The reason towers are so weak, and how to fix them

In season 4, towers had a buff that gave them a ton of armor and magic resist at the first minutes of the game, to make seiging towers early harder to do, since beforehand, 5 adc mid was a popular strat, and it worked far to well. I dont see why riot removed this from the towers this season. The towers die faster than the champions almost, and just adding this back into the game would make them much more balanced.

...No, they didn't. Riot added a buff to towers in the first 7 minutes that makes them take reduced damage. After being added it was never removed.

My guess is to make the games end faster, but I think that's pretty relative anyway.

They are weak because they don't scale well. The moment any champion gets some health and a few more levels then towers become irrelevant as a damaging threat. I think on the plus side it encourages players to treat it as a thing to defend around that time, but the downside is that they become less and less of a reliable tool for safety.

In addition, those laser towers are a joke.
