I wondering y is it that these turrets in this preseason are soooo useless. I have witnessed on numerous occassion turrets not even targeting single and alone enemy champions or when they do target them flashing breaks their targeting lock on. Riot plz look into this. Thank You it is become extremely frustrating that the turrets do absolutely nothing now except decorate summoner's rift.

i get that,however u are missing the point. For some reason i have noticed that the turrets are not properly targeting enemy champions. There should be no reason y when under a turret and someone dives u that they shouldn't immediately target that champ or if targeting said champ lose focus or drop d gunshot when said enemy champ blinks/dashes or flash away on 1-99 HP.

I agree. they nerfed the damage. and the range is less I believe. and their HP is less too. and the minions are stronger. its stupid. you get turret dived by squishies at level 2-3 lmao.

We are supposed to protect turret Not other way around

It's not that they are no longer safe, it's they are no longer targeting champions when they are suppose to. If you hit a champion with a ranged ability inside turret range, it will continue to target the minions around it. The turret will only target someone, from what I've observed, when they auto or do a melee ability. what makes it worse is that turrets are starting to break with just a flash, which is not what they were doing in season 5..

Maybe they made a LC$BIGPLAY$ detector in the turrets that makes the do less damage if you are doing a flashy towerdive. Even if the little guy under turret it's defending himself with everything he has.

Turrets were never intended to be a guaranteed safety spot. With that said I do feel they are overly weak at present. But that could just be me being biased based on what I am used to.

The turret is under our protection. Not us under its.

Their HP got nerfed a bit but their dmg stays the same as ss1.

So no, you're imagining things.

Is it just me or in patch 5.23 turrets have more hp and are generally stronger.

Have you tried not losing? You wouldn't have to depend on your turret and getting carried.
