Go for Baron AND THEN Dragon... 4th Dragon < Baron and 4th Dragon. You can end with just the pushing power of Baron, why wait for the small chance they are going to let you get 5th Dragon in a game where its pretty much tied and they out-scale you?
So idc if you want to send one person to solo Dragon, but take Baron please its a free uncontested Baron... 4th Dragon and the chance at 5th Dragon is not better...
3tyson2 votesdepends on how long til enemy team is up id say... a team whom was winning did this to me and i reksaid to baron and stole it
all of a sudden they where not winning so much annymore
Stephenizgod1 voteswhen you have just aced them but its not long enough to take another structure... for me the only person up was Cait but there were a lot of minions in their base so it was free baron and drag but no... dont listen to the guy carrying the team listen to the one who continually throws whatever lead we gained... thats what my elo is.
3tyson1 votesI hobestly prefere to keep baron warded and dont touch it unles we are losing
but like you said if the enemy team has been aced amd all the ways for them to get to baron are warded and there defending 2 nexus turrets cause we jist took inhab its sort of save to take how ever you dont really need it annymore
Stephenizgod1 voteswell its not like we hafta take Baron but after taking Drag we lost a teamfight and then lost all of mid, Baron, and the 5th dragon buff... So my team gambled a small chance of having 5th drag buff (idk they thought it was better then straight winning but whatever) and lost the game for us. Dragon is kind of a noob trap i feel like people at lower elos like my own see only getting 5th drag not what it can cost us or what to do if we fail.
3tyson1 votesBaron + 4 drags > bigger than 5 drags duhh?
Stephenizgod1 votesmy point exactly
3tyson1 votesBaron is always better than 1 drag Even if its the last one
the only problem is the risk of taking baron even when it seems save if the enemy team rushes in and gets an ace + your baron
Stephenizgod1 votesThat is always a risk, but when you have literally just aced them and pushed into their base but cant win, there is little chance they can do that. That is why you need good warding in their Jungle to see when they are coming. Then you can do 1 of 2 things, bait Baron and kill whoever rushed over (since they were not all going to be up at the same time) or you can ward Baron and back off.
junglerboy161 votesBut don't EVER try to force nexus turrets/nexus in that situation unless your own base is pushed in (meaning you lose unless you win right then and there) and you are absolutely desperate, and death timers still have at least 40-50 seconds.
Stephenizgod1 votesYes this is another good point, it actually happens a lot in my games. Also trying to force a teamfight, sometimes you are only winning teamfights due to circumstance and trying to force a fight that just isnt feeling right can cost you a lot.
