Why do champions like Yasuo and Tryndamere deal so much damage to turrets?

Why do champions with conqueror hit turrets so hard? I just had a match where i went 3/0 against Yasuo in the first 7 minutes of the game. Then i went back and when i returned to lane (roughly 34 seconds after my recall channel completed) he had taken off 3 turret plates with dorans blade, boots of speed and a dagger. Where does this turret damage come from? Not even Jax pushes this fast.

....Rather than hitting hard or not, the problem sounds like you left your tower a bit before a large enemy wave was pushing into it and Yasou rode that wave into your minions, killed them then crashed it into your tower and then just stood there hitting it while you were presumably shopping before running back.

Minions do damage you know? So if he had something like a double wave with a cannon and they were all just hitting the tower then its not strange at all.

He had a regular wave with 2 extra caster minions, one at 40% hp.

The reason i ask is because no other auto attackers can shred turrets that fast - not Jax, not Camille, not Fiora, not Trundle and not even Caitlyn. Yasuo and Tryndamere hit turrets uniquely hard, when their stats are no different from those of similar champions.

To be honest i think Jax probably pushes the quickest out of all those as long as he is able to hit freely, due to his passive.

Tryndamere and Yasou? Sure as auto attackesr with a dagger and some AD they´d make good progress but Jax stands out heads and shoulders above.

Your claim here makes no sense at all.

Early game Yasuo hits tower for like 40 damage a swing buddy, if he got your tower its because you left him there for way too long. He doesn't typically buy any AD until at least 10 minutes. Minions actually do much more DPS to towers than Yasuo does during lane phase.

Because they're AA-based champions. That's like asking why Diana melts your turret when she runs Electrocute.

since when does electrocute work on turrets?

I think you missed the point.

The point is the keystone is irrelevant because there's only one keystone that affects turrets (tempo) that you'll never use against a turret anyways since it requires hitting a champion first)
