New Rift herald is so overated. What is wrong with BOARD-ERS. Time to iluminate THEM
You have to put 2 Fking players there, risk ~20 seconds of being potentionaly collapsed
Meanwhile you ll have enemy jungler getting kills on the other side of map enemy toplaner taking minion wave and a tower. So yeah going for herald while no enemy is dead is ultra risky because non ll want to risk getting collapsed
Gold wise, tempo wise, exp wise you are better of leaching wave and taking a tower then spending time doing herald after you kill Few enemy players THIS IS A CATCH MANY People dont understand. Herald is just a long way of doing stuff in ANY high elo mind
If you kill a toplaner and a jungler. Would you rather take a herald with your jungler or directly take around 2 towers with your jungler ask yourself that. Well if you kill them both right near baron pit you might aswell do herald but thats the only time I ll bother taking it
For the same reasons mountain dragon is the most hated one. people in master+ elo dont care about it while other dragons are soloed early on because no jungler ll bother wasting time doing some shity drake which helps destroying towers when they can be applying pressure killing lanes and then take a tower instead of taking something which helps them take a fking tower. **KAPISH? ** Directly taking tower is also more efficient tempo wise. Your team gets gold faster, it opens up a map, denies vision
Inv AVG herald ll take 1.4 towers. Not a real statistic its my rough estimate juding from what I have seen by now
So yeah Boards but If I could choose I would rather take that 20 min Auto enchant Solo dmg reduction buff because its simply more efficient
Specially if you are Shaco who could proc it twice (Clone could ) Specially if you are yasuo who can proc it with Q Specially if you are Gangplank who can proc it with Q If you took old herald buff as a fiora / renekton you could mostlikely Get inh before 20 mins unless the enemy team felt like sending 3 people top all the time Even fking le bl clone could proc it.
BUT ON NO RIFT HERALD JUST RIPPED 45% OF MY SQUISHIEST BOTLANE TOWER BY BUNGEE JUMPING WHAT IS THIS CRAZY NINJA HAMSTER ALFA ZZROT CRAB THINGY WATAFKA RITO NERF PLZ YOU BROKE LEGO OF LEGOS
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA ITS SUPPOSED TO BE IMPACTFUL ITS A ONE TIME USE ITEM
Whenever I see someone saying new Rift herald buff is OP I instantly assume they are low elo and guess what low elo players are statisticly not that smart...
While we are at tower crushing ZIGGS SATCHEL CHARGE IS ALSO Healthy Fun tip you can detonate both nexus towers with 1 satchel YES IT IS STILL HEALTHY
** As far as I am concerned I am quite sure that the new rift is strictly worse and it ll be taken less after few weeks when they hype goes down**
