Why do turrets even exist?

They don't hardly do damage. They are bugged out of this world. ( They don't target champions attacking you well within the range of the turret.) They are ridiculously easy to destroy.

So the only purpose is to hold of minions and even that they suck at.

ex. I had a riven sit under tower for 7-10 seconds attacking me and the turret did no damage to her.

If you intend to look at my game vs riven fine - i know she was fed - before she was fed she had 1/3 ~ health and it took 2 turret shots 1 e , 1 q and 3 basic attacks to kill her under the tower. I think this was lvl 8- 10 i dont remember

Towers exist as little barriers to overcome to push towards the base. They arent really there to kill champions, theyre to stop/delay a push and remove minions from the wave, and make champion fights riskier (not impossible) for the enemy.

They exist for you to protect, not really for them to protect you.

They don't need to be impossible to dive. I am just saying they dont do much of anything. It would satisfy me if they scaled better late game so they hit heavier later in the game. (scale with champ health(predicted champ health))

if we had no objectives to protect this game would make no sense

yeah... But since the T1 turrets dies the instance you back off (or die) with out TP and their jungler helps pushing, I sometimes wonder myelf wether taking away that first line of defense would be a bad thing. It would open up the jungle, making jungle control the most important thing in the game, what could be an interesting thing if done right.
