Why couldnt Turrets just be tankier without giving free gold?

I really dont understand the reasoning behind the change. A Turret will give you 640 gold before you even fucking destroy it. Just think about that for a second, thats more than 2 kills.

The community has been asking for stronger turrets for years and Riot cant even give us that without tacking on some extra mechanic that serves only increase gold gain and item progression at the same time.

Its literally fucking two steps forward one step back with Riot.

Whats the point of even roaming with turrets in this state? You're actually penalized for it.

Leave lane to roam, come back and your lane opponent has not only out csed you but has 160-320 extra gold on top of it.

they made the outer turrets tankier, so that they don't fall as quickly, but Riot also didn't wanna punish players (particularly junglers) who like playing aggressive lanes and pushing turrets early at the trade off of jungle farm, this playstyle being so popular is what was making turrets fall so quickly. Riot didn't wanna punish players who did enjoy that playstyle, so they tacked on the extra gold, to still give them a reward, without first turret gold going so quickly.

i personally don't like it, but i see what they were doing.
