The new Rift Herald is Insane

Now im not claiming that the new Rift Herald is OP because it has not been released yet, but the video released showing it one shotting a tier 1 tower and two shotting a tier 2 tower is berserk.

I cannot imagine being in a losing lane top such as Darius vs Sion or something of the sort and just watching Darius walk from river and summon this thing. That has got to feel so insanely bad to just sit and watch two towers basically instantly go down pre 15 min and if you try and stop it Darius just kills you or you miss out on about 4-5 waves of CS.

Again, im not claiming it is OP or broken or anything of the sort but this combined with first tower gold being insane, and being in a lane dominant meta is just going to further push the notion that we can only pick great early-mid game champs who dominate lane.

They were trying to increase the amount of split pushing in the game to bring it back but I can see this will just be used to take double top tierr super early. Get the first tower gold, then proceed to go and 5 man bot some more.

This seems like it favors split pushing like they said they wanted but it actually favors early game grouping even more and pushing for first tower gold.

Not sure how I feel about it until I see it but I don't think it was a step in the right Direction
