Mythical vs Fierce Beast

With the new Dragon champion having been confirmed, would you guys rather have him be a magical dragon, an attack damage champion, or both? Taking into consideration that dragons are said to be magical beings with spiritual powers many would go with an ability power user. On the other hand, dragons are well known for their teeth and claws, so an argument for him to be an attack damage champion also arises. Then they could always go a third way and make him both, but what would be a good median for him to share both traits. What do you guys think would fit him best?

I'd welcome some distance mage controller. So that he can basically stay kind of safely from distance, and control something from there, but would be limited. I remember back when he was supposed to be thundering dragon, I though he may have toggle on/off ability that turns his basic attacks into lighting strikes from sky with large range dealing bonus magic damage but draining Mana. Problem with it would be probably either it would be nerfed to barely being useful early on or too OP, abusing enemy champ early and securing kills too much.

Since Toplaner was released recently (Illaoi) and in case reworks count Poppy is now Tank, Mage sounds more probable.

I'd say a more magical one is more likely. I mean Aurelion evolved from Ao shins concept who looked rather magical and then theres the fact that Shyvana is already an AD-bruiser,even if she isn't a full dragon.

I would think dragons would be best fit for the Juggernaut role.

Dragons are magical, but at the same time, their scales are iron hard, their teeth and claws are impossibly sharp, and they often have supplementation weapons like horns and tail spikes and buffeting wings, that I feel an AD Juggernaut would be the best fit for a dragon.

I just have a hard time seeing a dragon as a Mage who is blown up in 1 second by an Assassin or a team when CC'd. Juggernauts are the 'raid boss' class, and I can't think of a better fit for a dragon than being a raid boss.

I think he should be a tanky mage like Swain or Galio. Shyvana and the Rift Dragon already show the Bruiser and Tank aspects of Dragons so I don't see why another dragon couldn't show a different perspective on this race.
