I noticed that the new season will remove the lazer mechanic from the inner turrent making them attack like the outer turrents. I'm not sure why this change is happening. It always felt like these turrents are stronger and need planning around while removing the lazer would make them weaker/more diveable.
Plz share your reasoning and opinion. Much appreciated ^^
CrazyBear19877 votesI'm on the fence about this.
on one hand: I dont like the lazers, i understand what they are going for, but the counter play will always be wait for minions, or beef up to tank the damage.
On the hand: I want the towers to be more efficient to avoid tower diving with minions around.
Have additional mechanics to defensive towers:(not all of course, just some ideas)
just some ideas, Turrets should be feared until ready to take on.
dapositiveviking1 votesthey took away the slow from the lazers so i donut know why they'd think about adding it in a different iteration
Spoofghoul2 voteswell it could be a wave which give a short decaying slow 0,5 seconds, like the 
but the laser made you perma slowed which made diving someone in a 1v1 near impossible at times allowing them to defend with very little health at low risk which wasn't too healthy
Vhan87656 votesSomewhere along the lines of League history, tower diving became a skill and not something to avoid.
I remember back when taking 2 tower shots would basically destroy your health bar no matter the champion. Now'a days, an ADC can take like, 4 tower shots before having to back off. Where's the protection?
The removal of lasers just furthers this silly notion.
MunchCrunchLunch4 votesi've seen adc's kill turrets from 1/3 hp with no minions around
you can solo turrets with no minions around from literally 70-50% hp. shyvanna is one of them. xin can do it.
The Deckowner1 votesanyone with a bunch of ad and attackspeed can do it, towers getting cucked by champion despite dmg reduction is actually absurb.
MunchCrunchLunch1 votesjust get a triforce. a bunch of armor. steraks. and u can 1v1 turrets lmao.
The Deckowner1 votesIKR, tower diving is super easy too, I had times where I strsight up ignored 2 towers and chased down an adc as volibear and came back basically full hp becaise the towers do jack shit.
MunchCrunchLunch1 votesa teemo can tank turrets and live to tell the tale
The Deckowner1 votesa devil can tank turrets and live to tell the tale

Nameless Voice1 votesWe added lazorz in a world where those turrets were also tankier and had some other distinctions that have gradually eroded over time (because they weren't fun or didn't make that much of a difference). We figured out that the lazers themselves were causing a performance hit at least on some machines, so we evaluated whether they were really worth preserving. We weren't convinced they were making a huge difference, so the lasers went away. Do you miss them?
LostFr0st1 votesQ: I noticed that base turrets on the PBE don't fire lazorz anymore. Could we get some context on that?

Stronger? wat? The turrets with Lasers are so weak. People dive them all the time.
Erractic Eick1 votesI do like the Laser Turrets. It felt like there was a difference in the otherwise monotonous objectives. The laser turret starts slow, and then will ruin your day. Nexus Turrets heal. Tier one turrets provide a shield. Tier two turrets provide protection for the first five minutes of a game.
Oleandervine1 votesThe laser turrets, IMO, we're the weakest turrets in the game. They killed minions way too slowly, and for being base defense, they weren't that punishing on enemies which they were targeting. Normal turret fire chunking your HP was a lot more of an incentive to get out of the turret range to me.
The Space Cowboy1 votesNew: Cannon Turret. Does high single target damage with small AOE.
Lord Darkmore1 votesWhat I've noticed is that it takes much longer for the new nexus turrets to kill super minions. For example, if you were to use a Ryze ult to tp two super minion waves from mid lane to an outer top turret, those super minions would most likely (if left alone) kill that turret and if not would chunk them down to very low but if you were to tp two super minion waves from mid to an old inner bot lane turret, that turret would most likely kill the two waves. My concern is that it will be much easier to end now and much harder to defend. I am worried that there will be no last minute saves or turn arounds because the new nexus towers can barely hold their own against super minions. I'd love to hear what you guys think.
