At the defense shop, you can spend gold to upgrade your defenses.
Want minions to do more damage? Check
Want better towers? Check
Want Higher Nexus/TowerHealth? Check
You can spend gold to upgrade minions in each separate lane. Select one tower that you would like to upgrade damage/health to. You can upgrade all lanes and all towers 3 times max.
Thoughts?
Khell DarkWolf2 voteseh, I get it and see the appeal.
But if its tied to the gold we earn from creeps and generation then all I see is something another feature being forced onto the support.
"Support! You got gold you don't need! Spend it to help us while I buy my big ticket damage item lulz"
Maybe if everyone earned a currency that was different from the creep gold at the same rate that can be spent on it, like silver serpent coins is exclusive to Gangplank.

The hard part would be making it feel active to the player and the enemy.
Zz'Rot and Banner of Command come to mind.
Elite4Runner2 votesLets talk about this for a second though,
Would you necessarily want "stronger" minions?
Part of your ability to effectively control a lane does involve your lane being able to push to you. Ganks are more difficult to accomplish when a lane is always shoved. It actually becomes easier for your enemy to safely farm minions when they are pushed to their tower.
So you would need to be careful as to how you would want to "strengthen" your minions, and it may even be good to incorporate a drawback.
For example,
If you make "Armored Minions", meaning that nothing is different about them aside from their ability to mitigate more damage, then a full minion wave vs another 'non-armored' minion wave would result in a nearly constantly pushed wave.
Logic would suggest that dropping a ton of armor on a minion would weigh it down, and in turn slow it down.
Eh??
DarianEX1 votesis this tower defense now? with like monkeys and balloons?
ItsOrval1 votesYeah, monkeys sold separately.
Elite4Runner1 votesHow about doing something like this as a champion's passive, or ultimate?
The champion grants allied turrets and/or allied minions buffs that increase in strength depending on their level, or the level of their ultimate.
This would be a pretty strong ability, so I would expect them to be a support or tank, or just a not very offensive champion in general.
Elite4Runner1 votesAlso, consider if this buff only applies to turrets and minions that the champion is near, or if it would be a global buff

Seasoned minions! Flying minion wave! Summon the Frost Giant!
