I'm starting to miss the original Dragon

I know this isn't really 'in depth' feedback on the game right now as more of throwback but I'm starting to miss the original dragon, how it wasn't random. The elemental dragons at first felt 'unique' but as the season went on, it started to feel more of "rolling the dice and hope it's 3 fire drakes in a row". There are games where one team gets 2 dragons, which were wind drakes and another game where a team gets 4 dragons, due to the fact that the dragons were two fire and two ocean, the popular dragons (in my opinion)

I wish they incorporated all the elemental buffs into the original dragon like in the original buffs, so it cycles through the buffs, rather than random chance, as the game already has lots of RNG, too much actually (like the plants which I do like, the kleptomancy rune, the scuttle crab (still quite iffy in that change) and champions like Kindred Marks and Zyra seeds).

But this might be me, they might be some people who prefer the elemental dragons. Do you guys miss it as well? The boards is just one 1/3 of the community so I wanna see your opinions

The original dragon was certainly easier to balance than the elemental dragons, however it was literally never taken by good players. The risk of taking it combined with the chance of a steal/enemies killing you made it completely not worth the effort 99% of the time.

I agree with Riot that knowing what buffs spawn when and for who can force a dragon centric play style HOWEVER. I have this random crap. I still miss old dragons only because new ones are so odd. You might have a great fighter comp this game and the only thing that spawns are winds, guess what? The enemy has 2-3 split pushers and they aren't feeding like crazy. GGwp. They are making use of a stat that even if we get, we cant make nearly as much use of it. And its not something you can really plan for in champ select either...

TL;DR: Old dragons weren't perfect by any means, but putting the result of a game on random spawns is really bad. (I think plants are ok, but not this).
