Sowhere midgame we were chasing enemy bot and I was about to engage the second lane turret when Caitlyn flashed, tanking it instead.

She only got one or two shots on target, so there wasn't much lifesteal, but all in all she took six or seven Tower shots and could have taken another before it got dangerous.

I remeber a time where three or four shots where well enough to kill any squishy at any time of the game. You actually needed armor to dive. But this was a Caitlyn calmly standing under tower fire.

The first tower is dangerous in the early game, but by the time you reahc the second twer those have fallen offso far to be a joke.

And you can actually take everything from the Inhibitor Tower to the Nexus in one go if the enemy is down.

I miss those days, when towers were actually an objective that required work to bring down since they were a threat.

I don't remember towers ever taking only four shots to kill a squishy...

You don't remember a time where 3 or 4 tower shots would kill a squishy at any time of the game. You think you remember, but you don't. Tower damage has been nothing but buffed since the beginning; anyone who remembers differently is either lying or delusional.

Just watched a "pro" game. Rumble and Kindred tower dived a Ryze at level 4. Both of them survived and killed Ryze ;)

Yeah, I was in a game earlier where we aced the enemy team at 28 minutes in a fight outside inhibitor turret. Score at that point was 18-12 or so. We didn't have baron buff or anything, had like 2nd dragon and that was it.

We knocked down inhib turret, inhib, nexus turrets, nexus. Game. From one ace. At 28 minutes.

What is this game? I do not understand.

honestly, i don't remember those days. Turrets always did shit damage. What you remember was probably a tower switching onto a squishy target AFTER THE DAMAGE ALREADY STACKED UP but the damage of the first few hits always was pathetic, and the stacked up damage is actually higher than it was at the biginning of lol.

http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Turret Tower damage has only been buffed That being said, they still need more damage and much more durability

towers get stronger as the game goes.

if cait shits on you then goes after you with too much exp she will be able to tank some shots

each shot deals more damage than the last, if the tower takes focus off you for even a split second the damage will reset

outer towers are weaker than inner but level faster. If you take a tower down fast and move on to the next one I think the outer ones will have been a higher level and you will be able to tank the next temporarily.

you got outplayed
