Towers are a joke, Just tanked one for 16 minutes with a somewhat normal build

Using the new practice tool, I decided to see how long I could tank a tower using Galio. Before the removal of the laser on base towers, I could tank an inhibitor for about 50 seconds. I decided to try again with the practice tool because how easy it is to test things like this now. I tanked an inhibitor tower and minions from 44 minutes to 60 minutes when the game auto ends. At the end I had pretty much full HP and 1/4 mana left.

Whiile I don't mind being able to solo tank towers forever (without mana being a factor), it is kind of a joke that a base tower does so little damage.

My build was which isn't out of the realm of possibility for a normal Galio build meaning I didn't build specifically to tank towers.

That's Galio. Pretty much the only champ besides amumu that can do that.

Towers are still a joke. You can dive at level 3 with the jungler, tank 3 shots, and live. If you build any HP the tower may as well not exist unless you're continuing to tank it after being CCd. You don't even need armor.

Did you not read the part that before the laser removal I could only tank them for 50 seconds and now I can tank them for as long as I have mana. They do no damage to me at all now. Any tank with a shield or heal can stand under tower for an absurd amount of time now. Nautilus Taric DrMundo Poppy Sion are the ones that come to mind.
