towers are still toliet paper despite tower plating

i feel all it did was speed up snowballing yet delaying the end. if only if stuck under tower and cant last hit you should have Passive coin regen increase per missed minion under tower grants 4 or 3 gold while cannons are worth 1/4 their gold value if killed by tower. that would encourage a comeback worth stating. meanwhile tower plating just encourages hell to be raised later (160 per plate) plus its still toliet paper by the time you recall and get back to lane 3 or 4 plates or broken so yeah towers are weak.

i rather let a tower fall then to protect it if it cant handle a few champion/minion hits despite being full hp. personal opinion here towers do nothing while baron or infernal/ocean does hella lot more then a tower who cant tank a minion wave with 1 champion. i think towers need a resist and/or hp boost.

change my view if im wrong in any respects.

They said they'd be nerfing towers a long time ago. Plating isn't to give them survivability, it's to reward those who constantly push the objective.

Exactly. So why do we have towers if plating just nerfs them further income wise. Or if riot wants short games make it 1st tower= gg explosion. The tower helping passively giving gold 3- 4 per minion would help those under tower.

Through the introduction of turret plating and some other adjustments, Riot successfully lowered game lengths and increased early gold flow, which creates additional acceleration into the mid-game and invites more action. In doing this, they crucially did not create a game meta where the first 15 minutes were more decisive than desired in determining the game’s outcome.

im sure your opinions are more valued than statistics taken from hundreds of thousands of games

actually a tower granting a junkload of gold despite the fact its supposed to delay laning when in fact all it does is delay the end on the crushed side.

im sure losing your turret at min 6 was a better alternative

actually it is. if the point is to torture the laner despite being crushed then its working really well at least when someone is stomped into the ground at least the game can end before 10 mins. short and painless.

Yep because lets face it towers dont do anything except give them a gold lead and is a large ward that shoots bullets. After like 100/150ish armor enemy will be like tower what tower?

Elo don't matter due to towers not doing their job. If a tower wants to fall so early I say let it fall it did nothing to deserve my attention. Now baron or infernal or ocean is way better than a massive ward. That's probably worth 3 control wards worth of vision in terms of range. That's how weak towers are.

Plus I'm not the only one thinking towers have no real place in the game since all its doing is promoting snowball. Before report laners now. In 2019 it's report tower for inting enemy team gg tower to dumb to focus enemy.
