It seems by the 15 min mark they almost triple the DPS of Adcs, when damaging towers. Its a bit ridiculous, i get they should do some form of damage, but its beyond me that they should be able to aa the nexus down in 5 autos.
Succubús GF2 votesExcuse you? "Mages" don't do enough auto attack damage. Have you ever tried attacking a turret as
? It takes FOREVER. Meanwhile tryndamere takes down turrets and gives no fks
Guy Fox Teemo1 votesWhat are you taking about? Mages do massive amounts of damages to towers. They do it based on the amount of ap they have (40% plus something else I don't remember)

This is, in fact, a good thing. Riot is trying to eliminate a team's dependence on ADCs for pushing objectives. If mages did the same damage to towers as an ADC mid-late game, you wouldn't necessarily NEED an ADC on your team. It's a diversity thing, and opens up a whole lot more in terms of team comp and strategy.
The real problem is how pathetically weak towers are. Riot's philosophy on this issue is "towers protect you early game, you protect them late game". Well frankly that's a load of shit, because towers are like paper late game and might as well be a giant minion for all the damage they do. In other words, there's absolutely no reason to bother protecting them when you can just push down the enemy's towers instead.

sorry but no, while they do decent damage to turrets once they have good amounts of AP they cannot auto fast enough for it to be consistent. Damage to turrets is whatever the base AD is plus either 50% of whatever AP they have or their total bonus AD (whichever is highest).
Insidious1 votesIt's pretty funny watching a full build Kassadin with Lich Bane and 3 Mountain Drakes auto attacking a Tower and seeing it implode.

Brain Errör 4041 votesLol... you try pushing towers as a Ryze/Ahri/Vei/Syndra/Vel'koz. They don't have anything that amp up their tower damage, they don't build attack speed so their pushing power is absolutely pathetic. They don't do massive amounts of damage to tower, it's absolutely pathetic.
