dragon fly in delay complications

Ok, so if youve seen the video preview of the new SR you probably saw the part covering dragon, and the new animation where it flies in roars then crawls down into the pit looks cool and all, but i'm a bit concerned about the effects that this could have on dragon fights.

When is the best time to go for dragon? Usually when the other teams ADC is down, and their jungler either has no smite, or is accounted for somewhere else on the map. If the dragon is untargetable during this whole animation sequence this could mess with what should be a safe dragon play by giving the other team the few crucial seconds to get back into position for a steal.

Maybe its just me?

The spawn animation actually occurs before the spawn time. So say the animation takes 5 seconds and dragon spawns at 7:50. The spawn animation will start at 7:45 and finish exactly at 7:50 when Dragon would normally appear. Also, this animation only occurs on the spawn of Dragon, not every time it comes into view.

Edit: Yea go ahead and downvote the answer to the question, see how far that gets you.

The animation starts before actual time when you can start attacking dragon so that the time will match up with the current time. Nothing will change in terms of when you can get dragon.
