Swap Drag and baron pits?

Was thinking about this

there is so much incentive for jg to just stay inbetween mid and bot lane, since that's the place where as a jungler you should have the most impact on the game.

AP carry? Most likely gonna be in Mid, maybe also in support role ADC? Down in bot Top lane? Usually someone too tanky to solo carry, or someone too squishy to 1v4.

In additiion when you do gank top lane, theres a good chance you're trying to gank a darius who's just gonna slowly walk away, get stunned, keep walking, heal himself back up, and not blow flash after you unload a pounding on him, or a garen, or a singed... top laners are generally tanky enough or have good enough disengage to just negate ganks from most junglers

simply mathematics, it makes more sense for you to spend your effort shutting down enemy bot lane and mid lane than it does to ever really go top.

So why not put dragon to the north of mid lane? this would reduce the clear time of drag, and rift herald is just better on an ad carry, I think i'd see more ADCs rushing for it than i would tanks.

This would essentially spread out the action on the map in early game, while also encouraging more roams from mid lane and bot lane, and a bit more participation for top lane

adc and support would just go top lane then

^ is correct, their needs to be a change for balance of Rift Herald being worth in order to make teams feel which is better to go for with drag or Rift. Right now dragon is just too good compared to Rift.

Maybe make the rift herald buff be permanent like dragon buffs are

cant comment on that aspect of balance because their are too many macro factors to consider

It already lasts for half the game at the very least, and often times most of the match. Making it permanent would probably just make it contested more often and wouldn't be a game changing thing especially if you can trade a dragon for it

You can have a huge impact on other lanes if you roam and TP well. TP shouldn't just be used for getting back into lane

Rift herald only does half damage for ranged + you only gain stacks when you're alone
