#1 It takes too long to kill #2 The buff is ok, but it just isn't strong enough to warrant taking the time to take down rift herald #3 You need at least 2 people to kill it #4 There's more value just going for drake on the bot side or sieging/diving a turret
Something needs to happen for rift herald.
The damage is low on proc lets be honest. If it hit at least like thunderlords maybe more would care

I agree with everything except number three. It is perfectly possible to solo Rift Herald as someone like Tryndamere, Master Yi, or maybe Yasuo. I've personally solo'd it as Tryndamere quite a few times.
But yeah, I agree. The reason I had to solo it is because no one on my team cared enough to prioritize taking it (and because I was fed enough to kill any two fuckass bitches that tried to stop me, I can't do it in any given game) and, tbh, I don't fault them for that. It's actually a little bizarre that a buff that benefits only one person is much harder to take down than one that benefits the entire team. I wouldn't say Rift Herald is stronger than any drake except maybe ocean drake depending on team comp, yet it is so much harder to take.
Luckily, plans for changes have been confirmed by Meddler.
It's like getting a free giant sheen proc. It's a great thing on split pushers who can chunk a turret or enemy down a lot.
