Either Infernal Dragon is too strong or all the others are too weak.

They all give nice bonuses, but the Infernal Dragon's bonuses are game changing. The others can't really compete, especially when you start stacking Infernals.

Either Infernal is too strong or the others need to be brought up to par with it.

The problem with these drakes is that there will ALWAYS be one that's stronger than the other. At least this one has an obvious numerical advantage and has a clear cut purpose, to kill people. I'd much rather that be really good then have some specialized drake like objective damage or movement speed be really strong, because everyone benefits relatively equally from it and it's power isn't really invisible

the problem is that we don't have a buff that gives defensive boosts to counter act the infernal drakes. the game has too much damage. the infernal drakes. keystone mysteries. playing anything squishy and short ranged and especially immobile is becoming more and more impossible.

thats probably why a lot of carries build semi tank with 1 or 2 defensive items nowadays. I remember when master yi and fiora used to build like 5 damage items

Everyone's so damage focused that they deny the fact that Water Drag was the strongest one before, which is why it received the first nerf for all the dragons.

There's no doubt however that the Wind one really needs a buff.

Yeah if a team gets dragon control early and is lucky enough to get 3 infernals it is GG. I had a ranked game recently in which I was playling top, and our team was even in kills, but our bot lane was losing so the enemy team had dragon control. The first 3 dragons were infernal, and they just crushed us in teamfights despite the fact we were pretty much even in gold. Just their carries did way more damage than ours. If they had gotten any other dragon type we would have had a chance to come back, but infernals are just too good mid/late game.

If you play a late game comp, you afford to give up any dragon but if you give up 2 or more infernals you are screwed. This update really made late game comps the victims of RNG, because you can win pretty easily if the enemy doesn't get any infernals by playing safe, but you have to contest dragon early if there are infernal spawns.
