I hate playing solo queue.
We had a warwick doing dragon and then there was no one at bot second turret.
I told him to go get it and he said Dragon is more important. Derp.
We ended up losing.

Inhib for sure. There *are* situations where dragon is more important, though. Namely early-mid game. If the enemy team is pushing top with all 5, you've got 2 guys defending and they are doing a solid job defensively, and you have 3 guys hanging out bottom..... they should do dragon, no question. While pushing a turret is roughly the gold equivalent, the turret will wait, where as dragon will turn into an advantage for the other team if they get it.

I'd say as a rule taking dragon is never worth losing a turret. Aside from that it's usually more important than taking a outside turret, sometimes more important than an inner, and never more important than an inhib.


This.

Dragon will become the enemy advantage if you don't take it first. If you can take the dragon uncontested, instead of pushing a tower, do it. Enemy towers will never become a gold/exp advantage for the enemy. However, NEVER risk losing a turret for dragon.

Hypothetical situation: Both teams are about evenly matched. Your team just took baron and had a minor team fight. Your team is down one champion and enemy team is down 2 champions and is retreating. All downed champions have approx 40sec till respawn.
The map situation is as follows:
-Enemy top lane still has all turrets.
-Enemy mid lane inhibitor is exposed.
-Enemy bot lane is down to inhib turret.
-Dragon is up.

What should be your team's next move?


40 seconds? take bot inhib turret, and one inhib, if you cant in forty seconds, not enough coordination

When it comes to choosing between turrets or dragon/baron, ALWAYS ALWAYS go for turrets. The reason is because you gain global gold for your teammates, but you also gain MAP CONTROL. Map control is vital in this game. Towers give sense of security when laning. Most of the time, people won't dive when there are all the towers up. So why not rip away the sense of security of your enemies?

Dragon and Baron can wait.
