Rift Herald bug - save herald for later in the game (way post 25min mark, when you also have baron)

Fegone·Sep 29, 2017·2 votes·2,505 views

There's a way how you can summon Rift Herald and keep him around for way past the 20min mark, when Baron spawns. You go to Krug camp, and drop him behind the big Krug. (see image attached)

What happens is the Herald then gets stuck behind them and cannot move out from there, and he just sits there. Then, later when you get Baron, you can go back, kill the Krugs (or just attack them to make them move), which will free the Herald. And suddenly you're pushing the lane with Baron buff, Baron buffed minions, and the Rift Herald. This is just insane.

Pls check into this issue of the Herald getting stuck. Maybe just have him teleport back to his spawn place and walk back to lane from there, if it's noticed that he is stuck and doesn't move for a few seconds.

The enemy team knows where Herald is so they can just kill him while he's stuck...

Well, that would mean they have to venture off into the enemy team's jungle, which put's them at a disadvantageous position. I just think this was intended to happen, so I think it should get fixed.

It's more of a problem with unit collision as a whole. It's a part of the game but creep block is a common problem in laning. It can be a confusing mechanic since you never really notice it until some minions trap you against a wall and you get killed by a tower, but they can't just remove it since they don't want divers to be able to run through tanks to kill the carries.

That's a good point. Unit collision is awful, creep block is terrible, and i've had instances where I was surrounded by 4 minions and couldn't move in ANY direction any more. Dynamic pathfinding might have its advantages, but it's exactly that that also makes u go left/right/left/right alternating forever when minions move in front of you and you cant catch up to pursue your enemy.

I dk how to solve it, frankly i have no solution for it. All I know is it sucks, I understand it has its place in the game, but the way it is it sucks.

Would this not be considered and exploit / cheating ?

At this point i doubt it. I posted this 5 months ago, it has been there since before that, Riot surely is and has been aware of it (for a long time), but if you can still do that, I don't think they could or should get you for cheating / using an exploit any more.
