I can definitely agree that baron has very little impact on the game. It mostly serves to make it so a team that is already winning the game finishes things faster.

You can definitely say that there are throws made at baron on all sides of the table, but that doesn't mean that it's the correct way to play.

The trend teams are moving to from what I've seen is to value towers and inhibitors far above baron, and only take baron when they're so far ahead that they aren't risking a baron throw anymore. I could be wrong, but that's how I see it these days.

I think the more accurate thing to say, is that Baron is so risky that most teams won't attempt it unless they know that they can secure it, or the team is so far ahead that they know the other team can't contest. And hence, why Ketara and xes may argue that baron has little impact in the game, because it is something that pro teams only think about when the game is basically soft-gg'd.

At the same time it will increase chances for the losing team to make a comeback though. They'll have a better chance of winning the 5v5 under their tower than they did previously.

So instead of baron meaning the winning team suffocates the losing team to death over the next 5-6 minutes, it will mean taking baron signals another big fight in the next 2-3 minutes, where either the winning team will end the game right there or the losing team will make a comeback.

So the winning team will win faster, but the losing team will have a higher chance of a comeback. Both of these things are good spectator experience.



My general opinion is that Baron has almost no impact on the game.


really?
so nobody has lot a game by trying to do baron
or nobody has sat at baron for 30 minutes cleraing vision around it so other team sticks around

Hotly contested Barons are a huge risk (see: NA LCS)

Uncontested/sneaky Baron is a reflection of the rest of the state of the game, of which if Baron did not exist, the team that gained Baron would have instead gained advantages elsewhere.

My point is that the 1st Baron 90+% winrate statistic from World's is almost certainly not a causal relationship.

I agree on that last part. I think that people take who take Baron win because they have the advantage to allow them to take it, not because they get the advantage FROM taking the Baron.

Either way, they're not changing it's effectiveness, but instead using it as a clever device to speed up the game, which I like.

Also, don't get me wrong, I think that Baron is definitely more powerful right now than Xes gives it credit for, but oftentimes by the time one team can take the baron the game is already decided. Simply taking the Baron 90% of the time means you're ahead, either because of snowball or you just won a teamfight AT baron.

Yeah exactly.

The point is to speed up the game, IMO.

I think the baron change is great. It's what baron should be, a tool to improve the game-ending power of the winning team in a situation where they are ahead but not enough so to just walk up and end. However, by making it MS and tower dmg - it allows counterplay from the defending team and actually encourages them to be aggressive and initiate fights against a baroned team. It encourages action from both teams instead of discouraging it from one and making it boringly easy for the other. THe right kind of snowball.

Also, if the losing team sneaks/steals a baron it isn't some dumb situation where suddenly they are beasting out teamfights they have no business winning.

Which is why this change is so funny! Once again, RIOT shows that they do not like natural changes, so they change numbers and give things (baron buff in this case) a more potent tool, for the natural change that is happening right now; poke comps.

30 mins of baiting around baron is a lot more boring honestly


if you can still win a teamfight it wont matter so much that they have baron because you can just teamfight when they committ to a tower push

I don't really understand how the new baron buff would favor poke comps?

I can see it favoring dive comps and split push comps, but not poke comps. The old bonuses favor poke comps.

I just hope it takes awhile for the Nidalee fad to bleed over into NA, I'm too busy winning to let anyone else have her.

JK I never win in ranked, but I get much closer winning with Nidalee that I do typically. Usually Riot makes make computer shut down because theres no other way for me to lose.

Also Ketara, it's because the point of poke comps is to get people off of a turret, and use the turret gold to snowball the carries. Typically the further you get into the base the harder it is to kill turrets because people heal faster, but thanks to the extra turret damage it will allow poke comps to not have to take so long and lose their momentum.

Baron buff remade to increase tower killing damage by a large % and grant a out-of-combat MS boost(like ms5 boots). the old regen and ap/ad buff removed



More movement-speed grants better disengagement tools for heavy poke-comps. I can't see how it would favor dive comps (well maybe in the start, but once people get a grasp of the mspd buff, people will retreat further back), but yeah it also favors split-push comps ALOT.

No regen so team without baron if poke comp is maybe better off than before.?

you cant regen when you poke at tower now
it wont be much harder to engage because the combat starts once you start firing spells at each other i think

I've never thought of mobo boots as being a strong disengagement tool. Maybe they are, but the 5 second requirement is pretty severe. Maybe if it's lower than 5 seconds?

The old bonuses favor poke comps because they make it ideal to slowpush and give the regen and AP/AD necessary to poke the other team down. The new bonuses would favor dive comps because they make it more ideal to dive on the tower and do damage to it while you have the buff. Maybe not make it more successful, but favor that sort of play.

I dunno! Not really worth discussing this much more IMO. For all we know Misaya is trolling us and it's gonna be lols.
