Are dragons still useless?

hey everyone jung main here with about 600 jung games played playing LOL since season 5, around 8 months

many games before 6.9 changes to drag, i would focus 2 things: nocking turets and snowballing adc and mid many times enemy team has had 3/4/5 drags and we win the game while we have 0 drags ^feelsgoodman.jpg^

i know im not the only oneitem 3070

6.9 elemental drags change show the bonuses stack up, which bonuses you get, what class of champ will do better from drags, etc etc

Now lets take a straight forward look at this. previously, drags stacked up based on # of drags up to 5 ( http://i.imgur.com/lBsl2Wc.png ) Now drags stack based on which randomly spawned drag youve killed, and after 35 min every spawned drag will be elder that boosts your already acquired bonuses ( http://i.imgur.com/d98uDJD.png )

So you can now stack only one useless bonus at a time rather than getting a little bit of every thing? nice. #winddrake

to cut this short, you can get all the drakes you want but what games come down too are decision making, out playing, and team work. does drag help you with this? no. its possible to throw w/3 fire drakes when you dont know how to close out the game and protect your turrets. no matter how many drags you get, a feeder is always gona feed.

Opinions? Comments? Disagree? tell me to stfu bellowsummoner 21

Dragons are impactful.

Yes a feeder will still feed, but they will do more while feeding with the drags.

Imagine this

2 players are evenly matched and have been going at it all game, both with the highest KDA on their teams, and are trying to outplay eachother.

Now lets say one player got 2 fire dragons and an ocean drake this game, not because of them, but because they have Nunu or Udyr or anyone who focuses on objectives a lot.

Now if they get elder drag, that player will get a 32% increase on all AP and AD. Pretty much a free item 3089 passive for both AP and AD Also if that person has a item 3089 already, thats a massive %62 increase in AP And thats with only 2 fire drags

So yes, it can be the difference between games.

Mostly when you get 3 air's in a row, seriously the RNG for dragons is annoying at best.
