Maybe we should wait on Rift Herald?

With how one sided of a stomp top lane usually is and how short matches usually are. I feel new Rift Herald is only going to accelerate snowball and lead to greater frustrations. As a Jungle main I already have so much to worry about in terms of objectives. I at least had the comfort of knowing only about 3 champions could utilize Herald well.

Now when the most toxic, one sided brawlfest of a lane has a Riven bullying a Vlad, a Darius bullying a Shen, a Renekton bullying a Darius, a Pantheon bullying a Teemo. It will be amplified all the more.

To complicate things further the jungler already snowballing off of bot lane and invasions will have a lot of control over it.

Sure. I want top lane to matter. But I think we should hold off on Rift Herald until towers are buffed and matches become less polarized.

defensive itemization is going to be better for everyone in next patch

penetration and bork are nerfed HP is nerfed but mages have banshee, adcs have death dance, everyone is going to go for defensive items when behind just like previous seasons which made games not ending in 20 min

i'm confident for next patch that the average game duration will be increased, especially with item 1054 buff, for 400 gold you get an insane item that helps you in lane, if you died in lane after a gank you can still buy it and play safe

and assassins become even more useless feelsgoodman

Well then, you can hope for riot reverting their assassin update and not balancing assassins around fighting no-defensive-items adcs and mages

On the bright side assassins like Fizz and Ekko can abuse the new tank itemization!

I think there should be a team objective on top side of the map(Like dragon but maybe defensive stats or something like that).

Rift Herald is kinda boring and the new one is going to be too strong imo.

Here is an idea : Slaying Rift Herald gives bonus armor/hp to your towers (Didn't think about this,came up just now)
