"but rift herald does less damage the less health it has"

Bard to Believe··4 votes·524 views

oh yeah because right after grabbing a rift herald, top and jungle who took it are gonna be like "welp might as well back off and let it do all the work"

no, what's really gonna happen is rift herald will show, and top and jungle will show up to zone laners away from it until it can charge up on tower and take 50% of its hp in one shot.

i don't see any clear counterplay to rift herald other than getting it before other team does. this is gonna cause a TON of problems. especially so for premades vs randoms. even duos vs randoms will have a massive edge if they go jg and top because of the coordination

I don't remember seeing a limit to how long u can hold it for so basically if u hold onto the eye until u get baron the pushing power would be pretty bs

The eye used to summon herald if my memory is correct,has the short shelf like of 3 minutes. I get why just don't know how.

well there is 1 thing I 100% know will be in one of my games a yorick top and a morde bot with with some high damage mid laner and jg grabbing herald at the last minute along with drake then going for baron to push the living hell out of a lane

With that many things chances are only champs like Nunu could manage. though I am unaware if baron and herald go together....

They want to draw some attention top which is referred to an island. Iwouldalmost garuntee she'll be nerfed in 7.10/7.11

CC'ing the user before they finish channeling cancels the summon and destroys the item.

Rift Herald is prioritized over minions by towers.

She has a weak spot on her back (5 attacks to the weak spot kills her every time, so imagine how fast she'll die with that and other damage).

She can be CC'd.

Even if they dive you while Herald is under tower, she will never attack champions and the tower will shift to an attacking champion.

Even if you can't take it, you can delay it; she only spawns once per game and vanishes at 20 minutes when Baron spawns.

There's plenty of counterplay.
