What should the new elder dragon buff be?

I know there are lots of people saying they don’t like the elder dragon buff but I think it’s a good one that fits the game. Baron is the pushing power buff for sieging while Elder will be the team fight winning buff. Right now no one gets elder because if you are winning you’ll get baron to finish the last objectives and if you are losing then the elder dragon isn’t as useful since the winning team most likely has all the dragon buffs. My question is if you don’t like the elder dragon buff, then what should the buff be that is powerful enough to compete with baron buff, unique kind of buff for the game(for example can’t be a super powerful red buff), while also being fair.

Hmmm I like what riot is planning but if I had to make the buff. It stops towers from working and gives you all the dragon stats but weaker like more ad and ap, hp regenerate stuff like that.

I don't know what game you're playing but Elder is contested atm because it's true damage/drake buffs.

Execution is NOT healthy, and it's heavily skewed toward the team whose already winning ending the game if any mistake at ALL is made.

Furthermore, it heavily favors champions who on their initial skill/hit do 80% HP damage, like Malphite or Jhin, or Khazix. Or, champs who are safe like Ahri, whose late game Q can do 80%. These people are going to dominate champs with DOT or small incremental hits, and what's important; they will do so even if the opponent is playing correctly!
