Yasuo: We just killed the entire enemy team, and none of them will be up for another 25 seconds. We only have one person dead on our side. All 4 of our living champions are standing right next to the mid and bot inhib towers, which have our minions crashing into them. LET'S GO GET BARON!
Me (the one who died saving his ass): Take the towers because they are more important.
Yasuo (and I quote): "r u a fucking retard?"
Rester2 votesIt depends on which towers were still up to take. If you for some reason still had 3 outer towers that werent touched in the first 20 minutes of the game I would argue that the outermost towers would benefit more than baron to create map pressure.
Shadowphoenix1 votesWell what about the inhib towers? I'd say those are very important.
Infernape1 votesIt depends. If your minions aren't pushing and are a while away from the tower it would be almost pointless. By the time your team clears the wave(s), and the minions hit the tower, the enemy team has respawned, and can easily kill you because your entire team is under full HP.
Rester1 votesWell what about the inhib towers? I'd say those are very important.
I did say it depends, as in it's situational which call is right.
Shadowphoenix1 votesWell I'm saying for the situation I described it's clearly better to take the towers.
TheEvilQueen1351 votesi will say baron is important and not horrible to get when that kind of thing happens, especially if you already have minions pushing into the tower but his response was uncalled for. a "nah, get baron while we can" would have been plenty
Shadowphoenix1 votesBaron is important, but it's purpose is to make it easier to take towers. You don't need it more than the opportunity to safely take the towers. Plus why waste the time running all the way over to it when you are right at the towers?
TheEvilQueen1351 votesbut really one person could've stayed behind for tower and the 3 go to baron
Shadowphoenix1 votes1 person take 2 towers at the same time?
Lios Ashenblade1 votesIf you are able to take the inhib, and rotate to expose the one bot, you can get baron in the time it takes your comrade to be back up tho, towers win games, baron is a dangerous coin toss lol
General Esdeath 1 votesDepends on a few things:
If you have 3 champs who deal burst damage 
) you should baron. If you have attack speed champs who don't usually do % HP or true damage ( 
) it's better to get towers.
