The jungler calls the dragon, no one else....

He's got the smite, and he should know the vision. Too many times now I've had botlane kill one, then immeadiately go to try and dragon despite the enemy jungler, mid-laner, and one bot still being up. Guys the new dragon is rough, it can and will get you killed even with a numbers advantage, let the jungler call when the Dragon is safe, or at the very least help him ward it.

What? You realize you can just swap aggro and it will never even damage you right? Shit there's numerous junglers that can straight up solo it at low levels.

Edit : LOL Downvoted for truth?

Laners just thinking they know best. Sometimes it's true, other times it's not.

Same goes for ganks. Saying 4 min in to game you need a gank bot Lane when I'm just starting my top side buff... Maybe you want a gank, you don't need it though (I'm complaining because I was an idiot and went to gank after buff anyways and then the adc didn't go in and I lost double buffs for nothing, was on tilt and thought I'd best let others make the call for me - dumb decision, finally got off my streak by being assertive).

The jungler really gets full decision of what objectives take place in laning phase. I think complaining about objectives/ganks during early laning phase is just the sign of a bad player (you can't handle Lane on your own so you say it's the junglers fault for not helping).

That said, there are times we score a double kill bot Lane and mid Lane is pushed, and the jungler decides to buy or something, sometimes your teammate has a better game sense. Would love to see people just start communicating, ask instead of order, and actually take other's advice.

I don't think the jungler should be the only one calling it especially at lower elos. There are many times where players dont' focus on objectives like they should. Being a support main I've found I make better calls as a whole. This doesn't mean every call I make is great, but I'm getting off subject.

I think the jungler should have the final say, but when you get 3 kills have about half health and the jungler starts to walk away I'm pinging dragon. Personally I play healers/tanky supports so I'm either tanking it/trading aggro/healing my jungler who is tanking it. Either way we have the health/sustain to kill him. The same goes for towers/baron. Not everyone focus on objectives/death timers and can make terrible calls.

Overall its a team effort to take objectives and make calls not just 1 person especially in solo Que.If you are on a team you can have that 1 person making the calls and be fine, but it solo Que thats not how it works. Leaving it up to 1 person who only knows 1/5 of whats going on doesn't help. When ADC/Support/Jungler all call for baron you can assume that 3/5 of the team knows something together and can utilize it. Like if bot lane just 2/0 and they have decent health and the enemy jungler just ganked top and your jungler is by drag. Your top laner knows that there are 2 top, mid may still be fighting, and your jungler/bot lane are both free and know whats going on. Easy time to drag.
