My opinion on the Infernal Drake matter

I'm usually the guy to be against everything the boards agrees with. Which is the same this time.

Honestly the dragons for me create an extreme level of diversity in games. And I 100% honestly don't think they should be equally strong. Why? I posted this once, but here it is again: If, let's say, a cloud dragon spawn on the map, your teams reaction will most likely be "Oh, let's rather go for top turret" or "Let's just keep farming, it's not that important". But if an Infernal Dragon or even to some extent an Ocean Dragon spawn your teams reaction will most likely be "Hurry, group around drake" or "We need this drake". ...Which I think is VERY good for the game. Instead of having to group around every single dragon (or none at all), it is now depending on which dragon is at hand. This can also completely change your strategies and so on.

I've read a few posters say "If a team gets 3 infernal dragons the game is basically over". If your team haven't been able to contest infernal any of the 3 times, chances are, game is over anyway. The 3 infernal dragons will at least take the first 18 minutes to get or so. At this point in the game, the game's winner is usually decided anyway in the current meta. And if your team has completely ignored the infernals, don't you perhaps think you deserve to lose the game in question?

I had to get my thoughts across although I am expecting downvotes.

TL;DR I think Infernal Drake makes the game more diverse and I think that it SHOULD be stronger than the rest.
