i want to keep abusing that shit. the fact that the buff works against turrets aswell makes it only more hilariously broken.

youre actually giving me an incentive to pick up runic affinity for it.

I hadn't thought of that, lol.

Well played.

Shouldn't it theoretically be a lot less powerful than the original buff? The original buff was almost Garen-teed global gold from being able to take towers, how does this one fare against that?

the original buff was a weaker version of the baron buff. i think minions dealt more damage, and gained extra range but were as easy to clear as normal minions.

depending on your opponent this meant the buff wasnt necessarily that good. (if he had a lot of waveclear).

the important point is that it was a lot more limited, not persisting through death and only for a couple minutes.

do you have any idea what 5% damage reduction does on a tanky top laner? and that shiv like passive aswell. it basically guarantees you win lane.

20 minutes on that buff are insane.

you charge it up, hit the turret, charge it up, hit the turret etc. it helps you almost as good taking down turrets as the old buff, while having extra benefits.

i... i. i just had ocean drake 3 + rift herald buff.

holy shit that was amazing. 5% damage reduction and 10% missing health every 6 seconds in combat.

i actually thought the 20minute rift herald mega buff thing was a joke in the patch notes, guess not. cant wait for that rift herald buffed nasus to tp bot and kill us all and 3 turrets

no, no. it was definitely not. i dodnt know what they were thinking tbh. but you can imagine how strong 5% damage reduction are on a jugg or a tank. so since these are the champions i prefer to play, im not complaining.

it gets even more ridiculous when you have the luck of getting a couple ocean drakes.

good luck taking down a garen with 5% damage reduction who heals 10% missing health (+spirit visage and runic armor bonuses) in combat every 6 seconds.

i dont think i felt this strong in a long time.

too bad i couldnt experience the elder dragon buff on top of it. i might have been able to solo baron.
