Riot Server Status: Is Chemtech Drake Coming Back?

Since its official release, the Chemtech Dragon received nothing but nerfs with each passing patch.

"LoL" players complained that its 6% bonus damage multiplier and resurrection buff was too OP (overpowered) in the game.

For reference, here is a Chemtech Soul Sion. This champion managed to resurrect five times in one match!

On Monday, "League of Legends" tweeted that "we heard your feedback, and we're disabling the Chemtech Drake."

At the time of writing, the dragon has been removed from the game.

However, developers did not explain whether they plan to bring back the dragon or delete it permanently. For now, fans have to wait for more updates, which might drop sometime this month.
