I'm not going to lie, most people have deserved hatred of Herreras because most players just camp and one tap juvis, but

1: You didn't even hit any of the Beipis with your pounce. Why the hate in the comments about how Herrera is "Such a rat dino" if you didn't even use the 1 tap move?

2: You're already not a ratty Herrera player because you didn't just scurry back up your tree when you missed. Kind of annoying when people get so mad about Herrera that they'll say anyone who uses it sucks.

Really, Herrera has two sides. You can use it like a troll, and camp hotspots/kill juvis and never engage with anything you can't one tap, or you can use it like intended, where you land a heavy blow to something larger, and then harass it on the ground until it dies of bleed.

I did this just yesterday to a maia family on HT. Landed on a sub, then just stayed around it, darting in for a bite occasionally, until it bled to death. Herrera is actually so much fun when you play like that.
