Make Baron and Dragon be sleeping until attacked

I kind of find it weird for dragon and baron to be just be chillin in the exact spot doing nothing even when tasty champions walk up to them. I mean the dragon's wings must get get tired? So why not have them sleeping until someone attacks them? And when they wake up they unleash a bloodcurdling roar to accompany their anger and ferocity as they attempt to defend themselves.

Or it could be something else besides their mostly static positions, like devouring a teemo carcass. Really its not in any way needed but i think this would be cool.

Idk man... I wouldn't be able to sleep if I knew scores of humans, void monstrosities, and even yordles were set on killing me multiple times a day.

Aw how am I kidding! Animations would be awesome!

It's always the simplest ideas that are the best. An "at rest" animation for jungle monsters, especially dragon and baron, is a marvelous idea. Most notably because it shouldn't affect game mechanics in any way and should be a comparatively (to anything else added in SR) easy to implement. You have my +1 good sir.

Personally, I'd like for Baron and Dragon to attack someone as soon as they get in range. That way, people wouldn't have such an easy time sitting in Dragon/Baron pit or escaping through it. It also means that (ideally) squishies can't start baron while their tank is in Mid as easily.

Now, now..let's not go being so cruel to defenseless little Teemos. (;

I would prefer for baron and dragon to attack first. Attacking a sleeping beasty would place a lot of guilt in my hand.

LOl i like that idea. the only problem is "bloodcurdling part". Kinda hard to sneak baron when he is roaring. Unless the roar has no sound which is weird.

Riot, make this happen. I'm seriously surprised I haven't heard an idea like this before. Of course this would have to be implemented on all the jungle camps.

Actually I have another idea

Make so that when turrets are shooting bolts that their eyes would have a red glare or something

It's sad seeing that a turret is just standing there and it somehow detects enemies without anything.

Turrets need to be more than just a statue that can shoot bolts

Since if you look at a turret it looks like a weird person or animal with a magic wand

Well that's great, but how about the smaller monsters? These need to be sleeping as well:

Wolves, Wraiths , Golems, Ancient golem (blue), Elder lizard (red), And the new monster they introduced in the preseason, I forgot what it was called

And if I'm missing something please add to this lol

This is honestly more important than balancing champions. They really SHOULD be asleep.

Goldenelk5981/16/2014, 4:32:09 AM3 votes

Make it so that dragon and baron will only attack teemo if he is on either team and in the area! lol

if you play teemo in a high elo, you have serious problems... js

Sometimes even the simple animations are the best new features.

Riot doesn't need to be making champions ALL the time.

+1 for this

Sleeping waking and going back to sleep animations and sound effects would be awesome too!

Seems like a waste of Riot's time, that could be better spent improving the game. Fun idea but, screw it, who cares. Waste of time.

Yo this ain't pokemon. They can't just be sleeping on the job like Lugia and all the other conveniently tired legendries. They gotta be awake since they are doing a job to defend global gold and buffs.
