Is there anyone else that thinks Drake's HP needs to be buffed in light of the changes?

Morning guys,

For the most part, I love all the new changes. The one glaring issue so far is that I really think the drake's HP/Armor needs to be buffed. I don't think that there's a lot in the way of counterplay given how fast they can be taken. And now they literally are as quintessential as Baron for winning close games and I know I can't be the only one whose frustrated in their games that by the time you look at the map its already gone.

Let me know your thoughts,

Dragon and Baron now apply grievous wounds to enemies that attack them or are attacked by them Dragon now takes less damage if there are less than 3 enemies fighting him in a pit(-25% against 2 enemies, -75% against 1 enemy) Baron now takes less damage if there are less than 5 enemies fighting him in a pit(-25% against 4 enemies, -50% against 3 enemies, -75% against 2 enemies, -100% against 1 enemy)

If you just give up dragons, enemies will take them fast and thats ok, the only thing that needs nerfs is the cheese 1-2 people taking dragon/nashor quite fast with other players doing their stuff on the map

This is sort of my point/argument for just buffing the health of dragon. You just said it yourself. I just played a game where it took my team nine seconds to get it. Nine seconds. Where is the counterplay in this?

If 5 people arrived at dragon pit and the whole enemy team just let them do it, then its their fault. They had enough time to either get there themselves and contest it or do something else instead(towers, herald).

then its their fault.

That seems like a very obtuse approach to commenting on a genuine concern/issue.

Dragons are simply more important than they've ever been in the history of the game, and absolutely nothing has been changed about their stats. It doesn't make a lot of sense under this argument.
