Tower Damage

Does anybody else find that tower damage on the inner turret, inhibitor turrets and nexus turrets is severely lacking?

I'm finding that the turrets which had changes are not dealing very much damage, I find i get dove by people with 0 armor items while building full dmg, take 6 tower shots and get out at half health. This sound familiar?

It would probably work better if the initial burst of damage was higher and then the damage done per second backed off and slowly ramped up. That way you get the initial "ouch" reaction from players that discourages tower dives.

I just want to feel safe under tower from someone who doesn't have at least a chain vest lol.

Low base damage that scales will of course end up scale poorly in the end.

It's like Riot just throws numbers out and hope they work.

To be honest, these towers feel like they were designed exclusively for giving underfed ADCs the ability to always last hit under them.

I agree with this. The towers seem to need a lot of numbers tuning before the new Season starts.

The thing is that the towers have insane ramping armor pen meaning it doesn't really matter if the tank or a squishy is tanking the turret which is kind of silly...

The damage resets if they switch targets, meaning if you constantly have the turret swapping target it will merely lightly tickle everyone

At least in the old turret system if you got shot even once you would get chunked on some champs, now you just receive a light pat on the head

The inner turrets are indeed seriously underpowered right now. I can't believe how many times I stunned or heavy slowed a diving glass cannon mage under my turret. I was really surprised she survived that with a single defensive item... Akali was a problem in season 4. Now in this pre-season she's even more broken...

I believe that Riot addressed this in the preseason Q&A thread. They are aware of the issue and planning to correct it.

I feel towers lack damage and defense.

It seems just a creep wave will secure a tower.
