Buffing Towers Would Be A Bad Idea

I can't believe no one looks at the cons of buffing the towers of giving them way more HP and damage.

You guys do realize certain champions would become so OP if you were to buff towers? Champions like Gangplank who is weak in the early stages of the game and thrive on late game scaling. Buffing towers would give these champions more time to become so strong. Basically if you got that champion on your team now, you win.

Games would go on longer, and not everyone has the same amount of time to just sit there and play. I'm sorry, but I don't want hour long matches, and actually matches still go 30+ minutes normally anyways although I do see the advantages and downsides of the new respawn time which is stupid but the towers themselves should not be buffed. LCS would be even more boring and more farming than ever before as if it isn't already. (Thank you NA for somewhat being entertaining and not a complete farm fest).

Do you guys really want a champion who is strong late game to have that strength secured? They could just farm at the turret forever, and have TP whenever they need to go get something and be back in lane. Sorry, but I don't want to have to deal with a level 18 fully itemized Nasus with over 1K stacks every fucking game 1 shotting everyone because believe me, it would probably happen if you were to buff these turrets by a good margin.

Turrets that are strong would make diving useless as its a thing, and strategy and a good number of champions can dive now and such, but I for one don't want to be 1 shotted by a turret

This post is the reason this season is garbage. I want to be nicer but I simply can't. This either has to be satirical or you're just being ignorant.

So hypercarries being unviable is a positive of weak towers?

As far as game length, if people who had less time would play Twisted Treeline, the shorter version of SR, Riot would be forced to focus on it. Then you'd have a shorter game length that's still fun, without shafting everyone else that actually enjoys this game. Not to mention games didn't last any longer when towers were stronger...they just weren't decided as early. Games end about the same time now.

So your only real excuse for not wanting towers buffed is because you're afraid of Nasus? Never mind that if he were ever that strong, Riot would nerf him for having the audacity to compete with an ADC late game.

Diving was still a thing in other seasons. You just couldn't deny someone from participating in a game as early as level 3...
