additionally would suggest to reduce armour from structure-arrows on elite cav, like Kingsguard, DolAmroths, rohirrim, anorien cav with HA etc. so it takes some damage in return from lvl3 farms or lets say 2 towers defending it (towers should be rather quick to destroy for such cav, so it wont be oppresive or anything like that). Cause currently towers deal almost no damage, and i think thats their role, to protect farms from wild kingsguard and such. (only other way to use towers is to spam them in-front of other players base, garrison them and bring some seige, but thats meh)

except snoubourn trample damage is trash. Also, whos gonna use that when 2 peasants summon is far better for the cost? (being able to sumon 2 armed peasants of 300 cost + armour multiple times with long duration from 400 tower. disregarding any CP limitations, PP feeding etc from 4 towers, with overall 8(!!!) peasants)

gonna jump on that accusation train and accuse:

 

Boromir's knife throw (has ranged splash)

Faramir's Arrow volley at lvl5. (too short for "press X or die with half an army" from 2k hero)

also there is Faramir's arrow ability, same short CD as B's knife throw, but wont accuse it cause idk if CD there is that important.

Nah, lorien and WR towers have less health than others, it's easily destroyable without seige. By "easily" I mean it's worse than forward well for example, but obviously it still provides advantage. In some matchups for example gondor tower can be concerning, but wr and lorien ones need no seige
(unless we assume seige is needed for well+statue as well)

There is a popular misconception that towers ruin gameplay, that they make it too static, but at the same time belive that Wells and Statues dont do the same, that they are fine.  But i assure you, its just as bad. Static box benefits far more from well + statue than from tower.  

So, if you are hating tower camping, please do hate Well and statue camping aswell. Which you dont cause you asked to move statue to smth else.

As regarding tower being the main piece, dont worry, it wont. lorien has buildings with stuns, dots, heals, rebuild powers and many more. As for tower acting as statue, thats as much of hindrance as a buff for it requires to have both, and are a single target instead of 2 targets.

Regarding lorien having eco buffs, id prefer for them not to have any at all. Whats worse than a faction that camps? A faction that camps with money and strong lategame.
