The Rift Herald Change Is Going To Be So Broken
Correct me if I'm wrong, if so, I'll delete the thread, but.... On Surrender@20 there was a tiny section regarding some fucked up Rift Herald changes.
Now you may have overpassed the small section cause it's incredibly small when you got all these mage changes, and the elemental dragon changes.
So basically from what I was if my eyes aren't seeing anything is that the Rift Herald is going to be a 1 time buff. Not only is it going to be a 1 time buff, but it's going to last over 20 minutes..... On that player.
This is what I read if there wasn't a typo.
Why is no one talking about this? This is a huge change and makes top lane with Rift Herald a huge priority, basically now Rift Herald is a must do, and becomes the single most important objective for how good this buff will be. 20 Minutes, even after the top laner dies, think about that. 20 minutes mini baron buff on your top laner.
"Rift Herald We’re pushing to make Rift Herald a more unique and meaningful objective for those looking to dominate the top half of the map. This new Rift Herald should be a more contestable objective with a clearer purpose: long-term selfish power for one team member - especially a lone-wolf or split push character. Rift Herald now spawns at 6 minutes and never respawns Rift Herald’s stats significantly increased (should be much harder to solo) Doom’s Eve removed and replaced with a unique Superbuff: Lasts 20 minutes and persists through death While alone, you gain some damage reduced vs. champions and build Corruption stacks At 100 stacks, your next attack discharges all Corruption to deal bonus magic damage (works on almost anything, including minions and towers; damage is reduced for ranged attacks) Corruption stack rate and discharge damage scale with champion level Hopefully this excites top laners, junglers, and some mids. We’re keeping an eye on it to ensure it’s powerful, but also contestable and not too game-ending. "
Riot, please do not go through with this. You can't be serious.
