Towers are pretty much useless after early game is over

They honestly just exist simply for decoration after that point

If you get behind, you can pretty much forget about having any sort of defense towards being dived by the enemy team in towers because tower shots literally tickle and there's nothing actually being done to stop the enemy team from mowing the defending team down.

Can we bring back the lasers? That continuously dealt damage and slowed whoever was being hit?

Or bring back the tower shielding mechanic and actually balance it? Something so that there's actually a risk to tower diving?

Seriously, towers are a shell of their former selves and need to be looked it, the snowballing in this game right now is honestly pretty insane

lvl 6 and onwards is when they become useless.

What I love is being poked out of lane early by something like Caitlyn Sona and my tower being destroyed before I'm half way back into lane.

Like why the hell do things like Caitlyn's headshot need to work on towers? We need to make towers a bit more sturdy not weaker.

Riot doesn't like long games because they feel people who attend games live don't want to sit through 3 to 5 45 minute games with 15 minutes between each one or whatever it is.

it takes time to down a tower. they are very strong as map control. they may not be very good at preventing diving, but, that's always been true past early game. even in the early game, tower dives have always been possible.

right now towers are pretty healthy considering places they've been at before.

I think it is better for them to have health based % dmg. Maybe like 8% of current health dmg as a bonus.

Yes, you understand correctly. I don't know why you bothered with the rest of your post because you got it all right just in the title.

towers have to be trash otherwise riot would need to rework item 3056 and no one wants that
