They do stuff early game, they just fall off late game.

So I have to genuinely ask, what do people want turrets to do?

They arn't meant to protect you later on in the game (quite the opposite infact, by then you should be protecting them), they already do relatively significant damage to squishies; enough that you can't ignore them unless your team is coordinated enough to juggle aggro.

Asking for tanks to take significant damage from them once they have an armor item or two under their belt seems unreasonable (otherwise; whats the point of buying armor if your just as squishy as everyone else to a tower).

Bear in mind; I'm referring to regular turrets, which ironically do more damage to squishies than the inhib and nexus turrets do (for whatever reason)

That second paragraph made no sense. Just having a SFC brings turret damage down a ton. I want turrets to actually do something. At lvl 3 with a lee sin or Elise in the jungle it is so easy to get dove under tower. Right now they kinda just do good damage at lvl 1 and 2, but at 3 if your team knows what they are doing you can get easy dives with the right champs.

Thats just it though, that sort of thing is very hard when its not coordinated. So unless you're up against a premade, I don't see it happening often (and taking more than 2 or 3 tower shots at level 3 is basically a guaranteed death; even 2 shots is probably a surefire death if the enemy laner also targets you).

You'd need to get in, attack the enemy laner and kill them, and then get out; all the while with the turret attacking someone. Its probably significantly easier for people like Lee who have extremely high mobility, but even he can still get locked down under turret.

All that said, I wouldn't be against raising their power if it really needs to happen, its important to not make them too strong though or you risk having things like 50+ minute games with Xerath just clearing waves all day long because you can never dive him (hypothetical example but you get my point)
