I love backing once in bot lane and coming back with no tower

It still blows my fucking mind when I back after shoving a wave in with my support but when we return, 1 push was all it took to lose the first tower.

At least Baron minions are getting buffed for the LC$.

You think that's bad? Top and mid towers are supposed to be stronger than bot tower right now, but they die just as fast.

I was going to upvote, but comments like this don't deserve upvotes. You didn't even wait for downvotes to happen before you grouped up all dissenting opinions into a single category. Seriously now, try to have a little class.

Honestly, if you shoved a wave in and back, it's almost impossible for the wave to hit your tower, let alone lose it. I'm smelling serious bs here.

I agree with this. I have seen a few games now where, all 5 lanes hit bottom early and take first tower in seconds. And with some of the early burst, half the time it isn't just peopel backing, but getting tower dived and not having to pay anything for it except maybe some cheap shield. Turrets need to be a little meatier early or ditch the first tower gold.

Can you give more info on the game? What was the matchup? did their jungler come? How ahead/behind were the enemies? How long were you gone when you backed? What was the game time?

It's time for more open minds toward supports taking teleport just to get their asses back into lane faster.

Wait so if this is true then why didn't you just take their tower instead then back?

an AFK Caitlyn with item 1038 item 1042 and auto attack on make a better turret than the ones we have now.

i was thinking the same. 1 jungle gank is all it needs for first bot tower. If not then double kill at bot lane. I wouldn't mind if this requirement was changed to 2 jgl ganks at minimum.

In this situation, you would honestly have to sit in fountain waiting for 100 gold or something. Or push three caster minions only. Like, what?
