Please return fortification to bot lane towers

Ziggs bot feels pretty weak in lane, besides having almost no lane interaction (hang back and spam waveclear spells way out of range of opponents, sort of the exact reasons AP janna and anivia was nerfed through the ground)

The problem is (especially in blind pick games) if said ziggs is premade with a jungler that forces the enemy bot lane to fall back. Ziggs will then proceed to down the turret before 04:00 has passed.

What was your policy on fun, lane interaction and counterplay again, riot? Because im pretty sure punishing bot laners for so much as thinking about trading in lane is the exact opposite of that. Now you either hang back and attempt to afk farm while dodging at least two aoe skillshots per 10 seconds, or you risk losing your tower. Just from attempting to fight back against the extremely long ranged lane bully that can hit an entire minion wave with one 6 second cooldown spell.

This change was one of many Riot did to make the game faster. I wasnt playing SR map because the matchmaking is crap, and you try to surrender at 20, but your team want to stay and lose the game at 40. I was only playing ARAM, but recently i decided to try SR again and the matches are faster and that is great. Is they fortify again, it will take longer for bot lane to fall and end the lanning fase.
