Do people undervalue the Rift Herald?

Granted it's for only 1 person. generally better on the top/mid than jg most of the time

but I try to make it known when i'm playin for example that I really would want rift herald as its a huge spike in damage for assassins. I also get items like and together with herald to deal an insane amount of burst with Gunblades active + e

Making it auto proc thunderlords and chunk squishies for about 70-80% of their hp if you can catch them. if they survive use the passive to finish them off. it goes with what he does best. Single target executions. (imo anyway.)

anyone elses thoughts?

My MMR is only like 1,100 on normals and I literally never see any one kill him.

I always thought Rift Herald was pretty valuable, but every time I mention it in game my team always disregards it. It is fairly tough to kill and since marksmen do extra damage, that could mean leaving bot empty for a bit longer than wanted...

Rift herald takes so long to kill now that it makes you feel really vulnerable getting your health low and being exposed in the river. It also takes away opportunity costs around the map. In the same amount of time you could gank a lane and take a tower. I think if it had lower health it would be in a good spot
