League of Legends Chemtech Dragon & Map Disabled in New Hotfix
League of Legends has disabled the Chemtech Dragon along with its associated Dragon Soul and map variant in a hotfix released today. Season 12 of League of Legends saw the addition of two new dragons to the game along with a bevy of other changes. Previous dragon souls were extremely potent for the most part but the changes they made to Summoner's Rift were relatively mild. The terrain for the Mountain Dragon added some additional walls, while the Infernal Dragon destroyed some and removed brush from certain areas of the map.
The two new dragons, the Hextech Dragon and the Chemtech Dragon, are much more daring and make bigger changes to the game than previous dragons, as well as having higher win rates for teams that acquired their associated dragon soul buffs. The Hextech Dragon adds portals to the game that can take players across the map, and upon achieving its dragon soul grants a buff that gives a slowing and damaging effect that chains across nearby enemies upon hitting them with an attack or ability. The Chemtech Dragon, on the other hand, adds areas of camouflage to Summoner's Rift that hide champions while they are outside of a certain distance from enemies. The dragon soul buff associated with it gave the receiving team the ability to respawn on the spot as a zombie upon death and briefly fight again. These additions, though, have proven to be difficult to balance and have caused consternation among the player base.
