Anyone else miss the old turrets?

Because turrets are just living up to "dead weight" with every passing patch, only thing they're good for is stealing your CS early on now.

The reason i miss the old turrets is because the laser beam was always focusing the enemy champion and doing DPS and constantly rising, the bullet style is pretty slow, and maxes out after 3-4 hits,

the laser was far superior to the bullet style.

How are those the “old” turrets? Turrets were only like that for like a single season.

The shield and laser were nice but Riot probably won't return them. Most of the changes to turrets were to make games so much quicker which is fine imo but i'd much rather have strategic and long gameplay rather than snowbally intense gameplay.

It's not "intense", even.

It's just not fun. It isn't "gameplay" in any sense.

Oh, your top or mid fed hard while you were still in laning on bot lane? Too bad. Now you are just waiting to respawn as soon as that Yasuo is in vision range of you. No counterplay, no actual chance to do anything, you just wait for it to end because some idiot in the other lane fed the hypercarry du jour.

That's not gameplay, intense or otherwise. It's just no fun allowed.

yeah I liked the old laser turrets and how they did no damage

I could walk up to you, auto you, get shot by the laser for 3 continuous seconds, walk out of range, and lose about 50 health from doing that.

and that was playing a squishy with 1-2k hp.

also was cool how literally two nexus laser turrets mathematically/in-game could not 2 v 1 a single super minion.

was hilarious watching trick2g learn that these whereas previously he needed udyr to 1 v 1 backdoor turrets, now he could do it on a multitude of champions like nasus since they were so bad at doing damage that they were completely ignorable.

I miss the laser beam turrets (close to base) because it felt like it was more defensive (im not sure about its actual dmg)

The damage scaled higher every 0.5 seconds

If you think that go ahead and start tower diving the enemy champ at level 1. Yes, turrets need buffs but stop with this stupid exaggeration that turrets are useless.

The old turrets that Udyr could face tank and split push without minions? Even on AD build?

GelmousOct 30, 20171 votes

you got a link to a video where Udyr face tanking turrets with AD build, without minions ?

GelmousNov 25, 20171 votes

so are you going to provide a video evidence or should i take that you are just bullshiting ?

The turrets would be fine if they just gave you HALF the gold of a dead minion as long as youre within 500 units of it. I'd be fine with them being useless after 10 minutes then.

I loved how the old base turrets just pissed on you for tanking something you shouldn't be able to by yourself. And I mean literally, they actually pissed on you, now they just spit on you because they feel the irony.
