Art Upgrade Win: I think it would be a huge miss if you did a large art revamp like this and didn't add a hoard of gold for dragon to be protecting.

It makes so much sense on a thematic level (classic trope of the dragon hoarding gold and shinies), an encounter level (it illustrates a real reason to actually go and fight dragon: he has a ton of gold that you want/need), and a gameplay level (he seriously GIVES a ton of gold to your team once defeated).

The idea fires on all cylinders, and needs to happen. Why else is dragon here!?

I don't think that's the kind of dragon they're trying to portray in this situation.

I think this is a great Idea! The dragon has its horde from battles on the Rift and you go to claim said gold to power your conquest and claim victory!

With the new spawn animations, we see Dragon arriving in to the pit. The pit is not his home, and any treasure he does hoard wouldn't be there in the river. If anything, the pit is where he goes to prey on weak champions to take their gold back to his lair.

So... gold doesn't rust http://corrosion-doctors.org/MatSelect/corrgold.htm ; on another note the gold does not have to be overwhelming in his layer it can just be a treasure chest that is overflowing and then the dragon appears to defend it when champions are nearby. When the dragon is defeated the treasure chest disappears until respawn time is up. I like the idea OP!

While it is true most dragons hoard treasure, you must remember that this dragon's camp has a layer of water at the bottom. Any metals would easily rust over time in a realistic scenario, but some scattered gems may be better for this dragon's placement.
