So about the Towers

Were they all meant to be paper? I have never seen a tower die so easily before. I know its important to clear the minion wave to up the towers defense but man do the minions like suicide into the tower to reduce it armor or something? I mean at least before minions seemed to be useful to tank the damage and increase how much you did, but now if they have minions there is no way you stop a 5 man focused on a tower in under 3s because the tower just implodes itself. The second the minion wave disappears though the tower is pretty much made out of adamant and laughs at everyone but an ADC for trying to hit it.

So many early towers now. It doesn't help that diving is even easier because the towers seem to do less damage. Except for the inhib towers which do less then start to melt you after they charge up.

Riot removed passive armor gain from the towers and flat out increased their health points. Unfortunately, the amount of effective health lost from the lack of mitigation stats far out weights the amount of health gained. Not to mention that champions can get much higher base stats from non-linear stat incrementations per level.

So yes, assume that the towers are paper for the time being.
