Turrets basically ignore everything, landscape, walls etc. they shoot through. They are absolutely ridiculous at holding ground: 4 engineers putting 4 turrets in a 100 ft radius mean anyone crossing that zone will die very quickly without some serious healing. Combine this with BW AoEing your backline and Engineers shooting at your healers and you've got a recipe for a lost scenario (Mourkain Temple I hate you !). Imo they don't need a nerf (certainly not a buff that's for sure) but turrets shouldn't ignore LOS. Shooting through keep walls is just ridiculous. Very entertaining posts. Read the city siege one also and posted a reaaally long comment (with some good ideas I think but it was unnoticed) on Bugman's Best blog weeks ago(when the first city siege happened) in reaction to the lameness of it all as the overall feelings of the participants were the same as yours. Even though I've not experienced it myself, I hope it does change before I will because its certainly a deal breaker for me. Wonderful blog as always :).

Well, if someone were to post a similar article about Magii I'd find that quite helpful in killing them off, too. :p Hah!

You've made me more efficient at killing them off! They really have become a terror since 1.0.6. Grubby little things that they are. -_- Excellent article on Engineers!
