Reminder that Towers are still garbage

I feel like the A.I. on the towers needs a massive redo. It feels dumb as rocks sometimes with totally random ranges. (Sometimes the ranges are WTF levels, sometimes it won't hit a champ in melee range when they're trying to shove some minions where the sun don't shine.)

Stat buffs to towers are all well and good, but if it were smarter, I feel like it would be stronger against dives.

I think they need to work on the target system. There's no reason it should be shooting the tank while is attacking me under tower and sits under my tower tanking 100 damage per shot while scratching his ass doing nothing.

Towers needs buffs. That is true.

I would also like to be able to last hit under tower as melee without getting CONSTANTLY damaged by .

honestly I think buffing the tower will solve almost all of our problems rn, I mean by making them stronger (maybe in the early game only):

• You prevent 4 men bot every 3 mins . -Random jungler dives without a munions crash dive is no longer possible. -You have a better chance of surviving if you are in a really bad matchup -The jungler won't ruin your lane just because he decided to

I Think the emergency is still nexus tower, they need more damage or they need to put back the laser thing, because now 1 single superminion can actually just fuck the game easily

Multi Target after a certain amount of time???

Nope, working fine. They give me lots of gold when I destroy them...wait. Were they supposed to do something else besides grant gold?

can't agree more, towers are garbage since season 3

The problem is that turrets have gone largely unchanged--in general design--for the entirety of this game. They're very uninteractive outside of a few quirtks with champs like Janna or items like Ohmwrecker, their ratio of damage dealt to shots per second/projectile speed/time it takes to focus between targets pretty much opens the door for the current status-quo of quick in-and-out dives, and the answer to all of this has mostly been number tweaks.

I'm in the camp of players that believe that the inner turrets once granting a passive shield was the closest thing to progress on this front, even if it was executed in a way that ended up being unhealthy given the climate of toplane in particular back then. Something like a huge AOE slow for something as little as 15% for x seconds, centered around the turret, when an ally takes a percentage of their max health in damage while in the turret's attack range--just so that players would have a tiny bit of an edge trying to make their escape while not invalidating gap-closing champs on the other team--would be realy nice.

Towers need more HP. I shouldnt have to worry about my tower falling at 5 minutes when I die to a gank.

I play Jayce, I build a , only armor item I have, 3 shots only do 10% of my health, huehuehue.

Is going to get worse with the new Rift Herald...

They just need to make Tower AI smarter to be honest. Too many times have Towers just ignored someone on occasion. I also think it's complete bull that a tower can target someone, but not fire a shot at them because they exited tower range. I think there should be a rule in place where if a tower TARGETS someone, at least 1 shot will be fired at them.

cant wait for new rift herald

IMO, the problem isn't that towers are weak - it's that towers don't change in strength enough as you get closer to the nexus or as the game progresses. All things considered, the strongest tower in the game is slightly less than twice as strong at the end of the game compared to the start. Players, on the other hand, can easily do ten times their starting damage by the end of the game - and have more than ten times the EHP, especially since towers have no armor or magic penetration.

People complain that the game is snowbally, that the first kills usually result in a victory. That's because there's nothing you can do to STOP a snowballing team that doesn't make an outrageous set of mistakes.
