For example, If I know that there will be 1-2 early cloud drakes, I won't pick relentless hunter, or if I know that we can secure an ocean early on, maybe I don't need to take biscuits.
Dragon should be a point of strategy when deciding on runes, summoner spells, and champions, for how impactful it is.
If I knew 3 mountain drakes were spawning, I'd know to pick inting Sion.
We're talking about this, no decision made yet though
When you know there will be 3 infernals.

I miss the old Dragon.
The 300 Gold Dragon.
I don't really like this a whole lot, and Riot's said some of the reasons it might not be the best idea before I believe.
Like if you see three Infernals will spawn in-game and you're trying to play someone who doesn't scale super hard into late, maybe people will try and force you off that pick.
I'd be cool with maybe the first drake being shown. I don't like all of them being shown, though.
Nope. This would have the complete opposite effect and heavily dictate what champs would be picked that game.
Oh, ocean drakes spawning? Time to pick lane dominant champs and camp botlane so we can keep a lead in sustain and make it hell to lane against. Infernals? Time to go heavy damage comp. Mountain? You know your boy gonna go grab the heaviest objective controllers in the game.
It'll also dictate how heavily you go for drags. Oh, enemy has a lead and the three dragons that spawn after this cloud drake are all infernals? Ignore drag because no way you'll risk losing 3 to an ahead team.
That'd defeat the purpose.
They're objectives to react to, not objectives to plan for. Baron is the objective you plan for.
agreed, but it would be hard to find where to put it in the client
