You're probably using the rift herald wrong

So first off, rift herald is just as important as dragon. If not more important. Please start treating it like a real objective!

For anyone who has been watching worlds over the past weeks you'll have noticed most teams actually sack dragon number 1 in favour of rift herald. Not always. But commonly.

Rift herald does true damage. Towers gains resistances based on the number of enemy champions near by each time you take a plate (it stacks, and lasts around 30 seconds). If you gank top and get a kill then insta drop rift herald, you then need to take the remaining plates through the extra armor the tower now has. Ever wondered why your autos start doing about 15 damage to a tower?

The correct way (assuming you're trying to kill the tower asap) is to get the tower down to 2.5 plates and then summon the herald by the time it charges it finishes the tower off and you can base happy with your extra $$

I honestly thought this was fairly common knowledge but it keeps happening in my ranked games (high plat) and its annoyed me enough to make this post.

Correct idk why people csnt see its bad

I completely agree with this, jungles don't know when to use herald top properly probably because they only play jungle, and don't realise that keeping the enemy that is losing the lane in lane is hugely beneficial

Because they grant permanent stats rather then insatant gold which can be reaquired very easily

Almost like dragon is so much better than rift herald, when you say trading rift for dragon it's a down trade not an even trade

[not loaded or deleted]

If you can't acutally get a tower with it you should let it expire as you will just be giving gold and exp back to the enemy by summoning it
