Cloud drake should give tenacity

The Cloud drake, even with the update patch 6.14 gives, is still overall weak. If the Cloud drake got 3.5 or maybe even 5% tenacity at each rank the Cloud drake wouldn't be underrated/ignored as often. This would give a clear advantage to the team that has the buff, just like the other Drakes. Not only that but if you got the cloud drake with tenacity it would increase your potential to be impaired less often plus the movement speed it gives out of combat and also that is one stack for Elder Drake which means more true damage

If Tenacity is too much to handle for the enemy team, then Cloud drake should either

A) Grant Percentage move speed B) Grant slow resistance

Everything aside though, adding more out of combat movespeed will still make the cloud drake the least popular, but more people would want it due to the more speed and shorter roam times.

EDIT: A lot of people are mentioning Irelia and her passive, and I can assure you, Riot put her on the list for a reason ;)

Jokes aside, IF the Cloud Drake grants tenacity with each stack, Irelia would have a change to her passive, or a full rework, but the future can only tell us.

Also, nobody mentioning the elixir of Iron? :P

I don't think you realize how powerful tenacity actually is. Particularly when you are suggesting a maximum of 15%

Tenacity will be to powerfull, it can completly destroy cc engages, so the numbers must be super low, too low to notice it. I would change it to only slowresistance! close to every champ has somekind of slow, and or buys rylas. So 5/ 10/ 15% , with elder 22,5% max, slowresistance should be way better and dont break anything but give a noticable bonus. On top "slowresistance" fits the air/cloud theme better :P

I would change a part of the OutOfCombat Ms to %ms. So 25 OoCMs changes to: 3%Ms (~10 Ms) and 15 OoCMs

Tenacity would be way too overpowered. Maybe slow resist but Tenacity is going overboard.

i agree tenacity is a MUCH better idea than movement speed. yeah with the new +25 movement each rank speed cloud drake will certainly be good.

but honestly FLAT out of combat movement speed is always something i found stupid. its only ever good for people who ENGAGE. the people who want to ESCAPE cant use it because they have usually been hit by an attack.

so it would make champs likeGaren Darius Blitzcrank Jax MasterYi Olaf stupidly OP even with just 1 drake

and most deadly of all Volibear Udyr Hecarim

NONE of which need ANY sort of buff and are already REALLY annoying to face.

it it was just FLAT movement speed it would be fine.. but the fact that its "out of combat" pisses me off. i REALLY don't want to see more of these champs in my games

i feel like i'm going to have to contest cloud every game now just so THEY dont get it... not because i want it myself.

it like ALWAYS having to contest elder drag when you have zero dragon buff because the enemy team has 4 dragon buffs

anything but movespeed. movespeed is an incredibly boring stat. Useful(duh) but boring

Thank god Riot doesn't listen to the boards when it comes to balancing the game

The Yetii Rider7/12/2016, 4:31:38 AM2 votes

Yes. Let's just mindlessly buff Irelia, again.

Nah. Cloud Drake is going to give 75 MS out of combat with 3 of them. That's insane. That's like a free mobis on everyone, in addition to your normal boots.

Cloud Drake should be fine this patch. Maybe a little boring, but powerful.

Or. Leave it as is, but add an additional effect.

Such as: when you enter combat or the cloud drake buff is disabled, you gain 10/20/30% slow resist for a few seconds while in combat. This can proc every 30 seconds.

More like slow resistance, similar to the boots of swiftness, I think it would fit the wind type better than raw tenacity

Honestly?

Cloud Drake is starting to become my favorite. It makes it so, so easy to surprise opponents. I love it when I'm playing mid because it helps me roam and get closer to high priority targets before they realize I'm there. I love it when I'm playing bot lane because it helps me kite. I love it when I'm playing support because it helps me get safer, deeper wards. I love it when I'm playing jungle because it means I can gank more often. Top lane is the only one it doesn't directly help, maybe shaving a second off of the walk-back time to lane.

It's not as high priority as Infernal but I'm starting to like it more than Mountain and Ocean.

Oh? And with Elder Dragon and 3 Cloud Drakes the enemy gave you because they didn't care? You get like 90 bonus speed out of combat.
