Baron feels like it takes so long to die I don't feel comfortable calling for it

Even teams that should melt baron take way too long to kill it; feels like situations that shouldn't be contestable (kill two including jungler, call baron) can get you wiped closer to the end of the take unless your team has perfect reactions and all mindreads each other and goes for baron, which isn't happening in solo queue.

I understand wanting the objective to be contestable, but ir's -too- contestable right now for it to be good to take it in solo queue in a variety of situations where you want to take it.

Should've just removed or changed mountain drake instead if baron speed was an issue, imo, since that caused most of the egregious baron speed issues.

EDIT: And god help you if you try to baron with a Jhin comp now @_@

He dies way to easy, a 4 item Udyr and one marksmen can burn him down in just a few seconds....

They tried to make it less doable at 20 min and feeling more epic... kind of a fail on both counts in a decent team, but some teams do feel the difficulty/risk increase pretty heavily. Earlier today in fact I said: I am going to draw them bot you 4 man baron. 3 came bot, I killed jungle but died... good time to baron right? Nah I forgot I was the only reliable damage that game, team couldn't kill.

First off, good. Baron should take a while to kill considering how powerful it is. Secondly. I haven't even had a game that attempted Baron since the patch so I don't actually know.

Yeah, but right now the opportunity cost compared to just taking towers feels kinda high imo

Well if left with the two you should prioritize towers. If you kill a few members of their team and it's thirty minutes in. Then baron should happen.
