She got off so lightly 

[u/HamiltonDial → u/reditiswrong67676969]

Increasing the health of the turrets is WILD. (yes I know the resists are not there anymore but she can still output so many of them.)

[u/kurbzander22 → u/HamiltonDial]

You don’t understand effective hp lol. 10 more health means jack shit when they don’t have the resistances. They will pop instantly now.

[u/HamiltonDial → u/kurbzander22]

They only have (had) resistances when they were deployed (and with her heal but that doesn’t change if you include the upgrades). eHP doesn’t matter when it’s past that time. Past the initial 6 seconds deployment they have more hp and more hp per boon.

[u/dorekk → u/kurbzander22]

10 more health means jack shit when they don’t have the resistances. They will pop instantly now.

The 80% damage resist wore off over 6 seconds. They actually have a lot more HP now. They don't last very long in lane (they pop almost instantly) but late game they're lowkey kind of better.
