Is it just me or do AP champs seem to do a ton of damage to towers.

There was a diana on my team last game who basically 6 hit the enemy inhibitor towers. Are they supposed to hurt towers so much?

Diana's passive deals bonus magic damage every 3 hits based on her AP. Most AP champions can't push a tower like her.

Not sure if this mechanic has been removed but as i remember "40% of your ap damage is delt to towers on auto attacks".

I remember one shotting towers last season as a custom game veigar. 4k ap will deal 1600 damage per hit to towers.

Diana has a 3 hit passive where her third auto does a percentage of AP to her target. If she had a Nashor's Tooth as well, that could contribute to it. Most AP champs do next to no damage unless they build Nashor's.

Some AP champions are just naturally good at pushing towers; Diana because of her three-hit passive, and others such as Elise because of her spiderlings.

It's not all of them though. Taking down towers as Karthus is a pain.

3 reasons:

1: AP champions were buffed against towers. They now have a .5 AP scaling, which is pretty massive.

2: Diana is amazing at taking towers, with her passive (that does extra damage in an AoE every 3 hits and gives her extra attack speed) being a thing.

3: I checked your match history, and that Diana had both a Lich Bane and a Nashor's Tooth. That means that she could have started with a Q/R, proc'd Sheen once, slap it, press W/E, and get another Sheen proc for huge burst. Combine that with tons of AP and attack speed and you're melting turrets.
