Its literally because if you get a rift herald you get closer to winning the game. If you get dragon soul you basically WIN the game. The only way you could make rift herald equal to dragons is by making it able to take an inhibitor with ease.
No..
The reason rift herald is not a priority is because the damage is so high in the game right now that towers shred like paper..
If minions are within range of tower, I can release herald and then take that tower down before herald get a chance to attack it..
So herald is not saving you any amount of time when it comes down to it..
Which makes the only herald worth actually getting, is the first one. Before turret plating has fallen..
If you use it on top or mid.. it can give them a nice gold spike over their opposing laner.. or get them caught up in money if they are a couple deaths behind.
Or at least make her instant kill the first tower she hits and not just part of it not matter how full it was.
but what if the enemy jungler takes both rift herald and dragons?
Pre 14 min 1st rift (IF used to get turret plates) is bigger than getting One of the 1st 2 dragons, because you can make a winning solo lane (or botlane) Hard snowball and unlock to help the rest of the map.
2nd herald is a joke tho. As is thinking Baron buff is equally impactful with EITHER elder or dragon soul (both elder buff and dragon soul >>>>>> baron buff).
They just need to dump the power or remove the dragon souls. The game didn't really need any "more win" scenarios, especially with an Elder Drake that now gives you a fucking execute.
