Turrets and Their Lack of Protection

It started with Lazer turrents getting their slow removed.

Then Mid tower got it's shield for allies removed.

Then Lazer turrents got their armor pen removed.

Then outside turrents got their shields removed.

Then armor for turrents got reworked to the point it is now.

Towers have turned from something very dangerous to something that can be dived by literally anyone. Recently ive seen people get hit by a tower shot at level 3. Barely took a 6th of their health. Level 3.

It's getting out of hand.

More specifically here and here and (i cant find a patch notes to the slow section but i did find a board post here .)

Edit: It doesn't help that Riot buffed the base AD of most of the AD champions that everyone complains about. They got compensation by having a lower AD growth but still. That doesn't matter when games are ending pre-level 18.

towers are basically cardboard cutouts with slingshots attatched. they get torn up by anyone and everyone in seconds, and hardly hurt unless you let them hit you in the face for a minute.

they need more resistance (a LOT more), and VERY slightly more damage to champs, not much, but like 20% more.

Yupp. They are ridiculous. They make no sense or make much of a difference (even if it's just against minions) because of the armor changes specifically. It's like riot wanted everyone to play their new hugely buffed ADC in the preseason patch (where base damages were buffed on most, if not all, ADCs).

They're just objective piggy banks that put points into "snowball my entire side of the map" bucket. You need some strong and long lasting CC to use on someone tower diving to keep them there for a few more hits.

The way towers are right now champions like, Tryndamere , MasterYi ... etc, can take out three turrets in 1 minute.

Shutting them down in lane doesn't matter, all they need to do is keep running top lane and pushing. If your team can't win a 4v4 you basically lose since Jax will be at your inhib tower before you can wipe their 4 man and make any significant push.
