Not another basic "Buff Turrets" Thread (but still a buff turrets thread)
Well not "buffed" but turrets do have 1 major issue, 3 man destruction.
Now for full clarity personally i am happy with the amount of Snowballing and gametime, sure there are shitty games where 1 champion snowballs hard and solo-wins the game, but for me those are pretty fringe cases. I have had WAY more comebacks and even games since the start of this year.
Also turrets are pretty damn strong right now, at least based on health and damage to champions early game. My only gripe being the percentage damage turrets deal leave my melee creeps JUST over 1 auto from death after 2 turret shots and its damn infuriating.
Back to the main point though is while turrets are strong 1 main issue still occurs. The bot lane both trades and both backs, 1 ADC gets a
and the other a
. Right when you get back you get double killed to a gank, and the jungler, ADC, and support 3 man your turret at like 5min.
This is a very VERY annoying occurrence that is quite often, but how do you fix it?
NOT BUFFING TURRETS
That is not how you fix the current issue, the issue is its very hard to get back to lane to save your turret and there are a few ways to fix this.
A. Respawn timers, It has been quite a while since our last respawn timer adventure and this feature should probably be updated more. It should directly reflect the speed of the game, which changes quite often. We can currently partially fix the issue by once again lowering respawn timers early game.
B. Rally Buff, a cool idea I had, remember the shield buff on your 2nd tiers? well it works similarly. It is a buff that increases your movespeed by 5% under all towers that arent your currently most distant tower from the nexus in each lane. In other words during lane as long as you are underneath your nexus, inhib, and inner towers you gain 5% movespeed (maybe more) This wouldnt fully fix the issue but would help in getting to lane faster, which also helps.
C. Increased Armor, Turrets get shredded pretty fast and while i said i wasnt gonna say buff turrets, this is the exception. In terms of damage and health they may be alright, but in Armor they could use more. With just that BF sword that ADC is gonna hit that turret pretty hard, throw in a
and its gonna melt. On top of that increased Armor at ALL stages would also help slightly in other stages to fix cases of some ADCs 6-10 shotting turrets, or just melting it in under 3 seconds (>.>

That is just my personal thoughts, feel free to answer the poll and give your own feedback.
