We need to talk to you about League’s Chemtech dragons because they’re a mess right now.
Sometimes things in games are ‘broken’ because they’re overpowered, sometimes they’re broken because they simply don’t work — well, amazingly — Chemtech dragons are somehow both types of broken.
They’re broken — and they’re broken — and Riot only has a few weeks to fix them before the competitive season starts…

☣CHEMTECH THOUGHTS BELOW THIS COMMENT☣
Honestly respect to Riot because they're always putting out new stuff and just don't leave the game as it is for 10 years
So they nerfed stealth champions by adding more stealth
since its already broken, let break it more. chem soul should just be an additional active skill that when pressed, will add true damage per attack but in return, your movement will be on "chaos". "chaos" right click right but you'll go left and vise versa. to target enemy, you'll need to attack yourself but it will prioritize the nearest.
When you play sion and you have chemtech you get revived 2 times 1 with zombie and the 2nd one is sion passive
they should just make an assassin's creed moba because of all those stealth shit lol
Meanwhile dota2 had smokes of decite for years XD
I genuinely feel like everyone making excuses for riot rn are just on copium. Game was shit last year. Nobody asked for item changes, yet we were hyped for the idea it presented: more build variety. Yet we did not get that, quite the opposite actually. Balance was a nightmare, but season 12 could somewhat redeem it. But they shit the bed again. League is genuinely an unfun game to play, and I dare you to record yourself while you play and seebif that is the face of someone having a good time.
Make the chemtech map to act like Senna's E, this way you cant know who's here or right click on them but you can see them
… Isn't it already ruined?
dude raise ur voice
I don't play league but WTF is wrong with RIOT?
The soul is completely whatever it’s pretty useless imo, the map is the real problem it’s so miserable to play. He tech is completely pog no complaints.
The Chemtech and Hextech dragons are probably just ads for Arcane.
I have 3 requests Riot.
1. Bring back old Aatrox;
2. Bring back old Aurelion Sol; and
3. Please for the love of God, stop trying to create these new and crazy things (items, map, champions) that inevitably ruins the game. I love this game so much but Season 11 really took a toll on me. On top of that, you create more of these. Can you please slow down on the new champion creation and try to update your other old champions that desperately need an art and model change, skill change, etc.? Please listen to the community like you have in the past.
League pisses me off right now, I've been a regular player for 6 years and I have the feeling I don't have anymore impacts on any of my games because of some points like Chem tech, some healing champ, some one shot some tanks…
To save your time, yes, its fucking ruining the game
Didn’t the hex tech drake had a bug with shaco?
as a maokai main, the chemfog ruins my life
the Chemtech map is BS, since it made wards useless 🙁
I dont know why riot is obsessed with stealth, viego has a stealth, ashkhan has a stealth (which doesnt even make sense), now dragon give even more stealth
☣CHEMTECH THOUGHTS BELOW THIS COMMENT☣
So there is still old presenters left on this channel? I was beginning to think Elisabeth was going to do it solo.
When Zaun goes Outta control knowing that Zaun people are better than Piltovers
they just need to balance it a bit.
the fog IMO will actually force teams to try to play agrro in the enemy side when behind. That might make pro play less passive than previous seasons. Also the ressurect thing didnt make Akshan a top pick in challenger… it might need patching, but broken? Doens't feel broken in my games.
i love that he says twat. makes me proud to be british!
Hextech is alright and quite fun but chemtech is seriously cancerous
New season, new whinefest, feelsgood.
To me i dont play league, i play another game, but hey watching this? i mean its overpowered yeah but to actually make it fair and good just make the buff goes to 1 guy, whomever last hits the dragon gets the zombie state buff, you can thank me later.
Game sucks since 8.11
cant stop looking at that booger
I hate that Riot did so many changes based around arcane. It was a good fking show, but there's no need for this. There's no need to make two new drakes based on Piltover and Zaun just because Arcane came out. Chemdrake just feels dirty. I do like the hextech portals though. That is fun
I have never even watched someone play leaugue let alone play it, it just doesn't appeal to me at all
It is so annoying that riot, every fucking year goes "alright 12 months in a year, let's have 9,5-10 of them mean something, and then just pure fucking anarchy for the rest" instead of just being consistently good year round. None of my mates, nor myself, liked the item reworks, since they have in our opinions been net negative for the expierience of the game. Now they double down on it, and with even more bullshit added in. League is so unfun right now, really not enjoyable at all
Riot games:
– Christmas event ? Nah, not worth and we'll never bring it back. Don't ask again.
– lgbt event ? Oh, good idea ! Let's do that every year and you are now employee of the year.
Classic 2019 – 2021
Hot take time: the chemtech map is nowhere near as favored towards the winning side as everyone has made it out to be. Let me explain…
What is it about a winning team that allows them to keep constant pressure over the game? The ability to leave free ward vision in the enemy jungles and track the enemy team constantly without using ally numbers to defend them, allowing for constant map play that can snowball into a victory. However, this chemtech map makes that much harder for the winning side to enforce: wards dropped are pink wards instead of trinket or support wards, making vision dropped on the opposing side easier for them to clear or avoid altogether. In this way, a losing team can sneak around the map and potentially enter jungles much easier, as long as they use numbers and their own vision to push into the jungle of choice.
This threat of the stronger team sitting in the enemy jungle to wait for a pick and starve out the weaker side is a strategy, but that would involve sending a large part of the team (potential 3 or 4 members to be safe) to spend a large amount of time in a jungle with little resources to take. If this is the case, the losing side can instead ignore the jungles and focus on controlling the minion waves, forcing the winning side to play reactive to wave control and leave the camouflage in the jungles in order to progress their lead.
For these reasons, there is simply very interesting and productive strategy surrounding this new map type. I believe the real problem everyone is worried about is not knowing what to do about it from the weak side. This will get realized more and more over time, as has figuring out other major LoL changes as well.
