Make TP drop from Rift Herald and also drop on death

Everybody knows TP makes top lane less exciting. If you outplay someone and get them low they can just TP back at full health. The ignite meta was the most exciting time to be a top laner because skill mattered in top more then any other lane. If you killed someone you'd be at a serious advantage. Everybody also knows bot lanes are sick of getting TP ganked all the time and having to play passive. There's nothing more frustrating then outplaying the opposing duo and then getting 4 or 5 man ganked. TP is the ultimate neutralizer during laning phase. It promotes risk averse play. However, later on it creates exciting teamfights. Wouldn't it be great if we could have 1v1's with ignite back, make the top side of the map more valuable, and still having exciting TP plays late game?

That's why I propose making TP drop from Rift Herald as a buff. Imagine having to genuinely choose between enabling someone with TP or enabling your team with the dragon buff. Bot lane parties would be gone. You could make the rift herald spawn at 10 minutes and give top and bottom a real laning phase. Top lane ignite would be back. Kill your top laner and get TP. Win the game. And late game teamfight plays with TP would still be a thing.

And to prevent one team from having TP the entire game you could make it so when the person who has the TP buff dies the buff drops! Then the enemy team could grab it. Imagine setting an ambush to try and kill the person to get the TP buff or an intense teamfight where the TP holder barely gets away. Or imagine if your ADC was the only one who could grab the buff. Now the ADC has to be creative and figure out how he can use TP. How exciting would that be!? And if you were concerned about someone accidentally grabbing it in a teamfight you could make it so the player has to stand on it for a few seconds. This would prevent accidental pickups.

Laning phase would be more punishing and feel more fair. TP would become a resource you have to use wisely. Junglers would have more difficult decisions to make. Teamfights would be more exciting. League would be better. Make it happen, Rito!

This seems cool.

Maybe some other changes to the passive too.

But then you have stuff like Panth and Shen being able to take TP and splitpush, ult to a fight, TP to lane, back, then TP back to the lane they're pushing.

Definitely more value tho.
