Turrets desperately need to be A LOT stronger
Tanks are already incredibly depressing to play against. If you play a mage or a hard carry, you basically tickle them. the only class in the entire game who can deal with tanks are ADCs and thats unhealthy to me. it creates an environment where you better hope they dont just instagib your ADC because if you do and they have tanks, that fight is lost. base damages are insane, but thats not what this post is about.
the post is when these tanks are diving laser inhib turrets and being CC'd under said turrets for about 5+ seconds and still getting out alive EASILY.
this last game was the classic example. I was lux, its 20 minutes in and I HAVE to defend my inhib turret. i have no choice. can't just give it up. theres a tank renekton (full tank) and maokai (spirit visage/rod of ages) so they are fed, but only gator boy has armor. maokai went magic resist. so he only has around 87 armor. they know they are ahead so they decide to push for it and dive me. i have a janna with me and she immediatley monsoons the maokai who rooted me. i get stunned by gator, but at this point maokai has been taking laser for about 2 seconds. i then double snare, and walk the other way. knowing i wont escape to fountain i desperately run to wards the lane in hopes the laser will kill them. i place my E slow field down and make them walk through the entire thing to get to me in top lane. this slows down maokai so he keeps taking laser for about another 4-5 seconds. in the end he tanked the laser for at least 6-7 seconds and he took damage from my ignite, my Q, my E, and i ulted just before he gets to me. my ult lands, pops my passive. he is 20% health and I'm dead. I'm tilted beyond belief. what else can I do? i'm kiting. I'm keeping them under laser for 5+ seconds and a maokai who built no armor is just tanking a turret for ages AND myself. please note at this point I was fed. I had a void staff, nomicon, and ludens. I stomped mid lane. so it wasn't like I myself was behind.
this kind of situation is commonplace.
tanks are overwhelming right now, and your turrets don't save you. nothing saves you. you know what saves you from tanks? being a tank yourself. having tanks on your team to deal with their tanks. if you dont have tanks on your team, you pretty much lose by default. and in the past the idea of "gg no tanks" was only a bronze mentality. it wasn't true. if you went 5 carries, it was "risky" but you could get them if you got good flanks on backline. now the tanks just deal too much damage, your turrets don't save you. and damage itemization is just shitty as fuck vs tanks.
what is being done about this? im so tilted and upset at the state of the game right now.
