[@X3Vort]

Not sure, but i would imagine you need to be in range of the Enemy for the execute to trigger. And like Riot have already said the Elder already is Op it just dosent feel it cause it has a burn over time, but in essence it is doing the same dmg. Now you can see it more obvious. And again like Phy said this Elder is good for the losing side to make a comeback.

[@KTiny]

It’s very hard to get

[@flamingbudder]

X3Vort it’s been playtested already, the elder execute range is infinite. If you’re a teemo in your fountain and someone steps on a shroom outside their fountain and gets to 20% hp it still executes

I'm imagining him with Fire Dragon soul.... imagine he turns on his E and goes ham in enemy team... all those champs in enemy team and minions he is hitting... generating seperate AOEs.... and that he will generate because every 3 seconds... he will be hitting multiple champions at the exact same time with his E on.... so does the AOE come out of only the nearest targets... or all targets?

[@someguy1141]

Initial thoughts on this based solely on this video are that it feels like they are adding too much RNG into the game and that makes things like comps and execution early game possibly have much less of an impact late game than it should. Of course i could be wrong and this is a preseason patch to test everything so we shall see.

It's honestly fairly balanced but the team with more coordination to keeping the objective secured *usually* has the better chance of contesting it if the game is a fair fight.

[@purpurr707]

What if they just made 4 different elemental versions of the rift. Each with their own unique stuff and have that in champ select? Probably gives a more diverse freedom in choosing and building comps oooor a more tactical and controlled way to achieve each element. It feels too much like rng. And we'll get luck rage etc fkfkfk. Imagine in competitive, each team chooses which element to play in back and forth and they can have much more interesting picks and comps! We can finally see other champions!

[@lukejoosten1327]

Fawn Frauscht this idea should be appreciated more

i like this idea, both teams choose a rift element in champ select and whoever kills dragon changes the map to their chosen element rift, that way dragon is very important and worth fighting for. the rift will not change until another dragon is killed or after 5mins changes back to neutral rift. imagine full movespeed comp with wind drakes opop

I love everything about these changes, except for the elder dragon buff. It can be a comeback mechanic, but more often than not the team who is in control of the game is gonna be in control of the elder and if the winning side gets that, I dare say it's a stronger finisher than baron buff. If the average champion on the enemy team has 2000 HP (which is on the low side), that's how much total HP this buff means you can ignore from the enemy team. Not including the burn damage and with seemingly no cap on the range this can execute, it is beyond insane. Counters a lot of champions and items that bring you back from low HP (Maw, Steraks, Wits end).

[@kelmirosue3251]

Same, prefer if it was 5-10%. Nothing more. It should be strong, but not THAT strong

[@azimoc7982]

20% of 2k hp (the general health pool of most level 18 adc's) would be 400 health. A tankier top lane with 3000 - 3500 health would be 600 - 700 for the 20% execute. It's a fair threshold so long as you're aware the buff is there and you can better control the fight. If you're getting rolled, you're gonna get rolled. It's a game-ending buff. That's the point of the elder changes. If you ere 5-10% like the other guy wants it to be, you'd be at 100 - 200 on a 2000 hp adc. Which feels super awkward because at that point, they're one auto away from being killed by most characters with ~250 ad. For tanks, 3000 - 3500 at 5 - 10% execute is 150 - 300 (for 5 - 10% at 3000 hp) and 175 - 350 hp (for 5 - 10% at 3500 hp). That's a super awkward buff to have that is extremely weak. If you were to have a 5 - 10% execute you might as well make your attacks burn for true damage again as that would output more damage than a 5 - 10% execute. The current burn on an even fight will do more than 5 - 10% of the damage to the target depending on your current AD, attack speed, etc. It procs like red buff, having a tick on the first hit and a constant tick throughout.

Riot has actually lost their minds with the 20% health execute. Do they realize what this means? It reduces every single player on the other team's effective health pool by 20%, this is ridiculous and damn near impossible to outplay. The Elder Dragon is supposed to make fighting against the buffed team extremely difficult, but not impossible in much the same way that a team with baron buff can be hard to beat but is still beatable. I personally liked the way Elder Dragon worked with the other "lower" drake buffs, and I feel that the Elder Buff should still work around them - for example, maybe giving the team that kills it an extra dragon soul that they previously did not have would sure as hell be a lot more fair than "woops now you only have 80% of your health to work with"

[@thenarrowpath6661]

No

[@kylbarry4466]

no that's not how it works, the player needs to be damaged when they are below 20% most of the time a player will get damaged when they are not at the 20% more like 10% sometimes even with elder buff some1 wont even get executed because they get reduced from >20% -> 0% in 1 single attack

Can you have a soul shard without the elder drake?

[@Blackoutdmc]

I'm still a little confused about how the Dragon soul works. I think that when you kill the third drake, and the terrain changes only ONE team gets the Dragon Soul buff? And if that's the case is there any chance for the opposing team to obtain the Dragon Soul buff?

[@wadejpeg]

the FOURTH drake determines the dragon soul buff. So whoever takes the fourth drake receives the buff.

[@kelmirosue3251]

3rd dragon that spawns become the terrain. So for instance if you kill an earth and water, then let's say an infernal dragon would spawn next, then the rift itself becomes fiery before the dragon spawns, and the rest of it becomes infernal drakes

[@stevenarvizu3602]

Considering how OP drags affect the game now drags should be added to pick and ban, like each team can pick a drag they want in the game, then those 2 will be in the game. Otherwise it’s kinda RNG as to what champions get actual use out of them and we already have enough RNG nonsense in the game

Imagine getting Dragon Souls but got no Shouts

[@BenGTheSun]

So is dragon soul always the same dragon that changes the map?

Comebacks if enemy team gets drakes will be 100% impossible with these changes...

You can fast forward time so you don’t have to wait 25mind for a drag

[@emotional_st0rm]

He meant having to exit the game and start a new game every time the 3rd drake wasn't the one he was looking for, there was no way to control that it seems

[@alessandroseverino8222]

@@emotional_st0rm the rng dragon no, you can't control it. Yet he was able to go over the 10 mins for show the ms with boots
