Tower Upgrades

I have been thinking and then read PBE changes ( 6.9) on how turrets are getting buffed. So here's what my thought process is.

Not all teams are made same. Some teams have split pushers who stack up AS, some are stacking AD, while some are stacking Armor to take tower hits and still walk away with 70% hp.

So why not let team decide on how to rack/stack/ configure ( whatever you can call) a tower. Using items, in-game mastries. Just like how we do with champs.

  1. For when tower needs wave clear. AS itemization. Low on damage but good for wave clear.
  2. For when tower needs to withstand AD splitpushing. AS reduction ( like item 3110 )
  3. For when tower needs to punish. ramping %hp true damage to champions.
  4. For when tower needs to stop magic damage (haven't seen, but think like Shyv with wits end). item 3156 with Patch 6.6. LIFESTEAL too.

Just a random thought, it becomes a base building strategy game. Instead of 3 kills at 15min mark and 3 lane towers +inhib are gone.

Hmmmmm so you are saying why not have the option to buy turret upgrades? I like that idea. There was also a minion mechanic similar to this where you could build up points to buy certain types of minion to add to the next couple waves. Shouldn't be too hard to use this same mechanic applied to turrets.

I honestly kinda like this idea a lot.
