Riot: The community wants you to know, we want turrets stronger, not weaker.

Title.

Am I right?

Edit: I appreciate all the attention this issue (and my thread summoner 21 ) is receiving. I would like to respond generally to some of the comments.

1: "I'd rather have them do more damage than be stronger." ----- I actually meant "stronger" in either sense. Higher damage, higher HP, more armor, what-have-you. The community clearly wants turrets to be more meaningful and difficult objectives. Exactly how they should become more meaningful, is widely debated.

2: "Speak for yourself, I like the weaker turrets." ----- I didn't create a poll, and don't have access to any actual polling data, but it seems pretty clear, anecdotally, that those who enjoy weaker turrets are in the minority. Sorry, friends. I posted this thread less than 24 hours ago and, as of this edit, it's the 66th most upvoted thread in the entire forums (33rd most in Gameplay). At this pace, it will eclipse the number 1 most upvoted thread in this entire forum archive in just 1 week, and that thread has existed over 4 months.

3: "We need smarter turrets with better aggro decision-making, not just buffs." ----- See 1. But yeah, personally, I think these turrets are dumb and could use some more IQ. The Alistar or Mundo turret-tanking-team-dives might be a cool play and all, but it just really seems more like an exploit than a tactic.

Riot: yeah but I don't think I've seen you in the LCS so we don;t care. Go buy some skins though, they are pretty neato.

I don't mind that they are easier to take down. What needs to happen is that the damage is increased 25-50%. Fiddlesticks can dive turrets since they are so underpowered right now.

Agreed. Tower dives are really easy to execute and if you leave a tower alone for a couple seconds then it's gone.

Correction: Low elo players who don't understand the game want turrets stronger. The ramifications of such a change never even cross their minds.
