How fast do Nexus Turrets RESPAWN? (Season 2025)

[@hunglee7529]

From what I can see the respawned turrets don't have that passive armour that's active only when minions are around, allowing for backdoor still. Honestly this feels like a good change

[@feyzos1201]

Only makes it better for Lethality sion going R backdoor and one shotting both turrets without minions

[@vespertide7311]

@@feyzos1201 the fact that they respawn at all is a nerf to ad sion doing that though

[@samuelt8825]

3min cd to respawn vs no turret armor and damage reduction, its more like a buff to sion, 1 R to destroy tower, one respawn and 1 tp or R later the game is finished​@@vespertide7311

[@Marshadow1]

i totally agree. someimtes in a close match, both teams would have their nexus turrents destroyed. the team with advantage would be clearly that 16/20 yorick. or others with the TP.

Hey can we get those indicators on the Inhibitors too? Feel like that'd be a nice QoL change.

[@lumafa1351]

We already have a circular indicators on inhibs, but they arent as easy to see

[@DialRforRad]

we already have it tho. just not as more visual as this.

[@konaqua122]

I'd rather wish riot would incorporate the timer to the design instead of an indicator. It just looked cheaper. The new map is refreshing though.

[@Orendiz]

The Cooldown ring thing indicator seems to be missleading. When it ends, the tower still isnt technically spawned, it only does then the animation finishes. I wish riot would've timed the indicator with the animation.

[@ptbro3334]

Good idea

[@kenji3985]

yeah there's 15 seconds before it can fire again

its the same with the inhibitor just that the tower animation is longer

[@amethonys2798]

It'll probably actually be listed in the patch notes

[@madmakluvr]

Literally "dev notes", "developer", meaning it's still in development and is subject to change. Even if it's in PBE already they can still change stuff until they release the live patch notes, where stuff are finalized.

[@FrenchDinosaur]

I get that you want to see clear numbers, but it's also dumb to expect them to know 100% that these will be exact variants going to live servers. It's like rating food after seeing it for the first time from the menu.

There should be a white blink when the turret becomes active after the animation, like when Baron or Drake spawns.

[@lonelywolf6604]

In one of my recent games there was a Yorick that kept split pushing so hard in normal like his life depended on winning this game. I never seen split pusher like him, he used every single possible opportunity to sneak or tp to our base using the ward he previously placed knowing he gonna die that time. He died 9 times running solo like brainless monkey to nexus but he finally made us lose. I'm so happy with this update now

someone check in on baus he might have passed out in happiness

[@doorsday147]

he can finally give multiple baus specials in one game he must be so happy

[@Cardboard_Cut]

And the respawned turrets seemingly don't have the extra resistances when minions aren't around, so he could one-shot both nexus turrets at 100% health with one Baus special.

[@ricardogenskowsky92]

Thanks for using Dominion music, I really miss that game mode.

More budget than Zilean ever got in his entire existence, my man still has ps1 graphics, permanently sealed off and ambiguous lore, been in the 1000 day skin club twice, is WELL on his way to a third trip, and has received 0 changes in patchnotes directed at him specifically since 2015. And this is for ONE champion Riot REALLY needs to put down the new champions every 4 months and slam the gas pedal on modernizing their existing roster

[@shadows_star]

@@pheonixwarrior10fold They've said outright that Zilean is extremely unhealthy gameplay wise and if he were to ever be modernized, he'd need to be significantly nerfed and the only reason he's allowed to exist how he is, is because he is not played a lot.

DO they still regen?

[@theflyingtomahawk1625]

If it is as one of the top comments said, where the towers are not fortified when there are no minions around good change, IF NOT then the timer should AT LEAST be 10 mins respawn

[@misterpancakes1390]

So what would be the interaction of Azir's passive tower just right before the current respawns?

Test the interaction with azir passive. I usually used to put it on there as a substitute for important nexus defenses.

[@Hi-pn6nk]

Is swiftplay available on the pbe yet?

[@gorogoro6555]

3 minutes means it most likely allows Dragons and Baron to respawn so the team got overwhelmed can change their game, ignoring some amount of minions

can you try solo breaking those towers without minions? which champions can do it etc.

