@Xypherous: Do you think turrets themselves are healthy for gameplay?

To quote you on the laser turrets being reverted to regular turrets:

We've stripped out most map elements that we thought either weren't working or weren't doing enough to justify their additional complexity add to the game.

I have to wonder if turrets as a concept aren't doing enough to justify their presence in the game. Every time someone turret dives you, the turret might as well not be there. They're always stupid, they always do bad damage, and trying to protect one USUALLY results in you being punished.

It makes me wonder if the whole idea of "statues that shoot people" is improper for League at this point. I mean, Heroes of the Storm seems to have done the job better with Forts (though HotS does play differently, so a comparison might be improper).

What are your thoughts on turrets as a whole?
