Idea on How to Make Drakes Healthier

Remove Elder Dragon alotgether.

Maintain Dragon Souls, but change the buff to function as follows.

Elemental Drakes spawn even after a team captures four drakes. A team with four dragon buffs that captures another drake gains a dragon soul. A team with dragon soul maintains their soul indefinitely, but they can exchange it by slaying the next elemental drake unless the drake matches their existing soul at which point, the team would slay it not for a buff, but to deny the enemy team the buff.

Extended games would then provide both teams the opportunity to have a dragon soul.

No more cancerous elder execute and drakes maintain their importance.
