Is it possible to dodge a Tower shot after it has locked onto you and fired? [duplicate] - Hungarian Horntail Dragon at Universal Studios

Is there anyway to dodge a Tower shot after it has already been fired at you? I find myself Tower-Diving to chase an enemy down, only to get sniped at the last second by a heavy bullet that had been chasing me. Is there a way to dodge one after it has been fired after me?

I would prefer answers that can apply to many/all champions.



Best Answer

There is one way that works for every champion and doesn't need any items, BUT it requires the tower to be low hp;

If the tower gets destroyed while the projectile is in the air, for some reason, you don't take any damage from it. I've been saved couple of times because of this (and lost some kills). It doesn't help you much, but you really shouldn't dive if you're that afraid of getting shot by the tower.

And of course you can flash away if you're quick. The towers firing system works in really weird way (imo), sometimes when you enter the range, it takes a small amount of time until the tower shoots at you and sometimes it shots you instantly when entering the range.

Answer 2

If a Tower shot has already been fired the only way to 'dodge' the shot is to become untargetable (with skills such as Fizz's Playful/Trickster, Kalista's Fate's Call) or for the tower in question to be destroyed (doing so will make it appear that the tower shot hit you but will deal no damage).

I'm not too sure how Bard's Ultimate/Ohmwrecker will affect this. Obviously it stops the tower from firing all together but I don't know if it will cause any shots fired to miss as well. Successive shots will not however deal increased damage if the tower has been disabled and will start again dealing base damage and wracking up (as towers deal more damage the more shots you have already taken).

Apart from that the only other possibility I can think of (however gimmicky) is to either teleport/recall while taking turret agro and the shot will fly across the map (similar to Nunu's Iceblast). I don't know if you will evade the shot or if it will simply follow you across the map, but you will have healed up in base so it will hardly matter.
