Making Turrets More Useful

Hey there. As many of you are aware by now, turrets are just nothing but gold caches at this point. I miss when the turrets didn't die in just 30 seconds (or perhaps even less than that) if the enemy have just a bit of damage. Although that may sound like an exaggeration, it's really not. This has been an ongoing problem since quite a while now.

Riot has done nearly nothing to at least alleviate this problem at all. Instead they made it worse. If you even leave just about a 10-15 minion wave pushing against your turret, it just gets damaged for so much.

Yes, this is probably at the players' fault yet at the same time, it's not as the turrets just...dies. Turrets can't deal with Baron empowered minions, turrets can barely handle with a rather small horde of minions...What good are turrets anymore in this game?

Here are a few suggestions I had in mind:

• At least make turrets just a tad bit more durable.
• Make champions' presence around the turret they are trying to siege matter unless X champions nearby the turret, the damage taken from champions is increased by Y% and likewise if there are not X champions nearby, the damage taken from champions is decreased by Y%.
• Make it so that it does a small line of AoE (Area-of-effect) laser if its HP drops at perhaps 60% so it can actually deal with hordes of minions and make it so that the enemy don't just stand there mindlessly hitting the turrets. Just like the turret active you can use in Nexus Siege but at smaller scale ().

In all honesty, I just want turrets to actually feel more than just gold caches. Thanks for reading this as this has been on my mind for a rather long time.
