Here me out.
Elder dragon buff is extremely strong. To the point even the loosing team with a worse comp can win a teamfight and turn things around.
This is specially true lategame when loosing team can give up baron for an elder dragon.
It's not worth to kill dragons and spawn him. (regular) Dragons buff are not too strong. That's why the soul exists in regular lol.
Please don't bother commenting obvious stuff such as "you should ace before doing baron", "winning team will have priority over objectives". This is obvious. You're not bighead for commenting that.
The issue is you're increasing the chances of enemy team of turning the game while winning poor benefit over rushing dragons.
