Is there a point in the game where you WANT to LOSE your outer turrets?

** This doesn't apply to mid lane **

So I was thinking, for top and bot lanes, is there a point in the game where your team is actually better off being without top and bottom turrets?

My reasoning: Costs of losing 1 of these turrets: Global gold to the enemy team Lack of vision / control in the nearby area Lack of a place to retreat to 1v1 when pushing out that lane

Benefits of losing 1 of these turrets: Rids teammates of a potential false sense of security - these turrets are easy to dive mid game. Potential lost xp as these turrets kill minions from too far out that you can't get there on time Lost gold for the same reason Farming any minions in the lane solo requires overextending Harder to build up a gigantic minion wave (less time before they hit a turret)

Considering late game, the corners of the map are near meaningless and the control isn't needed, I feel like there might be a point where your team is better off losing these turrets. Obviously you want to deny the global gold early for as long as possible, but eventually the couple hundred per player won't mean that much, and you'll be losing as much gold PLUS XP by having the turret up and killing minions while you're elsewhere on the map.

Has anyone else had thoughts on this? Do you bother protecting an outer turret at all once you hit a certain point in the game?
