Make Turrets Translucent When In Auto-Attacking Range

Adstract·May 17, 2015·144 votes·6,005 views

I can't tell you the amount of kills I have lost simply because of tower's hit-box was completely covering some's character model. Seems like a system similar to Diablo 3 would work really well (I say Diablo only because I have played it). When terrain is interfering with your camera it is cleanly faded out of view, and in the case of League were it's not a static piece of terrain your removing, the hit-box could be moved to the base of the now "cut in half" turret. This would also not interfere with Spectator. Would also make CS'ing under tower a lot easier.

Edit 1: Really want to see someone from Riot respond to this, seems like most everyone is for it so far :D

I read the title as "turtles" instead of "Turrets."

Translucent Turtles sounds like a really funky band name to be fair.

You can actually hide traps so that they are hidden from view (notably Caitlyn's cupcakes). I think it's kinda funny, but others might not think so. xD

This same thing has happened to me a lot and I really like this idea. Would also help with trying to cs under tower.

I didn't even think about cs'ing under tower^^^

I actually got flamed by a scumbag jungler for autoattacking a tower when we were diving the enemy under the turret...and it was all because the dude was behind his turret and REALLY hard to click on. I killed him, but we forked a double kill to him as a result. Luckily we won that game, but the flaming (maybe) and death could have been avoided if something like this was in place.

Dr PoroMay 18, 20157 votes

+1 for all who flashed in just to AA the turret once while next to a 1hp enemy.

Summonerrr 1May 18, 20154 votes

It is problematic for trying to dive yordles when they can just sit directly behind the base of the tower and be unclickable. We need this not just to kill more teemo supports, but also to balance champions with the "hard to click" attribute.

IcyPepperMay 18, 20153 votes

but most importantly to kill more Teemo... supports.

Use the target champions only button, or a click near the target since it hits the target closest to your cursor.

bind the 'target champions only' button helps a lot

esc->hotkeys, scroll to 'additional hotkeys' find abilities and summoner spells, open that up and scroll to the bottom, its the 2nd to last one called "target champions only"

i have mine bound to the `~ key

Additionally, make the lane towers have at least one guaranteed shot if they target a champion, many times i have seen someone run just into tower range with low hp, snag a kill, then walk out of range and the tower targets them but does not fire.

MićaĆomlaDJMay 17, 20151 votes

Or you could use a command called Attack champions only...

Dr PoroMay 18, 20151 votes

You can use command for almost everything but I only have 5 fingers per hand and they're not as big as the hulk so all keys that are within reach are already used (I don't have a fancy gaming mouse with 20 buttons on it). I'm already having trouble finding a good attack move bind. Don't need more key+right click combinations.

SH AzykanMay 18, 20151 votes

put it on tab and put the scorecard on ~ makes it a lot cleaner to use and you don't need to quickly pull up the scorecard mid fight do you? :P

I have mine bound to my left mouse button. You just have to shift+click minions/monsters/turrets to see their stats. You can still left click the minimap and champions like normal. You can only do it by editing your input.ini (you can't do it in game)

GuiltyGeckoMay 17, 20151 votes

This would be a rather nice change. I've actually encountered this problem a few times.

I Main SwainMay 17, 20151 votes

yes please. im tired of trying to click to walk away and I click the massive hit box of the turret instead (cuz bad camera positioning) and end up walking into it for a 1v1

at least until 3 of their teammates show up :(

xGvPxMay 18, 20151 votes

Is it really the worst thing in the world if a turret helps keep someone alive? lol :P

1 WingMay 18, 20151 votes

actually like this. Turret's hit box is too vague currently.

Kosm1KMay 18, 20151 votes

Sounds extremely helpful and would apply to Riot's idea of "game clarity" +1 pls add to game Rito

MethranMay 18, 20151 votes

it's part of the strategy, just like a big champ can make u miss CS.

u have to play over it

Extreme TrollerMay 18, 20151 votes

downvoted. it would totally change the gameplay if riot nerf it. it's a super mega nerf to turret. Hide behind the turret is part of the gameplay sorry. it's the same strategy to hide behind alistar or big champion. If you nerf it tanks and turret will be totally unplayable.

Who said anything about tanks, and aside from blocking Nasus's q, I almost never purposely stand on top of someone, bad for aoe team comps imo, maybe I'm just ignorant :/

VesarixxMay 18, 20151 votes

Something more reliable might be to make them do this when you held down target champions only

Dies to WolvesMay 18, 20151 votes

I can't honestly say this affects me much at all since I can't even remember missing clicks on champions behind turrets, but I totally support this idea

Jesus is SaviorMay 18, 20151 votes

Use your "target champion only" button, and the turret will no longer cover the hitbox, because the turret will be untargetable.

You're welcome.
