Towers are actually useless

Actually, they should die if they stand there too freaking much. That's how things should work, not tanking more than 35 shots in a row and still have the same amount of HP they had since the very beginning because that's just ridiculous.

You are literally defending another version that has an equal disgusting view - That a tank can infinitely tank tower shots at the expense of nothing and since your reasoning is, in fact, Riot's reasoning to balancing towers we might as well not have a single tower in game and have inhibitors placed all around the map, after all, they withstand more damage than that "let's pretend I am dealing damage" simulator.

My point was your argument was based of ud being a tank, when he is not.

Not every champion can do this with 2 completed items + boots. I'm just arguing that in this particular scenario it makes sense especially since outer turrets are the weakest and Udyr is good against sustained damage.

But... why should any champion be able to do this? I remember when was a high priority pick for her ability to tower dive and lose aggro. Literally anyone can do it now, the only thing in the game not doing enough damage are towers

Outer turrets are actually the strongest, with them getting weaker and needing more time to scale up as you get deeper into the base. The Nexus turrets for example, are individually worth about 40% the stats of a super minion, and one single super minion, if not obstructed by your minion waves, can take both nexus towers by himself before both towers focusing him will kill him, as in the last few years they gutted those towers, removed their 75% armor pen and slow, destroyed their stats, killed their attack speed, oh, and made all towers do 30% less damage to siege and super minions.

It used to be the way you are describing about 3 years ago, for what its worth. Towers have received repeated chain nerfs, and damage to towers have received chain buffs since then. For example, magic damage to towers is literally over twice what it was three years ago, as the AP ratio on champion damage to towers was originally .2 AP and now its .6 AP, or three times as high, with the additional fact that magic penetration as well as armor penetration both apply in flat and % form to turrets further increasing damage. More abilities like Yorick Q can be used on turrets, minions auto push and get super buffs just for your team having taken more towers and/or having higher average exp, and well, turrets have lost thousands of health, even some resistances, as well as damage, AND had their time scalings cut as well in either damage, health or resistances depending on which tower you're talking about, with some losing base values and stats over time for all three.

It's an outer turret, they scale until 7 minutes only. He is obviously fed and as such, over-leveled. Finally, he has a kit that allows him to mitigate sustained damage and synergies with his item build.

Would you be shocked if a fed Mundo tanked that many tower hits with his ult ?

Honestly, yes I would. Diving a tower is supposed to be risky. And even if it is an outer turret, the amount of time he is under it for is absurd. Yes, he should be able to last under that turret for a good while because he built somewhat tanky but a full minute is not okay. Towers have to mean something so that if you play a champion with good cc and the enemy screws up during a dive they are punished for it.

Bruh they fucking start scaling at the 16:00 and the 8:00 minute mark for their resistances and damage respectively, and aren't done scaling up until the 30:00 minute mark. You have no idea what you are talking about.

It could've been a typing oversight, I often screw up grammar and occasionally fix it later, but thought I'd point it out anyway for clarification.

I try to avoid being rigid in categorization, since I support alternative playstyles, and disappointed riot has been quietly reducing them; anyway it's a fallback if you're counterpicked, or a way of surprising an enemy if they expect the obvious. I wouldn't describe it's crossing a line but more as a gradient triangular graph, with assassin, skirmisher, and tank as the points. Juggernaut being between skirmisher and tank, diver between assassin and skirmisher, and vanguard between assassin and tank. With bruiser being in the middle of the three extremes; fighter is a generic term for any melee champion so I won't use it. Where they fall in the chart I'd say depends on a handful of factors; mobility, durability, damage, crowd control, and utility. Bruiser being the most flexible of the seven types, and the usual go-to label since items and runes shift the champion a bit on the chart. I could go into more detail about each if you'd like but it could be quite the ramble.
In this setup I'd say garen & udyr would be divers; as they can either be brick walls or dangerous duelers, yet lack the conventional sudden mobility and immense damage to quickly bury an opponent, nor have multiple crowd controls to play as bodyguards or manipulators.

What's your excuse?

My personal opinion is that outer and inner turrets should stay as weak as they are, but inhib turrets should be stronger, and Nexus turrets should respawn.

Usually, defending against an enemy siege is way too hard. Once you're on the back foot and the enemy is in your base, you've already lost. Defense should actually be made plausible. I personally believe that champs in their base should have a minor but still effective buff to help defend.
