So I was watching EU Masters today and one of the matches is Euronics Vs KlikTech; Klick got ahead and on spawn started the Baron
They had 1(?) mountain, no tanks, and only 4 of the 5 members were there, and baron was dead in 11 seconds.
What a Joke of a "major" ojective, its harder to take some dragons than it is to do baron
I haven't seen the clip, but
If you have no tanks, and 4 people doing actual damage, it would make sense that it would die quickly while also dealing some damage to the squishies (depending on the support)
So the game had a Taliyah, Kha'zix, Rakan, and Xayah.
They could take it at spawn, which is when it is weakest, without any contest considering the 11 seconds it took to take. There was no one there to contest due to either lack of knowledge or lack of ability to because of disadvantage.
Kha'zix is one of the best neutral objective takers due to isolation.
Taliyah isn't exactly fast, but isn't slow either. 11 seconds gives her enough time to get off 2, maybe 3 full power Qs.
Rakan acts as the tank here by mitigating damage on the DPS and contributes himself because of the Xayah interaction.
Xayah has a lot of bonus damage in her kit and is an ADC.
So I don't really see a problem here. Baron is not the be-all end-all kill-all that Vilemaw is nor should he be. If he was, then that'd make him a win-more mechanic as either you end up getting aced by him if you are slightly under-equipped or you're strong enough that you steamroll him and the game anyway. Besides Vilemaw is only that difficult because you have no one to spare due to the nature of TT.
He was always easy with a team, what made Baron dangerous was the opposing team who would come to stop you and probably take it for themselves. So when you remove the threat the only thing it'll demand of you is a smite and an okay amount of items.
just because baron had just spawned doesn't mean it's any harder to take, if they had no tanks then I'll assume they were all doing relatively high damage to it. If everyone is dpsing it then 11 seconds is a reasonable time, especially uncontested. How long do YOU think an uncontested baron should take, because it looks to me that you're just trying to find things to complain about.
if I'm not mistaken, his power scales with the game, therefore its at its weakest the second it spawns, then with mountain drake granting 10% bonus true damage to each person on the team attacking it, it makes sense 4 could do it I know they are garunteed to have 1 dps and a support healing or shielding them.
I didn't watch the game, but having 4 out of the 5 people missing from the map, while also not warding the baron pit at all, is a mistake. The team got punished by not warding that area.
It needs to be buffed as far as resistances go.

Baron dies faster than you can kill krugs.
