Its a cool idea, but it would give away baron timer to teams that don't have it and who haven't checked the baron pit since it was last killed.

Yeah and that's a good idea.

How about if it's only the first time? Since everybody knows it spawns at 15 minutes anyway. Well, most people.

yeah if it was only the first time it would be a nice immersion factor. Easy to, just find the glitch with amumu's laugh and put that on baron roar(jk about that).

Looks like some people still remember it lol

Or if Th sound got louder the closer you are to the baron pit. Ex:loud top and mid, quite bot and by fountains.

I think OP was thinkn about 1st TIME SPAWN. Let's his echo be "hear -able for entire map" at the 1st TIME SPAWN BARON

It would be simple enough to only do this when you have a baron timer, no?

Could it work if it were like the icon reappearing is currently? As in, something that only happens with teams that have seen that Baron has been taken?

Then again, I could see this being actually more annoying than useful, especially if your team is already down. "Thanks, game, for rubbing it in that there's another Baron we won't be able to contest."

The roar would happen roughly as the minimap icon reappears.

It reappears on spawn regardless of how long after Baron died you check the pit.

There is no way ever that the enemy team will do Baron, and you won't know about them doing it(in whatever way), and the times in any sort of competitive setting that you won't have vision of the pit at least once after it has been cleared is really low and you can still make educated guess on the timer.

In cases where the above isn't true, the team that dosen't have vision of the pit probably has bigger concerns than the Baron timer.

Finally...

Failing all that...

Spectator Feature.

Maybe only the team that got the timer could hear it?

But it appears on the mini-map anyway. Beside you still wouldn't know when exactly it was coming up so you wouldn't be in position when it was.

but if they have checked, what about then?

if it happened at the 15 min spot too that would make it more dynamic and make him seem more powerful plz do this for the awesome factor it will add to every match cuz u know everyone will start watching there timers waiting for it in every match

how about it only be heard by the teams with vision

Great idea, bump. :)

I would love this for the first time spawn. It would add a lot more flavor and life to the map. It might also be cool to have it heard on respawn by any team that has vision of baron at the time.

Initial spawn roar would be great :)

Yes pls. That would be awesome :)

He needs a better intro I think. You give dragon that badass, crawling on the wall deal... then baron just pops up, boop!

It's bland. Just saying.

Morvrannis1 votes

Have you seen the full animation? Baron now snakes around the outside of the pit. Looks pretty awesome.

Valyn1 votes

Actually it's diffrent now.He crawls in holes aroun his pit then jumps out it's pretty awesome.

So for some reason my brain read this as Bacon's Roar and I opened it because I was confuzzled.

Anyways, I agree. The first time should be a growl. Following by flying bacon.

Only on the first spawn.

How about the first time, and every time it re-spawns if you had vision of it when it died. Therefore giving you the death timer. It would be kinda like curse voice in a way. The same could work for dragon. And even though both teams are able to hear it. It's the team that gets there first and plans ahead of time that gets the advantage. It would make dragon and baron a lot more contestable IMO.Just an idea.

An addendum to my earlier comment: I think it would be really cool if the baron roar on first spawn was a random occurrence. Sort of an Easter egg deal, but common enough to be recognizable - maybe like, every 8 games or so (12.5% chance). This would help add a lot more flavor to the map, without reducing the impact by hearing it every single game at exactly the same time.

It could be a little annoying walking by and hearing baron roar all the time. considering he spawns much later in the game, that wouldn't be much of a problem. What if when you kill baron he lets out this penetrating roar that shakes the map. The enemys map shakes aswell.
