A different kind of Baron buff
With the Baron buffs coming next patch, I thought I'd bring up something I've always felt was lacking with Baron.
When Baron first got his big update back with the Summoner's Rift overhaul, one of the things I was most excited for was his variety of new attacks. While they're still cool, unfortunately they don't have as much of an impact as I'd like. Attacks like his acid spit, acid pool, and knockup tentacle look cool and all, but there's no real incentive to dodge them as intended. They do so much less damage than Baron's basic attacks, and the CC doesn't really matter unless there's another team around, so dodging them quickly became pointless.
We don't have the specifics on the buffs next patch, but I hope they add some more oomph to Baron's abilities. More damage is a given, but i think they could use even more. Like stat debuffs to foil your attempt to quickly kill Baron before the enemy team notices. Something that will make just sitting in front of him and autoattacking more risky. After all, everyone knows to dodge champion skillshots, why not Baron skillshots?
