Please, Riot, speed up the turret projectile and attack animation

I'm not talking attack speed, just the missile speed. Turrets, among having so many other issues, are so easy to game. You can jump in and out of turret range before the turret can acquire you. Champions with invulnerabilities have a huge margin of error when dodging shots.

Increasing the projectile speed and make the attack animation fire faster.** It won't change the turret's DPS at all**; it'll just make it so people can't game them so easily.

It's a cute idea, but honestly not as appealing as removing untargetability vs turrets entirely. I find it hilarious that Jax can't dodge turret shots and Yasuo can't deflect them, but Yi resets his Aggro by Qing, Elise can Rappel onto nothing before a bolt hits her, and Fizz can Q in for a kill and E out.

And to think they used to be even worse

I like this idea.

If they speed up the animation that means that turrets will push waves faster and last hitting under turret will become harder. Which will suck for people who lane. I'm a jungle main and I can safely say that doing that will cause the game to become really fucked up because if turrets push waves harder that means it will be harder for my laners to freeze which in turn will make it harder for me to gank for them. Saying that increasing the animation speed and projectile speed won't affect turret dps at all is a lie.

Turret manipulating is a skill. If they can time the attack and go between shots, they should get rewarded.

For invulnerability, they are coded to be able to dodge turret shots. It's neither bug or unintended feature.

All they have to do is use the inhibitor turrets from Twisted Treeline. They can first faster and do less damage, but do more damage if a champion is the target.

Increasing projectile speed won't help with jumping into tower range and out before it can acquire you, but overall I agree.
