Legit dumbest thing ever add in the history of LOL. We already had an issue with snowballing now it is the most ridiculous thing ever. I just had three games in a row where the top lane was focused they went 0/3+ the enemy team got rift and then inhib with absolute nothing we could do to stop it. Bot lane doesn't even matter anymore and we can't even do shit as we watch inhibs fall at 15 minutes. If we leave lane to defend it takes so god damn long to kill herald (because mid top and enemy jungle all guarding it) that bot lane enemies take outer and inner in bot lane as we try to defend. I'm done with lol right now till this shit is fixed. This is unacceptable levels of snowballing. Riot you have fucked up royally here. Remove this absolutely unbalanced feature or find a way to fix it. I will not return until you do.

Dunno if you noticed but when his eye is open any basic attack deals about 33% HPMAX true damage to the walking rift herald.

Don't know if you noticed but when you try to get behind the rift it puts you in range of dying because the mid top and jungle are waiting there to kill you if you do. Also, they normally put it down just after getting a pick so you're a man down. (honestly you would have to be a bronze scrub to place rift at a bad time) I don't know what fantasy world you are living in but the new rift is not healthy for LOL in any way. Also, I play bot lane so yeah I gotta recall and go defend while the enemy bot lane can just leisurely take bot towers because rift is so fucking over powered that it requires THE ENTIRE TEAM to defend against it. The only possible way you would ever like this new rift herald is if you are getting wins because your team got the rift herald.

Well, start looking for another game to have fun with then, because Riot is not fond of removing it's changes :)

Good bye.

Fine. I hope LOL dies if this is the direction it is going. I've been a loyal player for 4 years. I honestly liked most changes and they often fixed things that were unbalanced. However, this drive to push snowballing in their game is disgusting and not enjoyable. Every day I am hating this game more and more. To have games so decidedly one sided pre-20 minutes is the worst gaming experience of my life. I have never had less fun in any game I have ever played then the ones I just played that involved rift herald. people can say there is counter play and to a point there is, however those counter play option fizzle when intelligent players use rift herald at key times. If they get a pick for example. Even if you manage to defend against it it still takes your entire team to do so while they only need a few to just protect it's back leaving (normally) the bot lane free to take multiple towers. This has legitimately been the worst experience in LOL I have ever had. I often enjoyed games I lost just as long as it wasn't complete stomps but now...its every game. I feel there is no more control for me in affecting the games out come. I don;t care if this is correct or not THIS IS HOW I FEEL! If this game makes me feel this bad. I'm done. I'll give riot time to fix this crap of feature because they often do but I will not play a game that makes me feel like shit for playing it.

You are the kind of child who decides if you can't have the toy, noone can have it, arent you ?

I think you need to stop pestering the guy. You ever heard of Bayonetta hate? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gilsv3c4-7I People have pride and honor. They want to feel like they earned their win. They want to feel proud of themselves and not that they didn't have a chance because their ability to fight back has limited options well the other has infinite options. Comparing say jinx to jhin spells give him a ton of aoe wave clear with 4 shots of his ultimate that miss or hit it's 4 chances - 1 His kit also helps prevents him from ganks with invisible bombs that slow and remove edge of night. People say Kalista is a big example of this. However every hop she made she could mess up and misposition herself. Thus High risk high reward, well in the current meta. Low risk High reward. There's no reason to play certain champs if you aim to win games because your only less likely to win no matter how good you are. Champions are carrying players not players carrying themselves. LeeSin And as far as rift herald goes it's probably gonna see some changes, However it only helps enforce the low tier junglers out of the jungle and the fastest clearer's to have a direct advantage over them in jungle control.
