Dragon Damage and Defense Needs buffing

Alëk··4 votes·872 views

The changes to dragon has officially made it the #1 objective early game. 8% dmg increase is OP no matter which way you look at it. Not to mention that some champions can solo it at VERY low levels. The first buff needs to be nerfed down to 4% or something more manageable. Otherwise the advantage it gives, ESPECIALLY to fed or snowbally champions is massive. Imagine a fed akali/fizz with free damage because someone like pantheon, nunu, or warwick solo'd dragon at lvl 3.

So including a buff to early game dmg and defense in dragon, I believe that to champions that already have the buff, dragon deals increased dmg, and takes reduced dmg. It would stack with each buff they have. This would prevent solo'ing the dragon for free stats and whatnot.

Another idea that presented itself was that if you kill someone who has the buff, you gain the same buff but for a TEMPORARY time. I'm not really sure about this, but my friend thought it up, and i just put it here.

I feel that the main buff that dragon should give is the final buff. The would be the one buff that I would completely understand being a gamechanger. However, because that first dragon buff is so overwhelming, you can pretty much negate the other team from getting dragon if played right.

TL;DR.. Dragon buff is too strong, and dragon itself is too weak. It should get stronger and stronger as the game goes on in accordance with the strong buffs it gives that are permanent. Pretty much the buff needs counterplay.

Yes, if they're not going to move the first buff ( so it's like the 3rd) they should make it harder to kill.

Dragon should ignore any effects that completely negate its attacks (Panther passive, Fiora Riposte, Jax Counterstike etc.).

Furthermore Dragon should inflict Grevious Wounds if he's at half health or less.

In other words - just buff him against being soloed.

And I would love it if the buff was: +4% AD/AP/Armor/MR instead of 8% AD and AP. Would make it more useful for tanks and supports too. Also with swapping the effect of 1st and 2nd Dragon.

I dont think its damage needs to be buffed but defense of dragon and baron both need to be buffed. The way dragon is now though, damage wise he can shoot down squishes really easily.

Dragon's AS raised Dragon's AD raised Dragon's Attacks are now Spells Dragon now spits AoE fireballs Dragon's Attacks reduce Armor Dragon's Attacks now inflict Grievous Wounds for 5 seconds

There, now nobody should be able to solo this guy before level 6 or just ignore him late game

I think i'd be better to swap the movespeed and % dmg increase buffs

Erm, to the people suggesting AoE dragon attacks... It already does. The AoE is just kind of tiny and super easy to stay out of.

Maybe they should program it so it doesn't get kited all day. If played right (by switching agro), the dragon gets confused and never get the chance to attack... that's just pathetic summoner 3
