5th elemental drake idea

Jekisand··2 votes·510 views

How about a Time Drake/Mercurial Drake?

His effect would be granting tenacity to the team which slain it. Like maybe 5%/10%/15% or 10%/12.5%/15% (I actually have no idea about the stats)

That would be a nice option against team comps that have a lot of crowd control. That would also make item 3111 more attractive.

Tell me what you guys think about it!

P.S: I don't know if that's the board where you post new drake ideas so i maybe i made a mistake, sorry in advance.

Not very useful against teams that don't have CC.

A team without CC is useless anyways.

I can approve of this idea.

I think a tenacity drake doesn't really fulfill any new sort of niche for a team. Fire drake gives your team more raw power, it's the teamfight drake. Earth drake gives your team bonus damage on objectives, it's the turret taking and baron/dragon control drake (especially due to augmented smites) Water drake gives you huge amounts of sustain, it's the siege drake (and the laning drake, it's definitely most important early game) Air drake gives you out of combat movespeed, it's the rotation drake

Every different elemental buff augments something that provides benefits for a different aspect of the game, teamfights, objective control, sieging, roaming and rotations. A tenacity buff would just be another teamfighting bonus, overlapping with the AD+AP buff from fire drake, while also making you slightly more difficult to lock down, overlapping with the roaming potential of air drake.

I think instead a new drake should be thought of from the top down, what's an aspect of the game that none of the other dragons currently cover? (I would say splitpushing but that's typically been Herald's domain).

Yes i agree, but what other part of the game could a new drake cover? Besides, i don't think a new drake covering the same aspect of another is bad, Herald is also made for turret taking since you can now push with it and shove a lane.

Herald sort of overlaps with mountain but not significantly. Because Herald actually goes down really fast when it's defended against and contested Herald is more for punishing unattended lanes and creating huge map pressure. You'd outright waste herald in a 5v5 siege trying to take mid tower for instance. Even with the mid season rework it's still more splitpush oriented.

I'd say we need a waveclear and minion push power dragon, but that's sort of baron's job.

yeah, because hyper carry need less reasons to fear cc, lol

Jekisand1 votes

That is like saying "because hyper carry need more damage" talking about infernal drake, lol

That's not the point, the point is that it would be an attractive drake in terms of strategy, and therefore, it will create an interest and a reason to fight for it.

So you're ok with CC having 25% effectiveness on Irelia, yeah, you must be an Irelia main for sure. 2 second stun? Hur dur, 3 tenacity drakes + passive + boots, WOOOOOOOOOOOO

Jekisand1 votes

Yeah I thought of Irelia and i expected answers talking about her.

First of all, i never play Irelia, and Top lane is the lane i hate the most.

Secondly, you're talking about ONE specific situation, with ONE specific build, and 3 tenacity drakes spawning in ONE specific game. And you also included the fact that the team which Irelia would be in would get those 3 tenacity drakes. You don't balance things thinking about only one specific situation.

And yes i'm ok with CC having 25% effectiveness on Irelia in THAT specific game.

RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT because this isnt a community that exploits broken champs, which, that drake would definitely make broken. And it's not just her, theres so many champions that dont need tenacity on tenacity

Jekisand1 votes

Then people will ban her. That's it lol Quote the champions you're talking about, saying "so many champions" doesn't prove anything.
