He is usally out of range for that.

1 minute is a long time in DG. An unenhanced tower had 5600 hp which takes 93.3dps to take down in 1 minute. By level 2 all DGs can do more than that so left unattended any DG can clear a lane. All Generals can do so with minions thus taking no damage. TB can do it with rank 3 fire ball. UB can do it with rank 3 spit and Rook has structural transfer which counters the tower damage.

The problem isn't that Regulus can take down a whole lane by himself. The problem is that no one is harassing him. Any DG that is left alone to grind creeps and destroy towers is going to get ahead.

Welcome to Demigod.

If you leave any DG unharassed for extended periods of time they are going to be doing bad things to you.  Bottom line: you need to have at least semi constant harassment on all enemy DGs.  And Reg is one of the most easily harassed DGs - pretty much any of your DGs should be able to force him off pretty quickly.

Any kind of complaint that Reg is overpowered is being a little silly.  Reg is like the 5th best DG at best, and I like and play Reg a lot.

My point is, they just run. As in, turn around and fuck off for 5 minutes at the sight of a CoF. Try it.

Also wheras the mines would hurt, Fire Nova has a pretty decent range on it, at lvl 5 hits for 400 + lvl4 fireball thats about 900 worth of damage, not to mention the CoF and some random auto-attacks, and thats enough to send a reg packing early game.

Now if only fire mode TB autoattack worked properly...

I wasent saying regulus is OP, no where did I say that, learn to read.

People again seem to think regulus isnt getting harrased in that time. That is not true, the thing with him is that you can take down towers in your spare time, when you aren't doing anything. Also one ability won't make a regulus fly, thats just stupid.

 And still, he is a better siege demigod than even Rook, even if he can't hold the lane there is something called teamwork. Seriously a good regulus wont run from a circle of fire, it will just step away and shoot out of CoF range. A supported regulus: say with UB or Rook, can easily clean all your fronttowers.

You can make a good argument for Regulus being overpowered due to the range of Snipe. If you cut the range of that power down to 30 at rank 1 and let it increase 10 units per rank it would be fine. It's also fine if you're only playing against one Regulus at a time. But as it stands today Snipe becomes unbalanced on most maps with more than one Regulus at once. Add in multiple Wrath of Gods and you've absolutely got balance issues. It wouldn't be a big deal if the range of both powers was limited to 50-60 at max level.

There is a max for slows, came in 1.1, and it is very noticeable.

As for regulus vs towers.  Yes, he is a good killer of towers.  So are most generals however.  So is rook. TB can freeze them in groups, and beast can spit on them and walk away.

In all reality, most DG's are better than people think vs towers. Regulus is simply a little easier at doing it (never has to get in harms way) than others.  He doesn't necessarily do it faster (Erebus with 6 nightwalkers, and 2 priests takes them down rather fast).

There are problems with stacking certain DGs on almost every map.  Thats why its generally not allowed.  Claiming that Snipe or Reg is overpowered because of something common to many DGs and that isnt allowed very often is a bit questionable I think.

For most games (in which you cant stack DGs) Snipe is a mediocre skill and Reg is a mediocre DG.

Yeah, they are pretty bad expensive solutions, but could be used. I think with Erebus though, he gets in with swarm, hits bite and then Reg is in a lot of trouble, especially if Erebus has charm. Personally, I am usually using a minion build with Erebus so lack charm, but I don't have any problems keeping up with Reg once bitten.

The great thing is that if you are in a 2v2 or 3v3 situation, you have taken Reg out of the game at least. You have then sandwiched your other opponents and can hit on their weakest.

The biggest problem I see with Reg, is that people don't watch what he is doing. He is very fragile but easily counterable just through knowledge. You know you cannot go down to under 500HP, you will be sniped, so you have to play to that. You watch where he lays mines or get a Totem, that skill is also wasted.

Watching a Reg where he has nothing to do, because people are avoiding his mines or his snipes are just being wasted is a very sad sight.

If you are letting him sit on his own in a corner of a map, taking down creeps and towers, then you are in for a world of pain.

what makes you think he isn't supposed to be the best anti-tower DG?

what else is enhanced range even for?

you present this like its a problem. its not a problem. its just a quirk. i mean, you could write a post called "the problem with Sedna" and then go say something like "Sedna heals the best, clearly a problem." 

every DG has strengths and weaknesses. outranging towers (and other DGs) is Regulus' strength. not a problem. and not unintended. this is the design of the game. 

Regulus still needs 2 points in scope to outrange archer towers and 3 points to out-range forts, both of which do a hell of a lot more damage than normal towers. Scope II and III aren't avalible until levels 5 and 8 respectively.

As such this is more of a map design flaw than a skill imbalance, since the side lanes on Cataract have no archer towers or forts and can easily be taken down by almost any DG. So add a couple of archer towers and perhaps a fort to each side lane and problem solved.
