Drake spawns decide games.
I'm going to keep this short:
The drake that spawns is random. Each Drake offers different bonuses for the team. Because the Drake is random, then the available bonuses are random. And let's be fair: different Drake buffs have a noticeably different impact on the game depending on what Champions receive the buffs.
Let's use a specific example: Darius v Garen Infernal Drake will favor the Darius over the Garen Ocean Drake will favor the Garen over the Darius
Then consider the champs that can clear Drake camp at lvl 3 like Shyvana and Warwick. Consider how snowballed the game already is. I don't think it's very balanced to have random Drake spawns.
Thoughts?
a lot and seems to only get Cloud Drakes, I'd much prefer any other drake than Cloud, but it is still much better than what drakes were. When I played before the "new drakes" were released, friends and teammates would never want to do drake past the second one, as they thought the third bonus was useless; and I think if the drakes were to be predictable (not random) the same issue would arise.
