What happened to turrets giving you a shield?

It started with Lazer turrents getting their slow removed.

Then Mid tower got it's shield for allies removed.

Then Lazer turrents got their armor pen removed.

Then outside turrents got their shields removed.

Then armor for turrents got reworked to the point it is now.

Towers have turned from something very dangerous to something that can be dived by literally anyone. Recently ive seen people get hit by a tower shot at level 3. Barely took a 6th of their health. Level 3.

It's getting out of hand.

More specifically here and here and (i cant find a patch notes to the slow section but i did find a board post here .)

Because people like would lose their first turret intentionally to free farm forever underneath their 2nd tower while being practically invincible with the giant ass shield. It was a step in the right direction to make changes to the shield but outright removing prob wasn't the best choice but hey, that's Rito's call to make.

dont whine too much, season 7 they will remove turrets completely to make lcs ''interesting''

I'm guessing its to decrease game time by making the tier 2 towers easier to siege and kill.

Tier 2 turrets became pretty much unsiegable.

You couldn't poke a team out and away from them, and hard engaging against a team that has bonus 150 or so extra health was reckless and suicidal.

This meant we only had split pushing or significant out-rotating to get down tier 2's.

The Tier 2 turret is meant to be fairly easily sieged and more difficult to defend than inhibitor turrets, the Tier 2's were actually harder to get than Inhibitor ones when they had that recharging shield.

They removed it because too many games were being held up with it with 5 people grouping mid under the second turret.

XD, shields on a turret that was a long time ago in a balanced game far far away, my boy. You see League is nothing more or less say MORTAL KOMBAT. Turrets are garbage 2 hits and their gone, and just fight fight fight, pick an adc top-mid-jng-and 2 stuns ap champions bot and there you have it a well rounded balanced game.
Oh..... yeah shields on turrets um.... they protected you so Rito took them away, can't have something that Protects you in mortal kombat now can we.

Riot Balance and Game Design Teams at their finest. Don't expect a legit answer from them. They are in the same boat as Blizzard Pre-WoD where they know best and nobody else is smart enough to tell them how dumb they are. We all know how that turned out for WoW.

in the future, turrets wont even shoot. they will just be mega pink wards
