dear god, it made it to live without changes.

abuse it while you can folks. best part is, people arent used to playing against the thing yet, or contesting it.

i got ??? pinged even by my teammates when i summoned it and it took 1/3 of an inhib turrets health.

I don't know what Riot was thinking....

"We really need to make top lane worth something early."

Kinda thinking there was a simpler way to do this.

but what if they use it on a botlane and finish the game from there, the botlane is already struggling with dives

Oh man, don't worry about that, bro. Supports have quests now, dude.

That would basically be putting your own adc behind because you've ended their laning phase before they could really farm up enough.

really worth it if the enemy inhib gets destroyed by 20 mins lul, then u can simply rotate to nashor and there you go an easy win!

you can CC it and its damage goes down when you take its health lower

the worst thing about this is that now I'm going to have shithead junglers bothering me sooner

but few people know how you can deal with it yet.

i got rift herald in my last 3 games, and each time an entire lane went down, lol. teams arent used to reacting to it yet.

you take down your lane opponent or force him to recall and just push straight through to the inner turret or the inhib before they know whats happening.

What a time to be one of the 2 Yorick players on the planet (Jk, I think there's at least 100). Grab this baby, drop my ult, just sit back & relax.

its amazing. im having so much fun with yorick.

people tend to underestimate his early game as it is, and i often win a fight at lvl 6 and get a turret with the maiden. i dont know what my rate is, but i get turret first blood a LOT.

but now its rift herald on top of that.

I'm waiting for people to realize the top laner doesn't need it anymore and that the jungler can take it with them for a 4 man gank bot.

It's squishy as heck when summoned... but yeah it's a good thing. I really like enhanced recall and soloing him with cho'gath XD
