A buff to towers: Projectile Break

SaltyToplaneGoat··1 votes·418 views

Towers are supposed to be powerful defensive points, yet... their presence kind of fades after the early game.

To enforce their defnesive purpose I herby propose to give towers the ability to intercept projectiles, such as Varus' Piercing Arrow for example, as well as basic attacks (basic attack damage goes onto the tower instead, imagine them to work like stationary Braum shields).

I see absolutly no drawbacks with this...

You mean to say that you don't want Caitlyn to be able to AA harass you as easily with no consequence while you're trying to cs under turret? You're crazy, man. But seriously though that would be a pretty interesting idea. I don't think it should block projectile abilities completely but maybe diminish the damage a bit. It would make sense...then again this is a fantasy game.

I rarely play botlane, so no comment to that xD I wonder when it was the last time I had to play aqgainst a Cait...

Anyways, for that to work I would have to position right, so the turret is right in between me and Cait (in that case)... I'm not sure you can pull this off constantly while also getting all that CS. Especially on botlane when you have also the enemy support coming at you...

Make towers do %current health to champions. And give garrison to the rift.

Right now, we have dota towers (towers that do no damage and have no presence) that are as thick as paper.

Indeed, that's the problem. While towers are not supposed to last forever, they are supposed to be objectives of highly strategical relevance.

A tower-empowering summoning spell you mean? Not good. Tower specific stuff sounds nice, but mostly falls flat in the actual game (who buys ohmwrecker, lol?). If you want to buff up towers, put it on an item, preferably item 3056 so it gets an defensive use...
