what happens if they have baron warded and send 4 people to contest while the 5th takes the free dragon?

well people tend to neglect warding on baron side when drag is about to spawn in 30 sec.

still works even if baron is warded, but nothing else around it. as long as you didn't hover baron, (which is a dead giveaway you are planning to do baron) as soon as they start drag and you go do baron, most of the time they will be too late even if they see you doing it as long as your team isn't that far behind and you have sufficient damage.

Oh. I try to always keep a ward on baron past ~25-30 minutes. It's pretty easy with the upgraded trinket wards but I guess not everybody thinks to do that.

Had this exact scenario hapoen. Our team was behind, we went to contest dragon which had just spawned in the early late game (+30min). No one was there so bot lane started it and then we got sight of enemies near baron...other three contested while we quickly took dragon. Then our jungler dove for the steal, and bot lane helped clean up once they were done using coin to engage from river. We got 3 kills a dragon and baron buff to maybe 2 deaths in the end.

This situation could easily have gone the other way haf we not gotten the steal anf been able to mow through dragon and close distance fast to clean up. It is a high risk high reward tactic that can work well or backfire. The team that was ahead never recovered after that enage and we used baron buff to turn the tide and win.

In the post's scenario, their whole team was hovering at dragon pit. In your scenario, you only let 2 people do dragon and having 3 stalling/fighting at baron. So I guess your way is a way to "counter" what KirbyCake said.

Sorta...in my scenario my team WAS the team of 5 hovering dragon as it spawned. We all started it and caught site of one if thier team going into river baron side river, so 3 broke off to contest and adc/sup finished dragon.
