Crumbling Towers

Just a thought, Towers should crumble as they take damage, Letting us know with a glance how much damage it would take to destroy one. Towers that regenerate should have an animation at certain stages where pieces fly up from the ground and replace themselves.

I don't know about regeneration effects, but just like towers in Howling Abyss, SRU towers crumble as they take damage.

The inhibitors should be like the Phoenixes from Smite, who have an animation when they respawn.

I love how the towers fall into the holes when they are destroyed.

They have confirmed that the turrets on Summoner's Rift will have damage animations similar to those on Howling Abyss. They haven't specifically mentioned if the damage will reverse itself for things like inhibitor turrets which regenerate.

Towers that regenerate could glow faintly, and when the pieces fall: they float midair (like xeraths taunt?). When they regenerate they could get sucked back into the place where it fell out of, and when the turret is destroyed, all flying pieces would lose their glow and fall onto the floor.

I hope they act like the ones on howling abbyss and start falling away with damage

Hi! Just a question... Since there are fewer polygons the fps should be higher than the current SR, but won't the dinamic parts of the map like waterfalls contribute to a fps increase?

Okay... I have been playing league for over 1 and a half years and I know this might sound difficult and it will take time; but I thought maybe to make a bond between the map and the champions, like a different texture. I'am guessing this summoner's rift is basically a giant step for riot, however if the map is changing visually, shouldn't somehow the champions too?

Thanks for hearing me out.

So if an inner tower takes damage, and shows the animation of taking damage ( yep the animation of taking damage) and then regenerates health(as all inner towers do).... is it still going to look damaged? 0.o im confused on this, I need answers!
