Ok, first of all, you're literally being cc'd by this thing while you kill it. When you start a fight with ocean drake you're taking a HUGE risk compared to other dragons. And with the other dragons in this game you have the benefits 24/7. There's NEVER a point in the game where I'm not getting the benefits of infernal, cloud, or mountain drake. If I'm in combat I get NOTHING from ocean drake.

The appeal of the Ocean dragon is in both the early game and late game. An early Ocean dragon helps you outlast your opponent in lane via mana and health regeneration allowing you to get ahead or at least survive a lane that harasses you heavily while you have no other healing options.
Late game it allows your team to better siege the enemy as you assault their base or fight for objectives as tactical spacing will allow you to regen your health/mana without leaving the area giving you an overarching advantage.
You'll learn more nuances of the game the longer you play, don't worry.

ChaosReyn3 votesCloud Drake = a bit of movespeed + tripled out of combat movement speed. (You lose 2/3 Cloud on dealing or taking damage)
Mountain Drake = damage to structures and monsters (a jungler's best friend, but only really helps laners if they reach the towers)
Infernal Drake = Damage stats (dps best friend.)
Ocean Drake = bonus regeneration when not hit by champions or towers in the last few seconds. (A support's or tank's best friend, and also, you don't lose this until you take damage.)
See...the thing with Ocean Drake is that it's essentially Warmog's, but trades some of the hp regen for mana regen. Would you say Warmog's is trash on tanks? It doesn't regen you right away, after all...but if you fight your fight and go ward out the enemy jungle, then by the time you're back in lane, you've regained most of the hp you lost. In the case of Ocean drake, you have your mana back too. Guess who never has to leave lane again?
ChaosReyn1 votesAlso...have you tried soloing cloud drake? AKA the motherfucking MINIGUN DRAGON?
Even some of the junglers who can solo dragons early will still wait an extra level or two for cloud drake, its solo damage DESTROYS you.
Kazekiba1 votes7% current health damage on hit is a BITCH. Im glad Riot said it does that in a recent Ask Riot as I actually never knew after 4 years
