Thanks. I chose to put my AP bot BECAUSE it would be useless at securing dragon. The idea is to 'hide' that it's happening because bot is not missing. The (potentially tanky) jungler and (reasonably) tanky mid champs should be able to handle it no problem, while the main damage threat in the bottom lane is being distracted by the prospect of an easy lane or lots of kills, none the wiser to dragon being taken. I don't think this deception would be too hard. Jungle gets there how they normally would, cutting through their jungle as not to be seen. Mid on the other hand, would make sure they are seen. Have them run in the dieection of Baron and cut round behind their lane towards dragon, giving them impression they are either going to get a buff or gank top. As both are likely to be building a WL and should have one by this point, the drag kill will be much quicker and less likely to be noticed in time.

As for an early Baron, I see your point. That's why I want 2 - 3 people building WL. The procs make it easier to kill, and there's more survivability. This is why I would particularly prefer jungle Shen or any tank in the jungle, because they can be a tank too. With more WL procs, it allows for squishier champs to tank it because the fight won't last as long. He'll also have less max health because it's been less time since he spawned. Bot would, once again, make this a 'stealthy kill'. Because if bot and possibly the support as well are both purposefully present on the map, the enemy team is less likely to know what's going on in the background. Thanks for reminding me of Maokai passive, by the way. Having him jungle/supp/mid might be another one of the most desirable picks like I mentioned for Shen earlier.
