Do the turrets need to be buffed?

Just been a thought on my mind lately. It just seems like there's no penalty for people tower diving anymore after level 4. Especially if you're at half HP. If you see their jungler near you, and you don't have any defenses, they are just going to tower dive you, get the kill, then walk away with half HP.

This seems to happen a lot. And I was just wondering, do other people think the towers need to be buffed? So you actually double think tower diving someone is a good idea? Heck, I've gotten away with diving as Jhin at level 6, using my ult, get a kill, then walk away while under turret fire. It just seems they are under powered at the moment....

Or are they getting buffed, and I just haven't heard of it yet.

Todays LCS matches proved they have to be buffed... FNC destroyed 5 turrets, inhibitor and nexus in less than 30 seconds...so yeah...

They are indeed getting a faster damage ramp up buff. It punishes staying under tower for too long, but has little effect on quick ins and outs. The reason they are so touchy with tower damage buffs is the potential effect it might have on minions should it glitch out.

Half hp? I literally tower dived as a soraka and walked out with nearly full hp still.

Towers are garbage it says it has 4K HP but lets be honest you die ONCE and the enemy gets 5 AUTOS on the tower and it goes from 4K to 1K HP and who feels safe to cs under something that weak and garbage.
You die once in the first 10 mins of the game(LANE PHASE) and the tower gets destroyed the lane phase is over at that point for you.

I think the biggest issue with turrets is their kill value. Regardless of if turrets are weak or strong (they increase in power over time), they have a static gold value. This favors early turret takes where the gold given is more valuable to have (the value of gold depreciates as the game goes on). The gold influx of early turret takes has an accelerating effect on the game. It would make sense for early turrets to be worth less than later turrets.

I don't actually mind the turrets being relatively easy to kill, but i think they should do much more damage.
