Elemental Dragons
Dragon Gold 100g to killer ->25g to killer
Ocean Dragon healing 5% Missing health -> 3% Missing health
Turrets
Turret plating gold 160 -> 120 per turret plate
Turret plating Armor/MR per missing plate 30 -> 40
I'm so stunned Riot would make changes to improve the game that I can't come up with a witty remark. I hope this is the start of a trend.
Bear in mind that I don't mind any of those changes
but what the fuck?
We played the entire season 9 with 160 golds on turret plating, and suddenly they decide to hotfix the bounty in season 10? I can't understand their thinking pathern
It only took 40 years...
LOOOOOL. How is taking the gold away from Dragons instead of nerfing buffs and souls going to fix the issue? If anything this puts junglers even farther behind...
Why are we nerfing dragon gold? Like why not remove it 25 is basically nothing.
I'm starting to think they want to make games snowbally but pretend not to. The season changes wouldn't make sense otherwise.
More objectives, more Dragon buffs, Dragon souls, Dragons hp nerf, double Herald, solo exp buff, duo exp nerf, jungle xp nerf. ALL of this changes favor snowballing and what they do to reduce it? They don't nerf Drake buffs or Dragon souls or Herald Damage, they remove gold from Drake, which is actually ONE MORE STEP to avoid comebacks.
You're buying all of their lies and you make a war of the poor between laners and junglers.
If they really wanted to avoid snowballs they would have made the opposite changes to the exp across the map and to jungle in particular. Make Dragons twice as hard to take so they're always a team effort and there is ACTUAL TIME TO CONTEST THEM. Reduce the exp gap between roles so anyone can fight anyone instead of relying on mid to do everything, reduction of solo lane exp would also reduce how much you behind if you get ganked and miss 2-3 minion waves. Nerf Dragon Souls, nerf Herald damage. Make the jungle slower, less safe but more rewarding so ganking really becomes a tradeoff.
They lie to you people! They did everything they possibly could to make games end faster but you can't read between the lines and you let the sugar coating of it all distract you from the bigger picture.
I can understand the first 2 point for lower the dragon influence (even tho i think that 3% of missing health is too much low on my opinion) But the other 2 point make less sense. It's the goal to reduce snowball or herald impact?
Good changes!
Hope they'll follow up on the ocean dragon soul as well.
Dragon is worth less than a single minion wave. 1/2 of one lategame.... I'm sure that was the problem...
