Is Riot trying to make the average game 25 minutes or lower?

WTF is this crap?

First tower down at 6 minutes because bot lane got ganked?

IF you're going to make towers be a glorified cannon minion in terms of durability, just make it grant less gold overall so the snowball effect isn't as strong. At this point, it's a joke. Junglers are rather gank a lane real quick because if they get a kill off post 5 minutes, the tower will probably go down. The only time this is not true is with tanks who just don't have enough bonus XP to use demolish rune so early.

Otherwise, ever lane (ESPECIALLY BOT LANE), the tower is made of wet sand.

Congrats Riot, if you're goal was to show Blizzard how to REALLLLLY make towers weak, you have already proven you can do it. I'm waiting till you the next tower update where you give towers limited gun/shots so that you can claim that the following

1. HOTS towers fire faster, slow, and do more damage early, mid, and late game
2. HOTS towers are stronger, more durable, and many lanes come with 2-3 towers or forts
3. HOTS games are longer than LOL

CONGRATS. Almost there riot
