This game has officially become League Of Retards. "Derr we thought enemy should be on equal playing field so now, NO ONE HAS TO WARD DRAGON, know why? BECAUSE YOULL KNOW WHEN THE NEXT ONE IS UP NO MATTER WHAT!!!!! AREN'T YOU EXCITED, Don't You just love diminishing competitive advantages in a competitive game!?!?!?"
Because when the enemy kills dragon, you can see that little red buff on top of enemy champions that lets you know dragon was just killed. You look at the current time, and add 6 minutes to it. Riot said that this will allow you to contest dragons and not have to keep doing math/guesses on when its spawning.
There was ALREADY a global sound + visual if they have vision of any member of your team. I already used that to know when dragon was up 90% of the time anyway.
...Everyone already knew exactly when dragon died as there was the global sound effect and the sudden surge of fire particles around enemy champions. Outside of having all 5 people take dragon in an ENTIRELY unwarded area there was no way to hide dragon being gotten; you took whatever time people started glowing and you heard the yell and added 6.
Because stealth is a no-fun mechanic that is too hard to counter.
...
Wards? What the fuck are those? I'm Bronze!
Unless you play with the game muted you already knew when they took Dragon... so all you had to do was look at the timer and add the respawn time of Dragon to it. Riot has stated before they don't want people focused on unnecessary tasks and to focus more on actually playing the game.
