Dont worry Im not shouting overpowered or unfair here..
Just after a good strategy for breaking the rook lockdown, other then gang up.
Increase your armor value to mitigate tower damage. +hp/sec gear also helps mitigate tower damage. This is why Platemail of the Crusader is one of my favorite pieces of armor.
Well I've fallen victim to this tactic before so just this very last game I played, I thought I'd give it a shot. I specced my rook out before hand on a website and was ready to go. Turns out, if you don't have enough time to plop down a good amount of towers well beyond your nearest default tower, it doesn't hold up. So:
-catch him before he defenses up
-come in from behind
-team up (:P)
-Regulus/Sedna/Queen
I thought mana would be a factor, and at first it was, but after two helms - I was able to stay out on the front line long enough to acquire 9k before I knew it. My final conclusion on this one time trial is that while it's great for area denial (and that's important), I'm far too interested in seeing my enemies fall. I ended with 1/2 k/d. I was caught off guard for the 2 deaths, and the 1 kill I wasn't anywhere near where the guy died. Pure luck.
The most effective tower Rook I've faced that comes to mind was a guy named Owa. I know I've seen him on the forums before, so maybe he can go into more detail.
