I remember having a full health turret in top, the enemy laner wasn't fed, wasn't behind.

Bot was failing, so I tp gank bot, by the time I get back to lane, my turret has been destroyed by the enemy laner and a minion wave. Honestly, turrets have been bad for well over a season, why has riot let it get this bad?

They want LCS players to be more aggressive, nut these insane punishments for just 1 death make it harder and harder to play agro each season. Riot's still refusing to acknowledge that they failed and for some reason they think adding even more snowballing and punishment (Hello Rift Herald 2.0) will somehow incentivise them to stop rotating and trading towers and avoiding eachother early...

And it didn't even made LCS players play more agressive, as they are to scared to fight with how much 1 death can be punished.

They should just make separate patches for competitive.... We don't play the same game as pros do anyway since they always play on previous patches

I left my turret completely uncovered , tp'ed on the other side of the map and expect it to still stand when I get back 2 mins later

Who was your enemy at top lane? If it was, for example, Camille or Yorick, then it's actually totally reasonable that your turret got shredded.

Because they think defensive strategies are boring, clearly forgetting what tension means.

I highly doubt this. Unless you spent way too long in bot (30 second ganks mean you're going to lose turret), or were against one of the champions that is meant to kill turrets quickly.

Hey don't worry OP, riot has you covered for the next season! Now tanks can take towers in three seconds too!

turrets shouldnt fall under one minion wave, and also they should be much easier to defend, is not fair that in a 5vs5 the enemy still take your turret, it should count as a 6vs5 not 5 ppl trying to stop the enemy from blowing at their tower of cards

i watch bad players do stupid tp ganks like that all the time. Completely your fault for thinking you can just leave your lane without shoving it and not pay a price.

It probably took you 2+ minutes to get back to your lane.

Thats 2 minutes of enemy attacks and 2 minion waves crashing into your tower. The only way to have that NOT kill your turret is for them to add insane amounts of armor to the turret to make it basically impossible to take until the armor drops X minutes in.
