riot needs to sort out their game asap

Just played a game where we were up in kills, took first tower, top and mid were doing well, bot was even.

then they got rift and everything changed, 2 went top, 2 went bot, one was mid, and in one push while being behind they took

3 top towers, 2 bot towers,1 mid tower, and drag at 15 mins lol

this made us lose a game because towers are actually the most useless things in existence and rift does way too much, this game was over within 13 mins of actual playing time, i miss when games wouldn't even be decided at 30-40 mins, this game is just 1 sided stomps where both winning and losing aren't fun at all.

Your towers were just as squishy as their towers, why didn't your team push them back or kill one group and grab their towers? Rift Herald takes ~50% tower HP, that leaves 5 towers that were taken because your team didn't know how to handle pressure or position on the map.

never said they weren't as squishy, the point is the fact that its possible, you need to send 2+ to deal with rift and 2 champs, that leaves one lane out numbered so no matter what they're getting 2-3 towers because of an objective anyone can solo, its not cause it specifically happened to me, its because its possible to have the game be more or less over within 15 mins

Or you could have 5 man lane with Rift. And push all the way to their base.

You just need 1 for Rift, and any 1 champion with good wave clear can stall out a push because without minions towers die significantly slower. I've held towers 1v3 before because I've got enough wave clear.

Yes, games can be decided too early, but there was some serious misplays on your team's part to lose 6 towers off of the enemy team getting Rift Herald and splitting up.

I mean if you have a gold lead, and you weren't able to respond to rift herald, then that's really on your team for not being able to respond to it and letting them free open mid.
