As someone who just cleared every Tal Rasha tomb without triggering a Herald, I can attest to the stupidity of the situation.
Spent the past few hours trying to test something in SP..figured between endless free shards, /players control and everything else to "cheese your way there" it shouldn't be too hard to get a T5 Herald to test it with.
But nope, literally couldn't even get to T2. 1 single f'in ire in hours of elite zerging...
I have done extensive grinds for the last 2-3 weeks for heralds. I will say, I've been lucky to generate 3 ires before one shows up and have had 3 heralds in 1 tomb. BUT not a single charm has dropped, despite the Chaos. I think the charms are a little too tough to gather, and not in a "the grind is good" kind of way, either.
I've killed multiple heralds, multiple tiers... never dropped a single sunder... I literally grand fathered mine in from legacy. I found one of each within like a week on D2R... I just swap them around... the stupid renewal thing makes very little difference... it's just a gimmick.
They shouldn't be this hard to find... it's absurd.
You're honestly better off just creating a blizzard sorc or a lightning sorc on legacy and just farming them in Terror zones, making a mule, transferring them to the mule and then importing the mule to WotR.
Here is another thought I had today: Why not make multiple TZs per rotation? (we already had something similar with the Nights of Terror) E.g. in every rotation there is a "normal" TZ and a "boss" TZ with a fixed rotation from act 1-5 (Andy, Duriel, Meph, Diablo, Baal and so on). This way you can farm statues whenever you want, you get a least one specific boss TZ in a timeframe of 3 hours (which would really help casual players like myself ) and there is an increased chance for Heralds, too. If then there is also a realistic chance to get one or two T4/5 Heralds in one TZ rotation this would surely be an improvement.

So you want the FOMO-Feeling and chasing the half hours that the game drops in front of you?
Thinking about this, this is actually what you get on those modern algorithm pages as well. Consume what the algorithm drops in front you, don't spend time thinking about what you feel like.

Nope, just being realistic
What I WANT:
Curremt TZ setting as a general separate difficulty setting
TZs as a further step on top of that difficulty setting with better drop rates for items and runes (but essences, keys and statues stay the same)
Reduced drop rate for statues (I think they should be at least at 1/2 of Key drops, surely debatable) but you can farm them like essences and keys
Bring back the old Sunder Charms
Shards only for upgrading or for cubing to open an event like Colossal Summit where you are guaranteed to get a Latent Sunder Charm (it would be equivalent to the "old" and "new" Facets/Jewels)
Stackable items with max 999
But most importantly a new Cube recipe: Wirts Leg (2OS) with 2 Jah in it together with Harlequin Crest in the Cube transforms the green plastic bag in a Diadem. I would totally do that!
