New Zeke's Herald gives a clear advantage to duo-queue players
So the new Zeke's Herald is specifically designed for bottom lane partners who can coordinate well. Even RiotJag says in the post that you probably don't want to get it if you don't know what your ADC is doing.
But what I'm wondering is whether it's a good idea for RIOT to create an item that gives such a clear advantage to duo-queue players in solo queue. Duo queue players that tend to play bottom together already have an advantage over two solo-queue players because they are communicating through voice chat or prearranged pings. So do they really need the additional advantage of such a strong item that only works well through good communication and teamwork?
And yes, every bottom lane should try and communicate and coordinate but it's just not possible to do nearly as well as a pair that are practiced together and communicating with voice chat.
This item may be fine in team play but I think it will really make duo-queue teams hard to beat in solo queue. Do you agree?
