Why the new reworked Rift Herald must be that powerful?

Am i the only one seeying how wrong it is that rift herald hits tower for 1750 true damage when towers have 3k - 3,5k hp? the avg game time will drop drastically at the cost of the game enjoyment. If u kill that badboy u won the game at 75 % ....

EDIT: Ziggs will be almost permabanned just think of it ziggs + lich bane + w + rift herald = insane push power in a matter of seconds.

Its damage scales with its hp.

it's still too much to hit 1000k+ TRUE damage on towers when they are already paper.

Yeah it does a lot on the first attack, but after that if contested it does a lot less. If uncontested it can almost get mid inhib by itself if there's a wave with it.

Note that that is outdated in a few ways.

Towers will prioritize Herald over minions.

Herald's damage will reduce the lower HP it is.

When she hits a tower with a headbutt she chunks her own hp too. Better be ready then, cause it's going live. Also better pay attention to the global screech of it dying since some time in the 4 minutes after that they have to set it down and siege. There's also a global ping when they release it to make it extra obvious.

It is actually perfectly OK. You don't get herald for free, your enemies could take a tower or other objective and pressure all lanes while you were fighting it. If she doesn't take one full tower basically for free, she won't be worth killing.

I agree that it makes game faster, but tanks should come into the meta soon, so without 3 assassins in each team game should slow down a good bit to equalize it.

Ya im not too sure how thats going to work when we are actually in game. Its basically going to require everyone to go where ever the Rift Herald is, which in turn will just basically make the enemy team go to where She is not. Seeing how She is located near Top, I wouldn't be surprised if they'll just try and push top. Which would be the best outcome since there is just one person top.

if u let enemy team to 5 man mid with rift herald on u will lose 3 towers in a matter of 1-2 minutes i find that quite ridiculous with the right siege comp u cant be stopped if u get rift herald early into the game.
