Rift Hearld

Right now the only time i ever see teams bother to take rift herald is is they are ALREADY become unstoppable and they have no other objectives to take.

its frankly too hard to take right now and gives so little. it should NOT be harder to kill than dragon.

if im on a jungler in a bot game and im 12/0 with 10k gold at 15 min, I SHOULD BE ABLE TO SOLO IT!!!! the risk of taking it in a real game due to the amount of damage it outputs and its tendency to reset itself for no reason because of aggros switches... frankly makes it only viable to take if u have ALREADY effectively won the game. and they just cant surrender until 20.

i mean everyone remembers https://youtu.be/EO3ZihORTsI

I don't necessarily mind the fact that you can't solo it, except that the buff you get will only affect, one member of your team.

So as a result, it becomes difficult to find someone to help you secure that buff, if they don't even get anything out of the deal themselves.

Also, the current buff is kinda meta dependent. It basically affects lone wolf, or 1v1 split pushers more than anyone else. It was fairly useful in the LCS when split pushers were the top lane meta. But since CotC came about, that meta shifted towards true tanks.

yeah but there is a difference between "not becing able to solo it" and needing to bring 3 team members to kill safely

i mean sure u can take it down with two team members, but both of you are going to be near death. meaning unless u have full map control and enemy even CHECKING can get an easy double.

attempting to take it is not worth the risk unless u are already FAR ahead and don't have any other objectives to take.
