Lane phase is still ending extremely fast
I feel like if you wanted to extend the lane phase, you're going to want to increase the HP of each plate by at least 500, or you're going to want to add an additional plate and make it so that each tower has 6 plates. Only took 10 minutes to destroy an enemy turret in an even lane where the enemy jungler was ganking us and killing us.

tl;dr: towers are weak af
