New Baron and Elder Dragon buff

Dunno exactly.

It kinda seems like the intent is to make the game end in one of those two pits in the middle of the map, and what comes after be largely a formality.

To control length, I guess that kinda makes sense.

But I don't really like how it randomly switches off a lot of the mechanics being used up to that point based on being able to assault that one position.

I don't like how in conjunction with vision being attacked all the time, the ultimate goal seems to be to force face checks after a certain point. I don't really find deathbrush to be fun to play or to watch. Sitting there in the brush late game is kinda like a parallel to spawn camping in an FPS. EZ-burst the guy who stepped in the wrong spot, have 4v5 on the field, go win stuff.

Currently, having your jungler suicide on a 50-50 is a bad idea usually. You're down a guy, 5 have a decent shot at pushing in 4 even if they get the buff, and if they don't get the buff it's even easier to force more. After this, if the ramped up objectives are that strong, suiciding on the chance that you flip it will probably be a requirement.

I half expect in competitive play, where they already like Unsealed Spellbook, that we'll see it even more. And multiple smites will be taken late game to ensure that 50-50's aren't 50-50 if you can afford to bring more smites.
