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**

Meanwhile if rift herald is taken while bot lane is rendered completely useless and pointless. The problem is that this objective pushes snowballing to such absurd levels that you need to treat rift herald like a baron in terms of importance. It far far far out values dragon and the last several games I have played were just, "Who won top". Games were already snowbally but now...its insane. Inhibs down at 15 minutes every game now. I'm having consistant games that the enemy team almost wins pre-20 minutes. Two of my last 3 games we had lost our NEXUS turrets pre-20 mintues. That never happened before the fucking rift herald. Also, this isn't scrub-bronze rank this is in plat rank. If you don;t win top lane you will lose. Simple as that, there isn't even a need to try anything else. When rift herald spawns just make a play top and win.
