Rift Herald Discussion

So the newest PBE update has Rift Herald spawning at 10 minutes instead of 6 minutes, and spawning with 119 AD instead of 147 AD.

I don't have a PBE account but considering Xypherous said that the changes to the jungle are aimed at "suppressing" farming jungles, I'm guessing junglers have a lower amount of XP overall.

With these changes Herald is not any faster to take, you just run a lot lower risk of dying if someone comes to contest it. But I still think the main reason people don't take Herald is because of how long the top laner has to spend helping you do it.

It's an interesting team based objective but the risk doesn't properly match the reward. ((By which I mean any reward short of winning the game is rarely worth giving up a wave of XP and inviting the enemy top mid and jungle to collapse on you for a double)).

I think Herald should be retuned into something a jungler can solo. Right now you can't even trade it for dragon because the enemy top laner can zone you away from it by himself.
