The problem with Rift Herald is risk vs reward

Think about it. Plenty of junglers can solo any of the dragons and gain a significant buff to their whole team, on the other side of the map is the buff that's only for one person, is temporary, works only when that person is alone, and has a meh buff when compared to the drake buffs AND is also the one that you need AT LEAST two people to take and even then you'd need a third to really feel confident about taking it without dying to it or the enemy team showing up.

Here is the buff Rift Herald gives.

• 5% damage reduction while no allied champions near
• Corruption: At 100 charges, your next basic attack discharges all stacks of Corruption, dealing 15-270 magic damage (at levels 1-18, damage halved for ranged champions)

Just ONE Infernal Drake will give your team 8% increased attack damage and ability power, for your entire team, for the entire game and can get even better later with more stacks. Why is the objective with so little power in it so much harder to take? Why even have a measly 5% damage reduction only work when not near an ally? The buff might mean something if games were usually near run things where a fight top could go either way and that tiny bit of help pushed them over the edge but with everything being so snowbally, a fight is always one sided with one side being clearly dominant, making such small extra damage or defense superfluous.

Dragon just gives so much more while also being infinitely easier to take, the risk vs reward needs to be addressed in some way.
