You're right on that. Dragons do dominate the game, but some people are too reckless. That's why Sala in OU metagame doesn't need more than 3 turns to set-up. 2-3 DDs is all it will ever need to wipe out an entire team, regardless of whether you're counting in STAB or not (speaking from 3rd gen perspective). Dragonite, Sala and Uber-dragons are some of the best in the OU-metagame and beyond. They're sometimes belittled because people assume that it's game-over because they have a Pokemon with an Ice attack, so they assume that Sala will be of very little threat. Altaria's a mini-Sala too, if you go for offensive and speed, only about 3-4 Dragon Dances is all it'll need, tbh, this is with Adamant Nature. I've seen sets for Defensive Altarias, and I wanted to use that, since defensive Alts works wonders with it's defensive stats as well as it's wide movepool (HELLYEAHAZE).
