I've seen a bug lately where if you weren't looking when a tower or champion is damaged, the next time you look at them the health bar will try and "catch up". This results in a moment of panic as your teammate or your tower drops a massive amount of health, making you think they're doomed and you should run away, when in reality you could help.
Yeah this can be incredibly deceiving. It's happened in every game I've been in too.
If a tower falls in the woods and no ones there to see it.. does it really take damage?
Same thing happens with Dragon, Baron and turrets. "Man that Jax splitpush is so op he just dealt 99% of the turrets health!"
Riot has REALLLY been dropping the ball latley....
I thought it was a new thing they implemented. either way it sucks and I dont like it.
#clarity
Yeah, I noticed this, a Teemo was attacking our top tower which had been full hp, and then all the sudden it had 5% hp left as the rest turned red and drained away. Nobody on my team had any time to react because the whole time we were thinking that it would be fine and survive while we fought mid. It is a really annoying bug. This happened a couple other times during the game, but that was the worst one.
I thought I was just dealing is a ludicrously badass melee minion earlier today.
When jungling, or just looking to gank in general, this is especially annoying, as I can't constantly be monitoring the health bars of all turrets and champions.
This is annoying me so much
This has been happening to me too.
I've had this happen a lot, I would have saved one of my allies once normally, but I couldn't tell what their health was and they died before I realized I needed to be there.
So that's why my ADC lost 90% of his health in a split second and I was ready to flash away from the monster that was able to do that!
one time I zoomed over to the bot inhib tower when a siege minion was there and it chunker about 75% of the hp from this glitch and I was like "HOLY SHIT THAT CADDY IS STRONG, NERF THAT SHIT"
I as well have noticed this, but I have confidence that Riot will fix this soon
Yea.This scared me. Alot. 
this has been in the game forever(towers not updating till you put them on screen) it just didn't have the hp drop animation. Previously if there was a jax splitpushing and you hover over your tower on the mini map it would say full hp until it was destroyed or you moved the camera to see it.
i love it
I've seen this also, the first couple times it made me say WTF, as I watch a teammate drop from 100-20% like they almost got 1 shotted.
LOL! i saw that
OMG YES! I have been in so many situations where i scroll to look at my ally and just see them lose a huge chunk of their life and im like "Oh hell naw!" while i run away, then i look and see it was just that stupid glitch. Turns out i could have helped them and it makes me feel like a crappy teammate...
Does the same thing to Dragon and Baron too, makes it harder for smite wars.
This is indeed annoying, but I wouldn't say I panic every time or anything. I kinda like watching the new, slow moving tower health bars melt slooowly :p
Come on rito this is important. @Riot fix it broskis and lady-skis
I haven't seen this happen :/
Is this intentional maybe?
Ikr. I usually lock my screen and once I check other people.. They have full health one moment and like 1/4 in a second.
Yup, this definitely needs to be fixed
I have seen this in every game too.
