What baron is for
Things baron is for:
- sieging.
- creating pressure
- baiting
- creating a gold lead
- pressing a pre-existing advantage
- mounting a comeback
- killing people who have low health and attempt to escape over the baron pit (my personal favorite)
Things baron is not for:
- a celebratory hoorah after winning a 5v5 when minions are already at enemy towers/inhibitors and you could just win the game without it
- something to do when there's nothing else to do and you have no pressure or vision of enemies
- a means of acquiring a nifty neato purple aura and fast recalls
- a way to prove to your team how badass you are through soloing baron when you have no vision or map pressure
