So I was playing swain and I had 700 ap and when i auto attacked a turret it showed purple numbers like 300 as if my auto attack against the tower was procing on hit magic damage. I could take down a tower in about 10 autos as swain. This was really weird. Did this happen in a new update?

Yes, it did. They didn't want AP players to suck as much as AD players that aren't ADCs or otherwise attack-speed spamming champs.

it was a few patch ago let me see if i can find it..

yes patch 6.9

Ability power damage vs. turrets

When your ability power is more than double your bonus attack damage, your basic attacks against turrets scale with 50% ability power instead of 100% bonus attack damage
Basic attack scaling off of ability power now deals magic damage to turrets (base damage still physical)