[@bluemario610]

I wonder will turrets respawn in ARAM too or just the rift

[@Artur-sp8qn]

3min is valid

[@Unknown-gc7tn]

Honestly 3 minutes sounds reasonable. Even at max level, you get 2 chances to backdoor or 1 chance to win a big teamfight and just force the end. Tbh, it’s still not going to stop a back door Nasus or Mundo

That's finally something I always wanted! Sadly most of players always surrender... Good thing I always play with a mate... So you WILL see one nexus go down 😁

[@riccardomereu2044]

Does the time scale with how many minutes the game is on or it's always 3 minutes? Like, if I destroy the turrets at 30 minutes or 50 they will respawn always 3 minutes after?

[@Vandiril]

seems to be flat 3 minutes

[@tadihotado3518]

Dont let the 3 minutes respawn turret distract you from the fact that the moment they can take down both of your nexus turrets at once is the moment they can just end immediately, unless they're youtubers

[@OGRapGangster]

nexus turrets are so pointless, i wish theyd add some turret upgrades for like 2000 gold in the store for late game

[@tadihotado3518]

@ i mean its good for spotting split pushers, but if they’re tanky as heck like mundo and ornn then yea they’re worthless

[@HeyKeito]

does they have the same ammount of health? is it less?

[@georgepal7717]

They have 3000 health the nexus had 5500 but now has 3000 to

[@HeyKeito]

@georgepal7717 very helpful thank u :3

[@AidanWR]

Honestly, good that it doesn't have the same respawn timer as inhibs. That'd actually be such terrible design to have to retake inhib and turret on the same timer every time you siege the base

[@KeuraChan]

Well, i think (opinion, didn't played it yet) that 3 minutes is fair, considering they seen kinda squish, as how fast the game seens to to go, buff early game team with boots, new monster and minion buff, feels like it is okay,

[@vu3277]

Backdoor is probably more difficult now. I think so.

[@PlaceOfDestination]

Give nexus turret bonus stats when only 1 champion is nearby and no minions present, so no backdooring ever possible smh.

[@cyriell]

I hope aram doesnt get this, as much as how frustrating it is with a enemy pantheon or tf some team compositions will make this unwinnable by default, have poke teams vs full engage teams were the poke teams always get pushed back and usually 1 or 2 enemy champs survive i often with focus on minions etc (if turrets are still up) means enemy will respawn before the minions make it to the nexus towers making pushing really hard near impossible respawning turrets in those situation means pretty much a instant loss for the poke team, you can say skill issue i can kinda agree with that but mmr is mmr 90% of the community is bronze silver or gold and its aram so rngesus with champs is still a thing

[@Eventzz0]

*HIT THE NEXUS NOT THE VLAD*

[@alexalex-gs9sp]

it already feels like its fkin impossible to end games, now they gonna fkin respawn?

[@konaqua122]

Should be at least 6 mins. "Baron Nashor respawns six minutes after being killed" 3 mins is too short. There should be high penalty for letting your nexus tower dying, which is 6 mins respawn time. Also, does that mean you need to kill inhibs + nexus tower to destroy nexus? Scaling champions like nasus and Smolder will take over this game if that passes through. Games would be boosted from 30 mins to 50 mins per game unless you're hard snowballing.

[@ogio1601]

I feel like 3 minutes is too little, in decent games thats like 2 fights max. You shouldn't be saved just cuz your nexus survived, you should deffened base atl for 5 minutes before you go back to checkpoint

[@kikosaurusbh]

Can't wait instead of 40mins game to play 120mins instead.

[@euqinemor]

Another Bauss nerf for sure.

[@joaoinverno]

Way too quick imo. If you base and do one objective (drake or baron) after destroying these turrets, your team pretty much only has one push until the turrets respawn. Unless your team is really far ahead, I think it's way to easy for the enemy team to stall for turret respawn. I guess they don't want to make it 5 minutes, so that it doesn't take the entire time between objectives spawns (causing losing teams to not be able to contest objectives), but 4 should be fine.

[@Precigian]

What?! Just 3 minutes. Honetly, i would much rather a long cooldown, at least 6 minutes, but keeping the minion passive.

[@georgepal7717]

Don’t worry most of the times Emmy team rushes base they pretty much end they game

I wonder if the respawned Nexus Turrets are gonna have same stats as original ones I just hope they only have same HP, but probably less AD (probably only around 70% or 80%) and Armor/MR (around 50% or 75%) than the original Also I think 3 minutes respawn is too short, maybe 3:30 or 4 is enough considering inhibitor have 5, alternatively make them have different timer based on how many is destroyed, first one is always 3 but destroying both will make the second turret respawn longer like 4 🤔🤔🤔

[@plantcrone9662]

i think the time is too short, also idk if they should come back with full health. Maybe half health or they should get less health each time they respawn.
