Could we interact with towers to make then target players to reduce these early dives?

Maybe by channeling on the turret (like the dominion capture things) for 1 - 1.5 seconds makes it ignore minions for 5-10 seconds and target players and give its shots a cleave effect.

Something. Anything. To make towers not feel as worthless as they do currently.

Let me give you an example.

You are and your ADC are farmin' away, both lvl 5. Tri and river are warded. You see mid on mini map roaming down. "no prob, we both see mid lets just back off " Then you see the jungler show up on mini map and think "Well fuck here we go again"

So at my filthy casual elo ( low gold ) this is how the situation plays out (in my experience)

  1. You run away from the tower and pray your ADC comes with you instead of stickin around for those last 3 caster minions. Your tower gets blown up in one wave less than 10 minutes into the game. Not much you can do

  2. You try to stay and defend. The tower decides that 3 caster minions are more of a threat than 4 enemy players. The enemy team is allowed to completely ignore the fact that you are near a defensive structure and dives, usually with a CoC jungler leading the way. The jungler tanks 4-5 tower shots while diving you, doing 1/3 your hp while doing so, and give 3 other players the freedom to do whatever they can to kill you without an fear of taking any damage.

Its very important to understand at this elo I am not Madlife, and my ADC isn't Doubelift. Our chances of doing much here 2v4 is pretty low.

So here's my suggestion

-Towers now have a 5 minute cooldown(or whatever length of time is appropriate)that requires a player to channel at the tower for 1 second to activate it. -The tower will now prioritize targeting enemy players and gain a cleave effect on its shots ( Like Ravenous Hydra ), this would make aggro juggling more dangerous and give some threat to people not directly taking the tower shots

I think this would help tremendously with the current bot lane situation. I think it would also keep dives possible in solo lanes in 1v1 situations because the tower isn't instantly toggle-able (lol at that word) due to the channel time.

Is this a low elo pleb bad idea or something that could be considered?

I like the towers how they are, like if you get rid of diving at low levels, ya they are annoying but they are a gamble as well and add more of a frustation in the game. I see a lot of gank jungles but if they ended up stopping diving completly you have another s4 meta of farm junglers and just be like where my jungle is? playing farm vile. yeah it is frustrating to deal with, but towers arent really suppose to be the main protector just an objective

For sure, I agree, I think no dives would be pretty lame

But I do think that there should be more risk than there is now. If the dive works and you just go in and get 2 kills with no deaths you are probably going to get the tower and or dragon.

If one of the divers gets killed though, they at least have to think about " man can we stay around now and get this tower " or " shit, the jungler died diving, can we go 3 man dragon in time now?"

They are on toward of working on it, by probably toning down the heal on smite sooo, they are far less healthy from ganking and all camps are getting fewer exp.

with the 2 kills and no deaths its not every single game, but it does quite happen a lot more often. but to probably help the game if more from these dumb ganks if buff the control jungler class.

yeah nidalee was a real bitch last season, but i didnt really see a lee sin, rektsai, or a sej diving me on my tower so often. like if they buffed

nunu nidalee kindred skarner

theres more on the list but the problem with buffing control junglers is, nunu you get unkillable nidalee you get a gank monster and one kill snow balls kindred kills u in jg and kills you yeah skarner plays his mini game so not much from that

Farm junglers, > control Control > Gank Gank > Farm
