Ya know, I’ve been avoiding jumping on the “Turrets 2 wek” train this past season...

but holy fuck they might as well be made out of fucking rice paper, they’re toppled that easily now that preseason is around. The fastest I’ve seen one go down is by 7 minutes, and people all around are saying they’ve seen even sooner first turrets. ‘Tis a side effect of damage going up due to runes and buffs all around? Most likely.

Honestly, I don’t care for dives being “too easy” as many people also circlejerk around. I don’t want turrets to deal more damage (though I do want Inhib/Nexus laser turrets back), but I would like turrets to not be a complete joke and not go down so fucking quickly.

It's honestly absurd. Games where things get really snowballed (almost every game now it seems) I'm seeing two turrets down in bot lane pre 10 minutes. You know I'm all about the shorter games, but these 15 minute surrenders poppin up every other game is getting pretty boring.

7 minutes, you must be lucky. Half of my games since the preseason, the first tower is down within 6.

I gank mid at 6 minutes, get a kill, and the tower's gone from full hp. It's outrageous.

I was just playing yorick and I was facing urgot . I was 1/4 with urgot being dead and took 2 towers easily with that new rune and his Q working on towers

Same boat. I was defending turrets in season 7 because the average game length was perfect. But now towers are just sooooo weak. If you die in lane once it's rip tower. Pretty brutal

Factor this in with the new tank rune to bust towers, and you can play Garen/Nasus and have your tower down faster than a 3v1 on bot lane.

Wot, it takes you 7 minutes?

Jokes aside, with the right duo in botlane, if you get kills on the opposing laners you can nab the turret sometimes by 5 minutes. D:

Lethal Tempo tristana + Her E + Any kind of support buff like a janna shield or ardent censer = Instant tower shreds.

I shit you not, i've literally taken down towers and only burned 1/2 or less of my minionwave. One time, it took 2 melees. I think we may have a problem....

Just yesterday for me I lost first turret when everyone was level 4.

Jungle ganked bot and the 3 of them destroyed turret.

5 minute first turret gold, yay

The other day we had a turret down in 5 minutes, it just didnt even feel satisfying...

It's because every champion is buffed, deals more damage than they suppose to, gameplay is busted, broken, whatever you want to call it and you can tower dive at level 1 and not die. Riot instead of adding new things to the game, they fliped all the gameplay elements that were there, made it a new game (a trash game) with "the same visuals".

Been playing Sion support again and after taking first tower we usually take 2nd tower down to half at least before backing.
