So just to review:
Inhibitor turret health: 3600 -> 3300 Nexus turret health: 3600 -> 2700 Total turret health loss: (3 x 300) + (2 x 900) = 2700
Maybe I sound crazy, but turrets were somewhat weak before and now the two turrets mentioned above have become even weaker. Can anyone explain to me why such nerfs where needed?
I believe it was stated that “hurr durr, ADCs nerfed, towers need to be nerfed too”, but this is a ridiculous statement.
Towers haven’t been relevant in diving under them in months, maybe years. They need to be fixed, somehow.
Well, now it's almost impossible to throw a game as 1 super minion takes down both nexux towers by itself.
Riot: K, team took one objective. Games Over. Just FF.
Riot: We don't know why the games becoming so snowbally.
Riot employs a random number generator to determine what changes they should make to the game.
wait. didnt they initially say they wanted to increase turret health with the regeneration changes?
they said they wanted to change turrets not to be able to regenerate to 100% anymore, but have stopping points at 1/3 and 2/3 health. in return they wanted to buff overall turret health.
no wonder i was able to literally stand there without minions and 1v1 an inhib turret.
Its almost like Riot is working to make league playable over 10 mins on a cell phone.

This was posted about 9 months ago, before all these tower nerfs. So the towers in this clip are actually stronger than what we have now.
And they actually still went through with these changes. Nice.
I've said for a while weak turrets are degrading gameplay to be snowballing and make turrets not feel like legitimate strategic objectives that have defensive value worth defending for their defensive value. Instead they feel more like arbitrary stepping stones on your way towards the nexus.
I started split pushing my way to victory before the tower changes, when I thought turrets were too easy to kill. Now it's just easier.
You might get faster games by doing this, but you rob the game of strategic depth by making towers increasingly trivial.
Riot:
I.
DIDN'T.
COME.
HERE.
TO.
PLAY.
HEROES.
OF.
THE.
FUCKING.
STORM.
Meddler wants league to be a mobile game, it's what asians play and that's it. Do yourself a favor and quit this rotting corpse of a game while you can.
Riot's goal by the end of the year is to make towers, be made of literal paper.
Turrets in 2018 LUL
Riot is trying to make the average game 20 minutes so the internet cafe peple who have a limited amount of time keep spending money on League
Riot doesn't care about the playerbase that built them up and made them successful, they care about the casuals that want to do quick stompy games.
It's harder to kill super minions than it is the turrets now.
Can anyone explain to me why such nerfs where needed?
Rito wants faster games cause 10cent (their main share holder) wants faster games
10cent wants faster games so asian (korean mostly) players would play more games per hour in internet cafees
Faster games = more games = happier korean players = 10cent doesn't give a crap about the rest of playerbase around the world

i dunno about you but i prefer games that close out in 25-30 minutes over games that last 40-50 minutes
Because LC$ games were too boring to watch so they have to nerf turrets so pro players can end the game faster.
