Just a quick question, I was wondering if you will be able to see the spawn animations of dragon and baron if you don't have vision of the dragon pit and baron pit. If you are on the outside wall, will you still see them fly around?
Nope, you have to have vision of the spawn point of any creature in order to see it's spawn animation. Still gotta keep those pits warded :)
an actually very nice idea would be .. to make the dragon at random times in the match if it is not respawned or yet come back from the previous encounter ..to fly above summoner's rift.. of even to only be able to see its shadow at random parts of the map as it flies.. that would be so cool and epic.. you could even make him not to appear flying near baron ..to actually hint a portray of territorial conflict with baron nashor..
Will there be more lag when monster camps spawn?
I was watching the VOD with the game commentary and I noticed something during the Baron fight. Baron has a succession of spells that he uses every 3 auto attacks. One of the spells is a projectile that rains down in a line (like Viktor's laser or Rumble's ultimate). I noticed that it seemed to rain down in a random direction away from baron, even while nashor was attacking the tank elsewhere. Wouldn't it be more interesting if the line always stretched towards the champion holding aggro? Then you could use baron to land his skills for your team. You could have the tank rotate baron so he landed attacks over the wall at the enemy jungler awaiting the steal. Or make baron land the last hit on a fleeing champ with low hp. Just a thought.
it kinda bugs me that Dragon and Baron die... I mean, if in the respawn animation they come back to the pit, from wherever they were, shouldn't they leave the pit when they "die"? I personally think it would look awesome if the Dragon flew away when he "dies", and then comes back when he recovers from his injuries (6 min later). Same for Baron. Just like Vilemaw in the Twisted Treeline. Great job on the new rift, tho. its looking marvelous. cant wait to play it.
