Unpopular Opinion: Towers are Buff as F***

But champions are too strong for towers to properly flex. I'm pretty sure that "towers being too weak" isn't actually because the towers are weak at all.

Let me explain. With all of these damage buffs that we keep giving champions damage seems to keep increasing every season. With more damage= faster tower destruction. I really do think it is as simple as that. I remember a time where adc's would build tank items to get survive-ability. Well, now they just build damage with more damage. Maybe the real issue is that we keep asking Riot for "faster games" when really we should be asking for slower games.

Riot can't buff towers without making the game last longer. Riot can't nerf damage without making the games longer. So please stop asking for faster games, and then complaining that towers are weak. Instead complain that champions deal too much damage.

The boards isn't one person though. I agree that everyone does too much damage, but that's also the reason towers are too weak compared to champions. Also, a lot of champions recently gained bonus damage to towers. I mean champions like vayne used to not have the q do bonus damage to towers. I think trundle earned it too. MF also does bonus damage to towers too.

Let’s not forget that they added app ratio damage, armor pen now works on towers, they let things like ziggs bomb work on tower. They keep buffing champs to do more and more damage. That’s why towers die so fast.

Yeah, that too. There's also other damage creeps on champions that contribute to it that you mentioned.
