Riot are now including dragon type in their reporting. Beginning with the IEM Oakland stats, and going forward for all new team stats pages, Oracle’s Elixir will be reporting dragon control rates separately for elemental drakes (infernal, mountain, ocean, and cloud) and elder dragons. The DRG% label will continue to be used for “regular” dragons, while ELD% will represent elder dragon control.
