Just an opinion. I think you guys need to change Rift Herald again. The buff that it gives you doesn't feel really rewarding. I think you guys need to change it so it affects the whole team, not one player. I thought objectives were meant to benefit an entire team so... you guys might want to look at this. Also I find it pretty pointless that you give it so many defences but let us do like 3000 true damage to it if we hit it in the right place. But the main changes I think should happen to the Rift Herald are the buff that it gives, and it rewards an entire team, instead of one player.

So this is just an opinion, but I feel like Rift Herald needs to be changed again. What do you think?

Mini baron buff was op

new buff is just for some1 that is in front stomping better in lane. But the gold rewards are so out of control you dont need anymore to get this buy you better recall and buy items...

Maybe a + XX gold to entire team like old dragon would be a good idea

I don't ever see people get the Rift Herald and when they do, they're still useless. It's in need of a new buff that is also global.

Maybe a mini Baron buff is OP, but some gold and maybe a damage buff to an entire team would be nice.

The whole team is op for how early it can be done. It could instead be given to the two champions that dealt the most damage to it. Yi solos it? Yi gets it. Yi helps nasus take it? As long as those two did more damage than anyone else helping them, they both get it.

The problem with that is, what if a support, maybe Janna helped someone with taking the Rift Herald, but never intended of getting the buff. Then maybe the top laner arrives who really needs it comes a little late and the buff goes to the jungler and to the support Janna instead.

While that could be a problem, it seems like less of a problem than it being overpowered by giving it to the entire team. Hell, they could simply make it drop 2 of the little buff pick-ups for all I care. As long as it isn't a full team buff.

It should probably give something akin to an altar buff from Twisted Treeline. I agree that it absolutely needs to be something that benefits the whole team, rather than just an individual. As it goes, it takes about 2-3 people committed to taking the thing down (if you do it as 2 and you're found out, you're pretty much dead), and then you're only really assisting one person.

Riot stated in the past that a simple gold buff, like what Dragon originally gave, was not influential enough for the whole team, and gave invisible power in the form of 1500 gold for the whole team. If we had something like "everyone gets Cull passive for 2 minutes" or "everyone gets X% tenacity for 2 minutes", or -something- that gives temporary combat benefits, it would be a much more sought-after objective.
