What if every champion had an ability that damages turrets

What if I could use my q on turrets as Veigar, use Anivia's E on them, what if Jarven's standard also slightly increased damage to structures. The reason we have ADC's in almost every match isn't because of their sustained damage, lots of champions have sustained damage, it's because they're the best champions when it comes to taking turrets. But what if we gave more champions like Azir the ability to also deal large damage to turrets? Do you think we would see a change in the meta that is so ubiquitous in this game?

I think it would make the meta much more interesting and allow for a called for turret health buff to something of 3000 from the current 2000, making casters (gated damage) more effective overall at killing towers. I also think this would give some room for tower specific interactions. I think we would see a lot more Mage middle lanes and more offensive supports again. Appropriate caster junglers would be good. Mind if I post some champions I have in mind? I think some interesting new strategies could come with this, but none too overpowered since towers have 200 (100 if minions are nearby) magic resist.

Heroes of the Storm made this a core design principle. It tends to mean that tower sieging is easy, as abilities are longer ranged than basic attacks.
