Not a fan of how easy it is to solo first Drake/pacing. Dmg reduction only removed by 2 attackers

First Drake takes 30%(if not 40-50) reduced damage when only 1 person attacking them, as soon as a second champion attacks it the damage reduction is removed for 10-15 seconds.

Can we please have some strategic freedom back? I'm sick of doing nothing but running to stop their goober Jungler from yoloing drake attempts over and over until it's finally dead, it's basically ARAM in the river for the first 10 min....

Can the top side of the map exist pre-10 again?

Alternatively the first herald could spawn at 5 min but be less powerful and scale to full strength over the next 5 minutes?

Regardless, this meta is a circus as is and needs a hard fix.

I write that weeks ago. Drake's should be deal more dmg again. I am Voli otp and before the elemental changes Voli was one of his a few junglers who could solo Drake after first back. Now everyone and their grandmother's can kill them.

I solo first dragon every game I play..most often waiting for it to spawn..

same with herald...

but every champ I play in jungle has the ability to do it safely..any machete jungler should be able to do it..

it is not hard if you know how to avoid/clear enemy vision..just sounds to me like you get a lot of people who have no idea what they are doing

Or, you know, they can buff dragons so they do damage more on the scale of baron so you can't solo them at all and need team mates to do so.

I mean individually drakes are much much weaker this season, if you arent in the position to get the drake yourself, or you need to be on top side or can't contest early on, just let them have a couple of drakes, they are very weak, you can just let it slide and pick up drakes later in hte game

All dragons should disable regeneration with a debuff called dragons majesty, after all regeneration is why 90% of junglers can solo dragon so if you remove that bam no more solo dragons.

Shoot, I think the first drake should rotate between top and bottom alcove. Talk about shifting dynamics around and making toplane more useful...
