Thoughts on picking Drake buff

I'm still not convinced with the rng of drake buffs. With buffs effecting different champions at varying degrees, it's a little frustrating when you want ocean drake (I play sona support) and the team doesn't make a move because to them...it's wack. Also getting 3 cloud drakes in a row is pretty unfortunate.

Being able to choose the buff after slaying the Drake would be a pretty cool addition to the game. It would be another way of customizing our heroes. Even depending on the flow of the game...we could pick different buffs then we usually do. Sona with 3 ocean drakes would be sick. Hec with 3 cloud drake would be insane. And someone who wants to be a pusher can choose to have 3 mountains drakes.

I'm just not a fan of rng and I don't see the need of it in competitive games.

I personally love the Cloud drake and don't see why it gets so much hate. When I'm playing a gank heavy jungler or my team is rotating objectives its absolutely wonderful.

Cloud Drakes are really good for giving your team the ability to take objectives and roam. Playing Ahri just makes her that much more frustrating to deal with when she has 2 of them.

I like the RNG aspects of Dragon. It can not only make me really want to fight for one, but it can also allow me to let the enemy take one while I do something more important for my team elsewhere.

Only one that may need a change, imo, is the Infernal Drake, since it's the only drake you'll always want in every situation.
