What if, the new Rift Herald completely changes the adc bot meta.

Hear me out. According to a rioter, soloing the rift herald is quite difficult since he deals big damage and is tanky, but a rioter stated killing it with two players is very easy. Since one attacks from the back and deals percent max true damage to it.

So what if, adc's/support start going top lane in order to quickly contest and take this rift herald which will help them quickly push towers, while top laners go bottom lane, and with their jungler can easily take the dragon while top lane is focusing on the rift herald.

What do you all think?

I like your thinking.

On the other hand, it might just become a top lane party instead of a bot lane party.

Maybe it'll lead to TP being taken in bot? I think its more jg +top though, just to spice up the "island" of top lane. Its going to be interesting to see if top laners start taking smite as well, due to only the person getting the killing blow getting the buff and how it could easily be stolen by the opposing jungler.

This worries me then, because poke/squishy supports get the short end of the stick once more because there is no way they could tank that thing.

Duo mid, Solo side laners. XD Double TP or Assassin/Split push meta with Ignite. Grants control over both Drag and Scuttle.

They did say they didn't want to just flip the map with this change. MAYBE Duo mid is how Riot wants to change it. Not saying it is just a thought that popped into my head when reading about they new Mob.
