This time, it was when I was in combat chasing Xayah, so I just stopped in dead place summoning the rift herald and died, then lost my team our advantage because for some god forsaken reason, it replaces the most important mechanic in the game, VISION.
Sounds like you fucked up and got punished for it
Don't mess up next time. !
IMO it is actually a good design that it replaces vision. It gives a powerful threat of a push in a lane, but leaves you vulnerable the longer you hold on to it.
The main problem is the whole starting the channel mid combat thing, if they made the channel not be able to be started within X seconds of taking champion damage I think it would feel much better.
So... going from the title this is not a 1 time thing but a reoccurring issue for you? I'm not shure what to say other then pay better attention. You grab the eye your job to use it properly. If you cant, give it to some one else. Trade off for the pushing power is you lose some vision which makes it easier to gank your lane so its a disadvantage to hang on to rift for ages.
Or you could just summon it where the krugs are and the herald will stay there (if the krugs are alive) until you decide to free him.
I think that's bug exploit tho. (i've never done it but I've seen quite a few people do that).
