals tons of % damage while also giving op items to himself and team??? hello

Honestly balance so far is yet again bad, could rant on many things though what is the point, Riot has made it clear for 6 plus seasons they only balance around money nothing else.

All in all RNG drags are shit, get rid of them, elder needs to be removed or changed to ONLY dealing more damage to the targets below the threshold, not "oh you're at this % no chance for you die" its stupid

Elder is actually a pretty balanced objective.

Since it only spawns after a team has gotten the dragon soul, they most likely already have a big advantage over opponents. Elder drake simply helps them finish out a game when the enemy team has a Xerath and Sivir who can infinitely clear waves.

the RNG of drakes is barely imporant for a balanced team. Since each team has the same opportunites there isnt really any issue with this. It prevents teams from picking purely to abuse a specific drake. The largest impact is rengar getting hit by the removal of some bushes but even then he has his ultimate which is how he gets into most fights late game anyway since most fights happen around a lane or in the river, where the bushes still are there.

Moving abruptly to Ornn, he is a tank. Meaning he has to deal damage to be considered a threat beyond his ult. Ornn has high DoT meaning teams cant simply ignore him, which is exactly how a tank should be. Most other mid/top/adc outdamage him so there is really no issue. The majority of the time there will be 1 or 2 masterwork items on the enemy team beside Ornn, which is 2k gold advantage. Considering Ornn's weak early game and roams then its only fair that he gives an advantage late game.

I find it odd you'd make this statement

Ever since they changes drag from gold was stupid overall

Then complain about the stats. When what you're doing with gold is exchanging it for stats. Would it feel more fair to top lane if because their bot lane is winning, the enemy top laner should get a free kill? Or because the enemy jungler solo'd a drake everyone else gets a kill worth of gold? You complain about the stats but im pretty sure if your laner came to lane with an extra long sword after a drake you'd be just as triggered by it if not more.
