  • Enemies will hear an audial cue when the eye is crushed successfully.

Patch History[]

Patch 8.24

Can no longer be activated during combat with non-minions.

This is a quality-of-life improvement to stem cases where players reflexively try to use their trinkets (ward-hopping, maintaining vision on an enemy that ran into brush) while they've got Eye of the Herald.

I BLINKED : Eye of the Herald now goes on a 3-second cooldown during combat with non-minions


Patch 7.24
Enemy awareness improvements around Rift Herald

ONE CHARGE REMAINING : Pinging Eye of the Herald in your inventory now messages its remaining duration in team chat


Patch 7.10
Enemy awareness improvements around Rift Herald

AWARENESS : Added a chat notification for the enemy team indicating which player picked up the Eye of the Herald


Patch 7.9 May 4th Hotfix

BUGFIX : Fixed a bug where canceling Eye of the Herald's summoning ritual at the very end of its 0.25 second wind-up (before the uncancellable 3-second channel begins) could cause the item to go on an extremely long cooldown, preventing it from being used before it expires


Patch 7.9
Rift Herald has new visuals, a new fighting style, and can be summoned to wreak havoc to turrets.

We always wanted Rift Herald to be a compelling objective up toward top, but she’s historically failed to earn her place on the map. So, we revisited the encounter and its rewards for midseason. With a brand new fighting style (but same lack of protective eyewear), Rift Herald will feel like a more epic fight. Once defeated, the big changes come into play. She is imprisoned in a trinket that can be crushed to summon her. Once unleashed, she marches down to the nearest lane, ignoring enemy champions in her mindless drive to slam turrets (and inhibitors and the Nexus) into little pieces until killed. So maybe try to kill her while you still have a base left.

LEARNT MY LESSON : Rift Herald won’t open her eye below 15% health
OUT OF THE PIT : Rift Herald can walk outside of the pit without losing aggro
SHE’S PATIENT : Rift Herald is more lenient towards swapping targets and leashing
GOLD REWARD : [50 (ish) global gold] ⇒ 25 to her killer
LEEROY At the start of the fight, Rift Herald winds up and charges forward, knocking aside enemies she passes through and damaging them for double her attack damage
ENRAGE At certain health thresholds, Rift Herald winds up for an attack that deals triple her attack damage in a cone in front of her
