Does Riot need to do something to buff these? I've seen the lazer turrets attack tanks for what seems like an eternity before they decide to get out. I also have no issues walking straight in and fighting under them. I think they need to be buffed a bit.

actually heals with W under lazer turret
Yulen Xoshxius4 votesThat seems beuautiful to me.
captainkaiger1 votesI did that several times, and I gotta say it was hilariously broken. The turrets lower the damage and armor of splitpush champs like Jax and Trynd, but this doesn't address the Nasus who has been under it for a minute since he's built healthy. I've literally seen a Cho'gath sit under a turret just to absorb damage while the fight goes on around him.
Cindikle18 votesWhat if instead of lasers they become telsa's.
Overall doing the same thing but the damage can chain out. This damage will always prefer minions.
This makes them a threat because they will clear waves faster, requiring you to act fast at attacking the tower. And if you don't have minions it could chain on to a squishy.
iamthegoatofwar1 votespoints THIS...Is a great idea rito think about this.
B1naryB0t1 votesInteresting idea, but I feel like that can ruin the idea of a tank tanking for the team while the team kills it, since the tank really isn't focusing the damage towards themselves, just being another one to take it. Maybe I would say do that, but for each champion it bounces to, the next one receives a third less damage or something, so that tanks still actually feel important.
Cindikle1 votesIt doesn't have to do full damage. But this does make it a threat. It is also possible to set the second target yourself by making whoever you want to tank the second damage go in behind the tank. And the team can rotate champions as needed. There are many ways of dealing with this.
Also as I stated, it the bounce would always target minions first, no matter the damage enemy champions do.
The idea is that it makes it possible to defend the tower, and a threat for diving it. Neither one really exists now for the most part.
Zushakon1 votesI really like this idea! It would make the inhibitor towers much more valuable and dangerous.
Visigoth6 votesOnly time I'm afraid of laser turrets is if I'm using them to try not to get dived by the enemy. Because lets be honest, if Zed has 400 hp, he can still get out of the nexus turrets before he dies after bursting someone.
Lord Dusteon3 votesThe main problem is that the outer turrets do one powerful shot, then wait a bit before a 2nd. This ends up having a kind of tower burst, although it also has weaker dps. The lazer turrets have extremely tiny damage to begin with (nobody is afraid of the 27 damage lazer late game), but ramp up to extreme damage. The problem is, unless someone stands in the lazer for 10+ seconds it's not going to ramp up enough to be worthwhile.
WingsofGulgazor5 votesmayby they should make the laser do a bit of initial burst damage?
Brenticus122 votesYeah, maybe it should do the same as the outer turret as it focuses onto you, revert damage back to the initial 27 or wtv and then start ramping up from there.
AmazingGoat3 votesThought I would chime in and note that I am way more scared of outer turrets.
disregardable1 votesFirst tier turret needs a fricking nerf. That attack speed is too OP.
TheKingDodo1 votesJust restore regen on inhib and nexus towers. The slow on the laser is good enough utility to ward off 1v3 tower dives. Though nexus tower damage/defence can be buffed quite a bit. 1 super minion wave is enough to wreck both towers.
IamTribulation1 votesIt's a sure loss if you're vs'ing a baron powered wave of minions vs 3 champions: Sure death.
What's the point of a turret if it can't protect you? Better just let the enemies reach the nexus directly, as those towers are just some Hp structures waiting to fall down. Me no gusta.
PrinceOfStorms1 votesJust buff the laser turrets to attack 3-4 times per second. Then it'll ramp up pretty quick.
Auz the Ripper1 votesI don't know, that slow is almost mildly annoying
MattAkhavan1 votesi would be more afraid of 1st turret than lazer turret too. level 6 when you are at 1st turret and 16 when you are at lazer.
Guineasaurus Rex1 votesI think it's the fact that you get to slowly watch the dmg happen and it feels like you have more time to react because you're watching your life slowly drop. Where as the outer turrets chunk your life so it's okay not bad, not bad, not bad, ah shit better b cause i don't want to get chunked again.
Well that is how they make me feel.
