I think the effort that NEEDS to be put into an effective dragonblade makes succeeding with it WAY more fun. Like sure you could just use riptire when 5 people are on the payload and get an easy team kill, but that wasn’t you that destroyed the entire enemy team, that was Riptire. To succeed with dragonblade is to thrust yourself into the entire enemy team who have just been alerted to you needing to be THE biggest target in the game, and not only surviving, but winning through nothing but your own skill and evasion alone, and i think that feels much better than any 2 second riptire could be.
