Another Buff Turret HP Thread

dude, at level 3, tryndamere and a few other champs, can easily chunk a third or more hp off the turret if you die for some reason. The turret only has 3500HP, and if you die, by the time you get back to lane, 1500-2000HP is chunked off if you did not happen to have a minion wave present for defense. I've been watching minions waves alone chunk turrets down about that as well. That is freaking ridiculous that Turrets are that weak defensively.

Later on, if the game last 30mins or more, any minion wave, plus or minus a champion, can destroy a turret in seconds. Seriously...Come on...

The big thing is the early game damage though. There is absolutely no reason any champion should be able to chunk a third or more hp off a turret at level 3.

It's gotten so bad, in many cases, if you die for any reason at all, you can pretty much kiss your turret good-bye if there is a champion in your lane. Bot both die? The turret is gone in one sweep.

You have to buff Turret defense.

We've gotten first turret gold in under 5mins in a lot of games.

Oh! That? No. That is not a turret issue, that is a minion issue. If you read the patch for 6.22 or 6.23 (Whichever was preseason 7) it said that caster minion damage is scaling while melee minion damage is set. As caster minions live in huger droves with waves, yes, they destroy turrets faster now. This address the wave-- that is on caster minions. Why did Riot do it? I believe they gave they excuse so supports do not take as much damage, if I am not mistaken.

As for the champions, then they must have some serious runes + masteries to do that much damage in the first 5 minutes of battle, because turrets have an item that reduces damage by 50% for the first 5 minutes of the game. (Yes, turrets have items).
