Baron Nashor Suggestion

Baron is a game changing objective. It's buff is significant and is crucial for sieging. So I have to wonder, why is it still possible to 2-man Baron? It should require a strong team effort and great strategic planning whereby you can take it as a team rather than taking it when you've just barely survived a team fight and just happen to be a Vayne and Warwick.

Therefore, I suggest three things: Baron receive a "buff" where he takes 100% reduced damage from all sources (including true damage) and every champion within a 2500 unit radius will reduce this buff by 20% down to a maximum of -100%. This way teams who strategize poorly for taking baron are punished for it and teams who aren't coordinated enough to stop baron will also be punished.

That is, if a team is trying to stop baron but they go in alone, all they will do is increase the speed at which Baron will fall. Therefore, positioning for Objective control will become more crucial as teams are often out of place/position for defending or taking Baron.

The teams who strategize poorly will be punished by the buff because they need a full and relatively healthy team for it. If there are only 3 of them, Baron will take 40% reduced damage from all sources. In contrast, those who strategize properly will take baron down faster and are rewarded for this.

The second suggestion is that Baron receive another similar buff where he deals 100% increased damage and reduced healing to everything within a 2500 unit radius; this damage and healing reduction is reduced by 20% for every champion within 2500 unit radius down to 0% increased damage and reduced healing.

The final suggestion is to remove the Baron Gaze debuff as it has a similar effect as the first one.

In my opinion, Baron is a very crucial, significant game changing objective and should be treated as such. There shouldn't be anyone on any team capable of soloing/two-manning Baron at any point in the game. It should be a significant team effort.

I realize my idea is not going to be a popular one since they did nerf Baron in the past for being OP, but I will still stand by what I believe. Please post constructive feedback about what you think.

I agree Baron is too easy to get. My full build Heimer takes him down in less than ten seconds solo.
