Towers, Should they be buffed?

Towers, I feel like league of legends has some unbalanced towers. First the towers in lane are too strong. Second the towers in spawn are too weak. Please remember that this is my opinion (and possibly other's too).

If you look at the stats, Inner towers have 170AD and Outer towers have 152AD. But Nexus towers 150AD and Inhibitors have 170AD. Then why do LASER towers (like inhibitor and nexus) feel so weak. For example the outer and inner towers could take you down in an instant but LASER towers do almost no damage.

This is because the Laser turret only deal 27.5% of the turrets AD each shot. The turrets have an attack speed of 4.0 so each "shot" happens every 4 seconds. This means that it actually deals 41.25 AD every 4 seconds.(10.3125AD per second). Also in addition, when the outer tower targets a champion, the champion has little to no time to run. On the other hand if the inhibitor or nexus towers targets a champion, they can run easily by retaliating.

How to fix this In my opinion the Laser towers should be replaced or buffed. Some options are buffing the AD on the towers. If the League of Legends team remove the 27.5%damage and buffed it to 50%damage, towers would actually be a treat to tanks and other strong champions. Also I do believe that outer towers are a bit overpowered. If the Nexus tower was a little stronger than the outer towers, that would really give a new interesting taste to the game.

FEEDBACK If you disagree or think that my calculation is off, please reply to this discussion. I read each and every reply and try my best to take feedback. Also I am not a pro, not even a competitive player. I am just a casual League gamer that loves to have fun.

"First the towers in lane are too strong. Second the towers in spawn are too weak.... Then why do LASER towers (like inhibitor and nexus) feel so weak. For example the outer and inner towers could take you down in an instant but LASER towers do almost no damage." Because by the time opposing players encounter those towers, their champions are far stronger than what they were previously. Outer towers take you down in an instant (well three instants) because Level 1 is the weakest you can ever be in this game. Just take a look at one of those games where the entire team just kinda forgets about top lane and the outer tower is still standing thirty minutes in. The tower will be quite "weak".

"This is because the Laser turret only deal 27.5% of the turrets AD each shot. The turrets have an attack speed of 4.0 so each "shot" happens every 4 seconds. This means that it actually deals 41.25 AD every 4 seconds.(10.3125AD per second). Also in addition, when the outer tower targets a champion, the champion has little to no time to run." This is incorrect. That is not how attack speed works. You also forget to take into account that towers scale.

"On the other hand if the inhibitor or nexus towers targets a champion, they can run easily by retaliating." This makes no sense.

"towers would actually be a [threat] to tanks and other strong champions." They aren't supposed to be. How League works is that nexus is protected by inhibitors, inhibitors are protected by towers, and towers are protected by champions.

Towers aren't supposed to be the threat late game, the enemy team is.
