"Rewards those early push(es)"

Why? The barricades seemed like a good idea until I saw they reward players for pushing them down early. It seems like this will just bring back incentives for junglers to come down bot ASAP to kill the laners and heavily push down a turret for even more of an advantage.

Crazy idea - make it harder for early game damage/pushes and don't reward them?

I understand the idea of certain comps having to end games early, but still. I'm tired of the early game damage creep and shitty turrets. Just buff them, there is no need for any kind of compensation buffs...
