If there's going to be so much anti-tower/siege mechanics in S5, we need more ways to build turrets

With all the new "bonus damage to turrets", upgrades to Ohmwrecker, and other such mechanics, there's one critical flaw I've found: TOWERS DON'T RESPAWN.

Unless your enemies have an Azir, that Ohmwrecker or Elixir of Ruin will run out of purposes after some time. Towers aren't exactly hard to kill, you know; they're still pretty crappy.

To remedy this, I think there needs to be an item that lets you build a temporary turret, like Azir's Sun Disc, on a tower ruin. Compared to Azir, however, I say this item should only work on turrets on your side of the map (so you can't use it for sieging), and has a very long cooldown. Additionally, to prevent CD exploits, it would only sell for 40% of its value (like a Guardian Angel).

This would give Ohmwrecker and Elixir of Ruin good reasons to exist: To counter said new item. Said item would be great for helping your team defend inhibitors or creating advantageous defensive positions.

Anybody want to lend their opinion?

god forbid respawning towers

games gonna go forever with respawning inhib turrets and nexus turrets lol

so I'm wondering bout the price(and build path) of this item and how the burning of precious income will affect the team buying it

Not sure on price, build path, etc. I'm just tossing up the idea of an item that lets you build temporary turrets at ruins.

Though I imagine such an item would at least build out of Raptor Cloak as one part.

I see this item being used to stop the losing team from coming back after somehow winning a team fight they weren't supposed to (assuming a single player got away). I like the idea, but maybe if there was a long(ish) "casting time" on the item and/or low damage/hp stats (Or maybe make it target minions only?)

Maybe the same mechanics as Azir? If you walk too far from your constructed turret, it loses 100 armor. Easy tower kill. Also it would slowly lose health over its lifespan.

And yes, like Azir's Sun Disc, it would take several seconds to finish building.
