Chemtech Drake Disabled

Following player feedback, Riot Games disabled the Chemtech Drake, Soul, and Terrain in League of Legends.

These were introduced in preseason and they were intended "to have a higher impact on games than the original four elemental drakes," but feedback suggests they're more a source of frustration for players being massively too strong and impactful for their place in the game.
