Can we make Rift Herald just a little harder to take?

Certain JGs (such as and a couple others whose names escape me at this time) are, at least if they get a little gold and items, are capable of soloing the Rift Herald. That's a little ridiculous considering it now spawns twice if you get it early enough, and more often than not, those like can just take it again after it respawns.

TBH, I never really LIKED the idea of the Rift Herald anyways. But the fact that it was weakened, at least somewhat to make up for the 2 possible Heralds is a start, but make it more challenging to take so it can't be soloed if the JGs got a lead.

???

Literally anyone can solo Rift Herald at any time. I'm fairly certain I can solo Rift Herald as Yuumi. I'll go test.

The reason it's not being taken on spawn is simply cuz it's usually not easy to just walk over and take it uncontested. It takes a second to kill.

Edit: Okay I lied. A level 6 Yuumi with only item 3850 and no combat runes can only get it down to ~600 health lol. So basically anyone except Yuumi can solo it.

I tried 3 times. I even tossed in item 3174 round 3. Still lost at ~200 health.

Edit 2: Aight if I sorta cheat and eat the nearby honeyfruit while fighting it, I can solo it with Yuumi.

It should be easier take on first spawn. And even so it still takes like 1 minute. Just prioritize wards on it

rift herald has always been easy to solo, especially with the vampyrism from the domination tree, as you heal from the true damage from its back.
