Turrets seem to do ~100 to 150 damage for the first two shots. That's nothing. Turrets aren't scary at all. You get a mobile champion, jump under turret at level 3, stand there for 4 shots, then jump out and you're golden. It's just sad.
"But we have to keep increasing the pace of the game for more #LCSBIGPLAYS!"
Seriously, turret damage is god awful. When I see squishy ADCs, mages, and assassins tanking turrets time after time and still getting alive it really becomes a problem. No one is asking to make turrets god tier, true damage, indestructible machines of death. We just want turrets to actually be a threat, because at this point the only time turrets are actually useful at deterring dives is for the first 5 minutes, which is god awful if you ask most people.
Riot wants faster games , they encourage flashy dives, etc. I hate it!! They are focused on ESPORTS and LCS scene and they want people to watch all those flashy dives. No one loves long game when someone sits under turret and is safe. I miss old days...
Turrets are placeholders. Most champs are actually more durable than turrets late game. They can go down in less than 5 seconds; some champs can solo them without even a minion wave.
I've seen people take up to 12 turret shots and walk out with 40% hp uncaring. Riot keeps trying to add more damage to the game/ make quicker matches - but they havnt stepped back to see how that affects main game components.
I like how your hypothetical person being dove always just stands there and doesn't fight back or kite or CC the enemy or anything whatsoever.
The thing is turrets become ignorable after you get 
which, especially on top, can lead to some BS dives with current meta junglers and toplaners like 
and 
.
At level 3, 3 tower shots will nearly kill you.
So that's wrong.
However, at lvl 9... you can take like 5 tower shots without dying as a squishy lol
I seriously hate it when someone 1v1's me under my own god damn tower when I am full health. That isn't even fair and shouldn't even be allowed in the game.
Yeah turrets are a joke now. As an ADC main it's frustrating. ANYONE can dive me and pop me before a turret gets a 3rd shot off, and even still it takes 5+ to kill them. It's ridiculous. They're basically just there for gold now.
What if Towers were actual defence bastions? Something like:
This way you could actually hide behind your Tower for increased protection, at the cost of not being able to harm your enemy. This would increase the outplay potential that the defender has on the diver.
They need threat that isn't just damage, because this game currently has a lot of damage mitigation.
This is a nothing argument. You are ignoring the existence of other champions who can capitalize on the damage you just took.
You are ignoring how much health champions have.
You are just whining and saying you are right with the most flaccid reasoning possible.
I feel you. Just 2 games ago I have been dived by an Elise at level 3 and managed to snare her under turret.. I walked away but so did her.. Without minion wave :/
I'm fine with turrets doing little damage. I just wish they were more durable than soggy cardboard.
its not the turrets its the champs that have the ability to cancel turret aggro or when 2 people dive you usually they "juggle" the turret shots for a successful dive.
whats the point of having a mobile champ if they cant jump under turret at level 3 take a few shots then leave...
I understand maybe buffing the armor/hp of a turret but do you really want them to 1-3 shot people?
if you are campin your turret and the enemy laner is playing that aggressive then your jungler is 2 blame, not the tower.
It really sucks late game. Late game, those turrets are the only thing keeping them off your nexus, and if they are not scared of it, welcome to snowball city.
Towers are just mapdecoration at this point.
Sucks to play a tank and have an enemy dps laner disrespect me by just ignoring me for 4 seconds, taking half my turret down, before finally autoing me to take 1 or 2 shots so he/she can back out and heal it off minions again.
Time to bring back Fortify
